Player Comments on The Cult

The biggest challenge of the game is getting through the first two pages. I recommend that no one attempt to eat while reading, the viewpoint character (I hesitate to call him a protagonist) will do sanity damage to you IRL as he's wading through the empty pizza boxes and trash in his room and tossing back flat room temperature Mountain Dew while peeing in a plastic cup.

The only truly unrealistic thing about this story is that such an individual took the steps to leave the house to have these events happen to him at all.

There's multiple ways to get routed back through certain pages, and it's not always a completely smooth transition from the previous page, that's the only real criticism I could come up with. The writing itself is proofread well and very straightforward--very very straightforward. Ogre's style is always crystal clear about what's going on, but I do sometimes wish for a little more pizazz in sentence structure. If not for the fact it was obviously written by a human who farts a lot and has a functional sense of humor, there were some sections it might be fair to squint at and go 'beep boop?' if you didn't know Ogre as an established author here going way back.

The atmosphere within the compound is disturbing enough that you may start to feel some sympathy for dear, hapless, flabby Jorge and wish for him to come out of things unscathed...but that maaaaay not be in the cards. And while the story we did get is pretty funny, there's some actual peril of a more serious nature in play here, so there was a time or two I was wishing for a more suitable main character to do clever protagonist things while finding a way out. Because a similar plot about a less disgusting human escaping a cult compound would be a lot of fun too.

And yeesh, I have never seen an orgy tent I wanted to enter LESS.

Good fun and an enjoyable read :D

This game isn't very inviting. It doesn't immerse you in the world, and is much more like watching it happen then actually choosing the story.
Most of the options aren't really choices. If you want the true story, then it is easy. I think that if there were more choices, and it was from a first person point of view, then it would work.

Otherwise, I think that it has a good story thought, but it seems very immature, unrealistic, and the main character is annoying.

I was too fat to run away. :(

This is the most relatable storygame ever

Hey! Free Kool-Aid!

Sus food yuummyyy

A good game for a giggle. Nothing to be taken seriously, just a nice short piece to read when you’re having a rough day.

THE ORGY TENT!

I didn't leave the cult
