About
You are an Eldritch horror, summoned to the human realm.
You’re soon to realize, however, that you have more in common with your followers than you thought - they, too, have a longing for The Void.
The Void in their case is, however, mostly something they call ‘y2k’ and ‘retro anime aesthetics’.
But oh well, every god needs clout.
Build your church, gain followers, give away miracles.
Romance your head priest. Or don't.

This is so good 🫶🏻 Once you get a grasp on how to not go bankrupt you can pretty much get all the endings relatively fast! (spoilers ahead, kinda) loved the true ending, took me a while to figure it out but now I can kiss Theo for eternity- I need more of him please
yall have to play this game its so peak
Couldn't for the life of me figure out how to get endings other than running outta money or dying to cuthulu, but I enjoyed myself alot nontheless! Loved the satrirical take on "beyond humanity" powerful mf creature assimilates to humanity plot; had myself a good few chuckles throughout. All in all a fun game!
I finally hit the ending of Death! He's so adorable and cool... Such a charming, gentle, merciful pupper ^ω^💖
↓maybe spoilers
And his interaction with Acoite is very intense. The story and writing of the ending was also great, My favorite line is "Human poets always say love is the source of death, but you of all beings under these skies should disagree on that. Know that heart diseases are the leading cause of death, worldwide. " i was struck... In addition, piano music is also very suitable for Death! A wonderful ending💖💖💖love u all
wish they three live happily together🤐THEY'RE THE ULTIMATE PATUOOTIES IN THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE🤤🔥🔥💖💖
Okay, I just got the first ending. It wasn't the ending I wanted, but... Ugh... Now I have no idea how I can get more endings. I think I need some guidance? I don't know, I'm too stupid for such a novel 😭
is there a guide? im stuck on 3 endings and i cant get more :"(
I agree with u yes i need a guide too
i do hope that this game supports more languagesT T
THEO LOVE ME THEO PLEASE!!!
REAL
I SECOND THIS-
Nah Bro, this is Lucius Merryweather if it was good The Game
DUDE I WAS WONDERING WHY ACOITE LOOKED SO FAMILIAR-
Eu realmente gostaria que houvesse uma versão deste jogo traduzida para o português do Brasil
pain
make sure to save if you play this game.
money money money nom nom nom
Hi, i was just wondering because i looked at the tips for the ending, how much potence do you get by lazing around (like do u get 1 or two etc) and how many minions do you get by summoning minions
This was such a great game! It was a lot of fun and super cute! Also I somehow managed to get the true end on my first try lmao
The ultimate trigger for all of humanity
Slavoj Zizek
every fruity/trans communist's final boss :c
I'm sorry, we never meant to hurt or trigger anyone!
In the game there are referenced and discussed some ethical and philosophical points raised in Zizek's works, (and personally both of us devs do enjoy some of his works ourselves), but we never mean to share any. . . questionable, troublesome, bigoted or problematic views he might have.
If his mentions are indeed a trigger to you, you probably shouldn't play the game! . . I believe that other than that there isn't supposed to be anything queerphobic.
oh no! gods no sorry, i meant it in a lighthearted way
it was meant to be a joke haha, sorry if it didnt come off like that >.<
About halfway through your game rn, its amazing!! i didnt know you could make such complex stat systems on renpy!
amazing game ! <3 I only had the true end so far, but I wanted to ask, are you ok with fanarts ? I'd like to draw Theo and post it on my Twitter, but I wanted to ask first just in case :)
sure! you can also share on our Discord, we really appreciate fanarts and are happy to get them!
kinda wanna see Acoite cussing out Cthlulu
Hi creators, I'm sorry to review your game before I've finished playing it. But it was so great and so much fun! I love Acoite and Theodore☺️☺️💗💗💗 I haven't seen Death yet but look forward to seeing him!
I'm curious about what Theo looks like without glasses🥺🥺❓must be cuuuutee
And whether the creators will post artwork about the game on their accounts🤔❓I'm sorry I'm not very good at using foreign social media. How can I follow creators? I'd love to see fan fiction and graphics about the game plz🥺🥺😭😭😭🙏🏻🙏🏻
I was curious to see what the endings would look like, but the text was too large for me to read. Some of the theories and words are too difficult for me 🥺😵😭
Anyway, I am willing to study English hard for this game... I really like some of the ideas that are explained in the game.💗💗💗
Great stories with followers! And the interaction with Acoite and Theodore was awesome, hope to see more of them both....
Sorry for using the translator. If my English is good enough, I really want to translate it into Chinese and introduce it to more people 🤧🤧😭💗
Hi! Thank you for your kind words!
We have a Discord server where we post fanart and talk to the players:

(•̩̩̩̩ _ •̩̩̩̩) Doesn't someone make a walkthrough? It's so hard for me
I mean a guide
This game is amazing but where is the option to make friends with a certain pasta god?
extended edition soon wink wink nudge nudge
"non-consensual mind-reading and mind-altering" the wording makes me feel like it happens in a freaky way.
lmao
spoilers below elaborating on that
no not really? in one instance you can make your priest not report you to authorities for committing murder
in the other you save a teenager from existential despair by looking into his soul and help him remember the joy in his life
I've been through both options. The plot is so well designed, I think it's amazing!!! 🥺💗💗💗love
honestly. wish it di-
Heyy!! I've currently gotten 4 out of all the endings, and IVE LOVED IT SO FAR LIKE OMGGGGG- fangirling aside, please help me get to the other endings💀😭 idk what im doing mann
me2!!!🥺🥺
loved 10/10 no notes! ok well, notes but of praise.... Aconite and Theo r so lovers,,, I've sadly only got one end but they r so inlove ur honor!! & Aconite and Death..,,, toxci doomed yaoi pls... Brainrot aside, i loved this game. The interactions between characters were my fav, v witty and flowed well. The actual gameplay was sort of an afterthought for me though but that is cause i am the god of micromangaging games (trust me) In general i loved playing an eldritch horror with a unspoken relationship with my priest. Will be playing for other endings!!!
is it ok if i make acoite my pfp? will credit the game in my bio thingie :3
sure, go for it <3
i loved it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! esp when i found out how to get thru true end. it was majestical!
i absolutely adore this game omg. i only have 2 of the endings so far, but definitely going to try for all of them. i love the character designs (especially acoite's, of course), the art is so good (including the backgrounds!), the dialogue is funny and the characters are all lovable. and i am so so excited for the extended edition! this has gotta be my favorite game i've played on here, praise atj'oebc'titep!
The color scheme is sooo good. I liked the gameplay and dialogues. Didn't get all the endings so I'll be back
really cool game full of kitty mischief and I got most of the endings I wanted BUT- i was wondering if there is any way to ‘accept’ chtulhu’s offer? Everytime i get to that part the only option i have is to ‘refuse’. I tried a few things but still to no avail T_T heeeelp
hi!
spoilers! yes you can
there's a hidden evil substat and you need 2 evil points
first evil point you get from murdering the pizza delivery guy
second evil point you can get by calling scam emails amazing during week 12
Hi, I can't seem to find the game when downloading the mac file?
Came expecting simple edgy cat boy shenanigans, left with an uncomfortably shallow understanding of how humans change narratives in order to make sense out of their discordant universe. 10/10 choccy milks would befriend flying spaghet monster again, thank you for sharing your amazing work!! can't wait to see the extended edition <3
Obsessed with this game, really entertaining and memorable main characters.
What a beautiful and fun game
need more demon cat boy
extremely charming! but is there by any chance an ending guide?
I didn't understand how to get past that stupid octopus thing... I already got 100 on that one, The Divine Order, but I don't understand what I need beyond that
you also need potence+minions > 12
you get 3 minions for one 'summon minions' and one potence for lazying around during weekend activities
hope that helps!
i love the photos it makes me cry with joy
begging for the ost
It should be unarchived by default in "game/audio" folder (windows version)
alr thanks!
def not for christian and muslims
I love it <3
This game is so much fun! I love the characters, and the game has some really good comedy.
Aw I love this game! It's so genuinely funny (I have ZERO shame admitting that I cried over the dialogue between Theodore and Aciote) and I LOVE the premise, really well written!!
I'm a little lost on how to romance mah boy Therdeo tho :( where do I put my energy? I keep selecting to just keep talking to him after week 38, but that doesn't seem to be enough.
I'll probably figure out a way eventually, but thought it was worth asking.
That being said, FANTASTIC game! Loved it!
