Super Cult Tycoon 2: Deluxe Edition


Our entry in Super Friendship Club's "Mysticism" pageant!

NEW! VERSION 1.0
> PLAY IT NOW: Unity Web Player (3.5 mb)
> DOWNLOAD IT: Windows (11.5 mb)   |   OSX (10 mb, Intel only)

Control your very own cult in Colorado; brew Kool Aid, sew wallets, build PR agencies, summon amorphous capture spheres, construct monoliths and ward off those pesky FBI agents -- then run off with the money.


At it's core, it's a rather lightweight tower defense / tycoon game.

We also wanted to play with the idea of RTS buildings as narrative tools. The crazy assortment of buildings serves to characterize your cult, an amalgation of real-life cults, the Blisstonians in that one episode of the Simpsons, the cult in Strangers with Candy, and many others. There was also some light research done into how these cults percieve themselves -- to them, the word "cult" is a slur used by established organized religions to marginalize their personal practice of religious freedoms. We tried to incorporate that argument into the game as well, though of course, the silliness trumps everything.
