This game was a lot of fun! I was able to find a small bug where I could keep sacrificing humans for food while spending all my workers to find more humans. I was able to beat the game pretty fast.


I'd say this game needs some slight balancing but the concept is there and it's a lot of fun! awesome submission! Hope to see more out of it.

Really awesome concept and great execution! The core game loop is really fun, although it might be a bit hard punishing some time. I felt like the only way to win was to get lucky with the building, and once you're set up you become to big to fail. But I had loads of fun, managed to beat it around my tenth try!

The footsteps sound are a bit unnerving when you get more than a dozen, so maybe always play the same sound without regard to how many followers the player has, I feel like the visual indication is enough! :)

Great game, really happy I played it!

This is a gem! I really enjoyed playing this. Played like 7 rounds until I was finally able to survive long enough to build the bunker. There is almost nothing negative about it. Well the ruins thing was not quite clear for me: If you send 10 people out, do they all go for the ruins and risk dying? I avoided those, so I never found out, lol.

Great atmosphere, nice choices on mechanics and balancing. Super well done!

Thanks a lot for the positive feedback!

For the ruins, it calculates the lethality of each human, so there's a chance of all of them dying at once perse, so it's risky but the reward is good as well.

Looking back at it now Might be good to just send a part/%amount of the group into them xD
( Didnt want to add any sliders to avoid cluttering )

Really liked this! The art style was awesome and the audio was nicely done (although I'm not sure about including the Wilhelm scream lol). It took me a few tries but I did eventually get a bunker built - maybe the RNG is a little too hard at the beginning of the game but maybe that's part of the fun.

Also I'm not sure but I think the ruins may be bugged, it didn't seem to do anything the first few times I clicked and I wasn't sure if I was getting something from it or losing humans. I also was a bit confused by the shelters as they said they lasted 3 days, but they seemed to last forever?

Overall though a really great experience!

Oh no I need to check, maybe shelters are bugged then in the new version xD
( Edit: You're right, a pin wasn't connected )

Thanks for playing,  Wilhelm scream was just for giggles :D

Oh no so I guess I won the game because of that bug haha... oh well, glad you got it fixed!

I really want to play this game but it's really hard for me. I run out of resourcces super quick. Despite of that, I rated it really high.

Developer

Thank you for the Feedback - which Ressource in particular? :D

Submitted(+1)

Never mind, I sent too few people for "materials" on the first round, after that I couldn't build more. New  request: Please add a "restart" button :)

Developer

Sure thing :D

AHaha, I always wanted to have my own cult... After playing this game, I understood that I have to be able to manage my cult, so for now I will postpone this idea for later. Good job!

Great idea! I like the simplified graphics and clean UI. I wasn't able to get very far, it may take me some time to figure out how to survive better!
