Last week, the former Failbetter devs at Weather Factory released Cultist Simulator, a card game simulation that puts players at the beginning of an H.P Lovecraft-themed adventure. It’s a unique approach to the narrative genre, eschewing typical conversation mechanics for deckbuilding and complicated if-then loops that play with a particular flourish.
We previously covered why Cultist Simulator uses cards as its core mechanic, but today we’re giving you a chance to ask your questions to Weather Factory co-founders Alexis Kennedy & Lottie Bevan at 4PM EDT on the Gamasutra Twitch channel. We’re going to be going live with Cultist Simulator, asking about the game’s beta process and trying to get more technical and game development insight so our readers can start their own cults.
Er, companies. We meant companies. Yes.
As always, be sure to follow the Gamasutra Twitch channel for more developer interviews, editor roundtables and gameplay commentary.
