It's finally here! Christopher's Build - comprising an advanced player-versus-demigod mode where you help a previous character ascend while muzzling (or murdering) one of four displeased immortals - is here! All 20,000 extra words of it.
It's free for all players, and you should see an update queued in Steam. It puts the 'cult' back into........... 'difficult'. A ha ha ha. Ha. :)
KEY FEATURES
★ MAJOR VICTORIES: You achieved immortality? Well done. Now, the hard bit. Play as your own Apostle, executing a doomsday plan to make your immortal character something like a god. Pursue the path of Grail, Lantern or Forge. Assemble the Great Feast; open a door into light; or Bring the Dawn.
★ MOAR LORE: Delve even further into the rich lore of the Cultist Simulator world. What is the Dawnbreaker Device? Where is the flaw in the world to be found? What is the Third Mode of the Tricuspid Gate? Who are the avid, ancient, brilliant women who call themselves the Ligeians... and why are they helping you?
★ IMMORTAL ENEMIES: They’re here to prevent your greater ascension, and add challenge and replay value while they're at it. These powerful NPCs make Detectives and Rivals look like playground bullies. See your loved ones kidnapped; your finances shredded; your affairs exposed to the public; your dreams become a battleground. Confront them in person, if you dare.
If you haven't already, now might be a good time to refresh your memory of the basics with our Beginner's Guide to Cultist Simulator. Downloadable in lovely PDF form, here! <3
WHERE'S THE NEW CONTENT IN-GAME?
All you have to do to unlock this hideous New Game+ mode is beat the game. Achieving any standard victory will unlock three new Apostle Legacies, one each for Lantern, Forge and Grail.
SOUNDTRACK
We’ve also just released Cultist Simulator’s 15-track OST from the same delectable composer as Fallen London and Sunless Sea. It's £7.99 / $9.99, and you can find the store page here!
(Though if you'd like to buy it via more traditional means, you can find it on iTunes, Spotify, Google Play, Bandcamp and a host of other places... just search for 'Cultist Simulator' in your music store of choice.)
LIVE BROADCAST
If you want to take a look at the new game+ before you dive in, Systemchalk is broadcasting the game now on our store page (and hopefully, with enough views, the front page of Steam too!). Just go to Cultist Simulator's store page to view - Alexis and myself will be in the chat too, so come ask us all your questions!
