What players say

Players describe dense occult worldbuilding and inventive tabletop-inspired mechanics, but the opaque systems make it a struggle. Many compare it to Cultist Simulator, though some find Apollyon even harder to decipher. Players split on RNG and lack of in-game guidance, while praising the writing and non-linear storytelling.
