While I fully enjoyed the game's narrative, humour and its overall sims-like design (being fully customized and all), playing this game felt so tedious. I spent hours just fast-forwarding days and waiting for something interesting to happen.
This game is currently in the Humble Choice for June 2023, and this is part of my coverage of the bundle. If you are interested in the game and it's before July 4th, 2023, consider picking up the game as part of the current monthly bundle.
All hail the great Chet GeePeeTee.
Honey I Joined a cult is pretty funny. It starts with a disgraced cult leader escaping getting plastic surgery, and thus forming a new cult, which you run. You have the cultists that you can order around and followers who you bilk for money. The entire game plays like Prison Architect, where you build out the structures of the cult, and run the day-to-day operations, and is pretty accessible.
But if you’ve been watching the screen, this is ultimately a tycoon or management game. You build the objects, and just wait for your characters to use them. You can order people around but the main part of the game is similar to Simcity, or Cities Skylines, build it and just wait for it to work out. The game also has a tight tutorial but after that the game just lets players experience what feels most like a sandbox.
Pick this up if you like Tycoon games. I enjoyed the idea here, the writing is well done, and the style works. Even the idea of running a cult is more of a theme than anything but there are solid ideas at the core of the game, and if you like the art style this should work for you. However, there will be a decent amount of time waiting for things to happen in the game as well, even at full speed.
