The idea of needing to balance faith in the cult and blessings (from sacrificing people) makes the game-play more engaging. Really cool visuals too. The "cycling" through sacrifices whilst holding the X key and using arrow keys are not very intuitive especially since arrow keys are already used for panning the camera. I think mouse controls would've been better for selecting the members. Also great job on the background music, especially since you made this game in PICO-8!
