Attention Orphans!
Today marks a milestone we’ve been preparing for since the first whispers echoed through the orphanage.
Cult of the Child Eater is officially LIVE in Early Access at a 35% discount for a limited time!
The Lights are out.
The halls are awake.
And the ritual has begun.
Thank you to everyone who joined our playtests, shared feedback, reported bugs, attended events, or simply followed our journey.
You helped shape the orphanage into what it is today.
Without further ado, let's dive right in:
🔥 What’s Inside Early Access
Phase 1 of the orphanage (Main Building) is now fully playable.
What You’ll Experience in Cult of the Child Eater Phase 1:
Unpredictable challenges.
Each match generates new puzzle combinations with different solutions, so every escape attempt is a completely unique challenge.
Orphans' minds break down.
As fear rises, the horror dynamically intensifies. Hallucinations, distorted visuals, and whispers that twist and change with every spike of terror.
From cultists to monsters.
During each session, cultists gradually transform into brutal, demonic creatures, becoming tougher, faster, and more sensitive to sound.
What you find is all you have.
No loadouts, no guarantees. Whatever you manage to find in the orphanage is all that stands between you and the cult.
Tense team dynamics.
Up to 6 players can work together, share tools, and pull each other back from the brink, but survival is never guaranteed for the whole group.
Your orphan develops.
Match after match, your orphan grows tougher and more skilled, unlocking stronger stats and abilities that carry into the next escape attempt.
The map is your lifeline.
A detailed map tracks puzzles, routes, and your team’s positions, packing every clue you need to plan an escape instead of dying lost in the dark.
