I picked up a steam deck just before the holidays and this was one of the first few games i played on it and across 4-5 weeks i put nearly 50 hours into it. It's so fun/addicting i couldn't put it down.

One of the best parts, for me, is under accessibility settings you can turn off damage and magic drain making you immortal wth endless magic in the combat side of things. As someone who isn't the biggest rogue-like fan this was perfect. As couple stress free dives for resources and advancing the story then right back to my silly little farm for hours.

Fuck that. I opened the game and the first thing that came to my mind was "let's see how close I can get to a literal blood and sex cult".

Not that close, I found out.

Or at least, a very tame version of it.

Growing up Gen X in the midst of the Satanic Panic, this game potentially becomes everything we were warned the world would become if you listened to rock music lol.

That said, my boyfriend and I made our entire cult out of cats.

I'm not into photography so I could be mistaken. But from what I've gathered, power points are the four points where the lines intersect in the rule of thirds (or the four corners of the middle box). Supposedly the eye is drawn to these four points of an image.

I'd also like to know lol, all I think of is the Microsoft presentation software

It's a Hades rogue-like and a colony management game. But it's not deep on either front.

The combat and rogue elements don't come close to a dedicated rogue-like game as Hades.

The colony management doesnt come close to the depth of a dedicated management game.

It is centred around the novelty of a taboo: managing and dictating a cult. There are plenty of little things to do besides the two pillars of the game, but it doesn't take long for you to have "seen it all".

Mind you, this doesn't mean the game isn't fun. But it's very light on its individual gameplay mechanics compared to dedicated games.

Combat is fun and similar to Hades but not quite as deep. That said the community management aspect is a big part of the game so if you're not into that you might struggle, there's a lot of deciding what to build / talking to your cult.
