How it feels
Building a cult and spreading a moldy corruption with a calm, creepy, deliberate pace.

What players say
Players describe it as an idle clicker with a Lovecraftian horror theme, many call it a screensaver or waiting simulator. There is no offline progression and the fourth prestige is locked during early access. The soundtrack and story get praise but the gameplay is minimal.
