HONEY, I JOINED A CULT
BOW BEFORE YOUR LEADER! HONEY, I JOINED A CULT IS OUT NOW ON STEAM Sole Survivor Game’s debut ascends out of early access, welcoming players to the strange and lucrative world of 1970s cults.
Team17 and Sole Survivor Games have today launched cult management sim Honey, I Joined a Cult into version 1.0. Placing players as the architect of their very own cult, they will design every aspect to the cult leader’s exacting standards, building everything from energy spas to spirit chambers, ensuring their would-be followers have everything they need on their journey to enlightenment. Running a successful cult is no mean feat, players will need to balance cultists’ happiness, handle meddling outsiders, and manage their leader’s inflated ego to keep things running smoothly, their followers devoted, and profits up.
Update 1.0 includes interactive police raids and protests, a difficulty selection system, help manual, carpeting system, steam cards and achievements, alongside new in-game content and customisation options, balancing improvements, and quality of life changes. The full launch also introduces free DLC available for all players who own Honey, I Joined a Cult before 10th November (including all purchases made throughout early access) and features cosmetics from other Team17 published titles, including The Escapists, The Survivalists, the Worms franchise, Blasphemous, Yooka-Laylee, and Narita Boy.
During its time in Steam Early Access, Honey, I Joined a Cult received major content updates that increased the variety of cults and significantly expanded its game mechanics. The Peace & Love update introduced six new themed rooms, two brand-new endings to explore, new outfits, and a rework of the tutorial and prestige system. In March 2022, the Futurist Update took Honey I Joined a Cult to the final frontier, introducing new themed rooms, special characters and missions, new items, and updates to the Divine Inspiration and Research Tech trees.
