Latest Steam announcements

  • Evil Cult is going to become completely free in a month - 2 June 2025

    Hi, everyone. It's been a long time since I've posted anything here. The title says it all really. If you wanted to purchase Evil Cult and didn't for some reason, just wait for a month and you can have it for free. The reason is pretty simple: the game has faded into obscurity as is the way of most games and I'm not willing to spend more time working on it. Currently, I have Parasite to work on (which will likely become free as well at some point) and I've wanted to start the work on my third Steam game for about two years now, give or take. But since Parasite is not released yet, I have to finish it first. One final note: the game is and always was open-source. The Github repository is there and is easily findable. If you're a programmer and want to have some fun, be my guest. The game uses a clean HTML/CSS/Canvas Haxe code which is compiled into Javascript and runs in Electron (in a C…

  • Evil Cult v7.0 Artifacts of the Arcane - 19 September 2020

    March 16, 20-- The coppery stench of my brothers’ blood floods my nose. Let it not be said that I was cruel; they were sleeping the sleep of the just when I slit their throats. No room in here for those old elaborate ritual suicides anyhow. And yet I find myself wishing for those old days. Or even just one day. Yesterday would have been much more auspicious for sacrifices such as these, for reasons both obvious and eldritch. We thought we could move, could relocate the Mask, but there weren’t enough of us left to carry it safely. The Hiding was the best I could do, powered by the death of the willing, but I suspect it may be all for nothing. Literally a day late. I still don’t know when They began tracking us. At first it seemed like nothing, a couple of brethren waylaid in the types of dark alleys where our tasks sometimes take us, a necessary risk of the calling. But it became clear t…

  • Evil Cult v7.0 Beta Test - 4 September 2020

When the expansion is enabled in the start new game menu, the adepts require such artifacts to be upgraded into priests. If no artifacts are in the cult's storage, then the upgrade is not possible. To acquire the artifact, you must first find it. The artifacts are searched for by your sects when they reach level 2.

Short description

This is a strategy board game of Lovecraftian macabre. Gain resources, grow your cult, stay hidden from the world, and when the stars are finally right summon the Elder God you worship. Alternatively, just eliminate the competition in an invisible war.

About this game

Evil Cult is a turn-based strategy game about various sinister cults all vying for world domination. Whether through completing the Final Ritual or eliminating all opponents, the victory will not be easy. Managing a cult is a tricky job, you see. Pesky investigators, multiple offspring sects, bloodthirsty opponent cults, these are all threats that have to be dealt with or successfully evaded. And all that has to be done below the radar of the human society. This version of the game was upgraded with a modern UI look and interface. However, the classic minimalistic black design is fully supported, too. Various long-standing bugs in the classic version were fixed and all gameplay features were backported to coincide with the 10th anniversary of the release of the first public version. Features include: Artifacts of the Arcane Expansion - Use mysterious occult artifacts to enhance the base game. Multiplayer - Shared screen multiplayer is available. Join your friends or play against them. Custom Game - Tired of playing the base game? Start a fully custom one. Each of the gameplay variables is open for tweaking around in this mode. Four hours of music - An incredible electronica soundtrack by Jeremy Rice of Curious Inversions and Introspective fame, known by the fans of the original game. Classic Mode - Full classic mode graphics and UI included. Relive the nostalgia. Investigators - These irritating investigators never cease to vex the cults, bringing the additional challenge. Sects Management - Using manual micromanagement or an AI advisor, these, erm, devoted groups of unsuspecting people will help you reach your nefarious goals.

Price History Overview

USD uses SteamPulse's own locally recorded daily store snapshots, so this overview reflects the exact regional price history that SteamPulse has captured for this currency.

Coverage And Tracking Window

  • Snapshots: 1
  • Coverage: Sep 22, 2026 to Sep 22, 2026
  • Lowest observed: Free
  • Highest observed: Free

Evil Cult's USD price history spans from Sep 22, 2026 to Sep 22, 2026, with 1 recorded snapshot across 1 calendar day. Each row records the available final price, listed base price, and discount metadata for that observation. Within this coverage the lowest recorded price is Free, the highest is Free, and the first visible tracked price is Free. These comparisons apply only to the snapshots SteamPulse holds; missing observations can contain changes that are not represented here.

For USD, SteamPulse uses locally captured regional storefront snapshots and does not reconstruct older prices with exchange-rate conversion. The chart and table show the values recorded for this exact currency from the stated coverage start. Additional snapshots extend that record, but they do not fill unobserved days or prove what the storefront displayed between observations.

Discount Windows And Sale Timing

  • Discount windows: 0
  • Discounted days: 0 days
  • Deepest markdown: No discount tracked
  • Latest sale window: No sale window tracked

Evil Cult's tracked USD rows do not contain a discount window. This means no available snapshot in the stated coverage has usable discount metadata; it does not prove that the game was never discounted. Missing snapshots or archived rows without complete metadata can hide a sale, so SteamPulse does not infer pricing strategy from this absence.

If a later snapshot includes discount metadata, it will appear here with its recorded depth, price, date, and sale name when available. Until then, this section should be read only as a description of the available rows, not as evidence about the publisher's promotion policy.

Observed Price Changes And Stable Runs

  • Observed price drops: 0
  • Observed price rises: 0
  • Longest stable run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking
  • Current run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking

Outside rows carrying discount metadata, the tracked price has not recorded a separate price rise or drop yet. That means the observed undiscounted level has stayed stable across the snapshots SteamPulse currently holds. This is a statement about the recorded coverage only; it does not prove that an older or missing price change never happened.

The longest unchanged price stretch in the current record lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at Free, from Sep 22, 2026 through Sep 22, 2026. Among rows without discount metadata, the longest unchanged run lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at Free. The latest run records Free for 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking as the same recorded undiscounted price. Run lengths describe consecutive stored observations only and do not establish that a price is permanent.

Latest Snapshot And Sales Context

  • Current price: Free
  • Current list price: Free
  • Distinct observed prices: 1
  • Source mode: SteamPulse local tracking

The latest tracked snapshot records Evil Cult at Free in USD, with no active discount metadata. Across the available history SteamPulse has recorded 1 distinct final price in this currency. This supports comparisons with the lowest, highest, and most common values present in the retained record, subject to the stated coverage limits.

The live sales view and Steam sales record provide calendar context for these dates. A date overlap can be compared with a named Steam event, but it does not prove why a publisher changed a price. As new daily rows arrive, this overview recalculates its observed prices, discount windows, and run lengths automatically.
