Hi r/linux_gaming!

I've posted here before and you guys have enjoyed my work, so I'm back to deliver more news about my entirely text-based strategy game where you create your own religion which runs natively in the bash terminal.

Think like Civ or Crusader Kings, but you're playing as a cult leader and your upgrade system/tech tree is actually you creating and choosing new beliefs for your religion! I've had a lot of fun working on it, and you can see the creativity and love poured into the various upgrades/beliefs you can establish.

Thought it might start your weekend off with a laugh!

The game is called CultGame and you can wishlist it on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2345980/CultGame/

Hi r/indiegaming!

In the big year of 2026 I have decided to make a game that is entirely text based and runs out of the terminal, and to make it even weirder, it allows you to create your own new religious movement, where your selected beliefs are the upgrades/perks that make up your build over the course of your playthrough.

Will you make a cult of druids who preach only to animals, or will you establish the new meta with a cannibal cult? These are the kinds of questions we need to be talking about right now.

It's called CultGame and you can wishlist it on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2345980/CultGame/

Demo will be out by end of the year!

Hey r/dosgaming,

I love the aesthetic of old terminal and text-based DOS games, so I made a silly game where you get to create a cult and design its belief system! It all runs out of the terminal for that genuine aesthetic too. Thought it you might enjoy it!

Thanks for reading :D

Hi r/commandline! I'm building a game entirely in the commandline where you get to make your own cult. Here's the UI for letting you select your cult's beliefs. I think it's pretty silly and that it might start your weekend off with a laugh!

If you're interested, the game's called CultGame and you can wishlist it on steam!

Hi r/ASCII!

I'm making a game that plays entirely out of the terminal and uses an ASCII user interface. You get to create your own cult, and the beliefs that you select are the upgrades and perks that influence gameplay. I figured for fans of a niche aesthetic, you might also be fans of a niche game idea!
