CULTIC News

Another minor patch with some additional QoL stuff and fixes!

• Issue with system audio causing loud menu sounds, log spam, and crashing should be fixed

• "Rescue Mission" achievement should now work properly and not trigger if the teddy bear was the last prop you interacted with
  
• Overwriting save files should now properly work, rather than creating new files each time
  
• Survival: Purchasing ammo should now immediately update your current ammo count
  
• Your Quick Swap "previous weapon" should no longer get overridden when you pick up a physics prop
  
• A potential fix for a game-breaking bug occurring during lengthy Survival runs
  
• Using the pistol's alt-fire should no longer stow the lighter
  
• An Out-of-Bounds exploit in E1M3 has been fixed
  
• A collision mesh issue in E1M5 has been fixed
  
• The shotgun should now still fire if you attempt an alt-fire with only one shell
  

Quick patch to address a couple of issues and add some QoL options!

• Fixed bind for a [REDACTED] weapon that was previously missing from the rebind list
  
• Adjusted LAR Deadeye Upgrade to properly mention the alt-fire
  
• Added a Run Toggle key (Caps Lock by default)
  
• Added a HUG Toggle key (= by default)

[h3]What is CULTIC?[/h3]
[hr][/hr]
CULTIC is a horror-flavored retro shooter, with a focus on tight gunplay, open-ended combat, and environmental interactivity.

[h3]What is the story of CULTIC?[/h3]
[hr][/hr]
In CULTIC, you are a disgraced detective who dug too deeply into a string of grisly crimes. You find yourself immersed in a nightmare, fighting against the ranks of an insidious cult as you shoot, slash, blast, slide, dodge, and maybe throw a chair or two.

[h3]Who is making CULTIC?[/h3]
[hr][/hr]
CULTIC is being developed by Jason Smith as a solo project.

[h3]Which platforms will CULTIC release on?[/h3]
[hr][/hr]
The initial release of CULTIC will be on PC only. Other platforms will be explored after all chapters are released.

[h3]How long is the game going to be?[/h3]
[hr][/hr]
CULTIC: Chapter One contains 10 maps and Survival Mode. Players can expect between 3 and 5 hours of playtime for this first episode, depending on their pace and thoroughness, not counting additional playthroughs on other difficulties or time spent in Survival Mode.

[h3]What is included in Chapter One and what is to be expected from Chapter Two?[/h3]
[hr][/hr]
Chapter One begins the player’s story, and takes them through cult-controlled territory across 10 maps, including some boss fights. Chapter One also includes Survival Mode and a few maps for it.
Chapter Two is expected to be at least as long as Chapter One, and will continue the story.

[h3]Are you planning any further content releases after Chapter Two?[/h3]
[hr][/hr]
Chapter Two will wrap up the story that begins in Chapter One. Additional story content has not been confirmed at this time.

[h3]Are you planning to release the game in Early Access?[/h3]
[hr][/hr]
No, CULTIC will not be participating in Early Access.

[h3]Will CULTIC have Multiplayer?[/h3]
[hr][/hr]
CULTIC’s initial release is single player only. I would like to look into co-op content in the future, but this will be determined after Chapter One release and based on the development timeline, and players’ interest.

[h3]When is the game coming out?[/h3]
[hr][/hr]
October 13, 2022 at 10AM Pacific Time.

[h3]How much does Chapter One cost?[/h3]
[hr][/hr]
You can get CULTIC’s first chapter for 9.99 USD / 9.99 EUR / 8.99 GBP.

[h3]How much are the next chapters going to cost and what will be the game’s full price?[/h3]
[hr][/hr]
Chapter Two is expected to contain roughly the same amount of content as Chapter One, so the cost would likely be in the same range. A decision on this will be made closer to Chapter Two’s release.

[h3]Which languages is the game going to support?[/h3]
[hr][/hr]
CULTIC is currently available in English. However, we are planning to add more languages after the initial launch. We will inform everyone once there is news regarding this.

[h3]Will I be able to transfer all weapon upgrades from Chapter One to Chapter Two?[/h3]
[hr][/hr]
Yes, the plan is to allow weapon upgrades to transfer to the next chapter, so we recommend players to hold onto a save file from E1M10 if they don't want to play all the way through Chapter One again.

It’s one of gaming’s great tragedies that we never got a sequel to Build engine classic Blood. At least, not one worth speaking of. Enter Cultic, an ambitious spiritual successor from solo indie developer Jasozz Games, launching today into early access. Despite being only part of a planned whole, what you can play of Cultic right now is a juicy (positively blue-rare, even) budget-priced slice of halloweeny FPS fun...
