i like the aesthetic a lot especially the way you try to make my screen looks like those old curved glass screen TVs the blend of 3d and 2d pixel art is really cool .. its just the game didn't explained much to what to do after the demon showed up i got the gun reached to the priest shoot everything i saw nothing happened so i just free roamed the entire game until i got bored and quitted for which i dint found the quit button ;-;  (if even their was one)

The graphics ,atmosphere were very well made

At first I played the web version but it crashed the browser so I went with the windows one and damn I was impressed with the gameplay , I am sorry it has gone unnoticed in the jam

Best of luck for upcoming games bro :D

Yeah, I unfortunately wasn’t able to fully optimise the game for web, was only testing on PC.

If you can, try it out as a standalone app: 🙏🙏🙏

Download links:

Low-res version for slower PCs: https://marswake.itch.io/just-start-a-cult-windows-low-res

High-res version for fast PCs:  https://marswake.itch.io/just-start-a-cult-fixed-windows

I accidentally deleted the original file without noticing the warning about uploads being disabled - sorry about that!

The only changes I made were:

  • Removed shadows in one version for better performance on older PCs
  • In low res: Additionally, used a simpler fog effect, reduced resolution

Unfortunately, I can't reupload them directly here right now. But you can still grab the versions from these links:
