About

Cultist Simulator (2018) is an indie narrative RPG that blends card-based gameplay with atmospheric storytelling set in a 1920s world of eldritch mysteries and forbidden knowledge. Created by Alexis Kennedy of Fallen London and Sunless Sea, the game focuses on text-driven narrative choices and card manipulation rather than action, making it a unique entry in the simulation genre. Your choices determine whether you seek knowledge, power, or revenge as you build a cult and uncover hidden truths.

Since Cultist Simulator is a text-heavy card game with minimal graphics demands, it runs smoothly on virtually any modern GPU and requires just 1 GB of RAM at minimum. You won't need to worry about FPS performance or benchmark testing here—even integrated graphics handle it without issues. The game prioritizes art direction and narrative over demanding visuals, so graphics settings are straightforward and scalable across budget and high-end hardware alike.

With a solid 69/100 rating, Cultist Simulator appeals specifically to players who enjoy narrative-driven indie games and simulation mechanics over traditional action-based gameplay. If you appreciate psychological storytelling and atmospheric worldbuilding over graphics performance, this is absolutely worth playing.

Performance profile

May 2018 release. Cultist Simulator was built around the GTX 10-series / RX Vega era. Current-gen mid-range cards (RTX 4060 / RX 7600) are overkill at 1080p and handle 1440p Ultra comfortably.

Simulation titles like Cultist Simulator are heavily CPU-dependent — physics, AI and world state dominate the frame budget. Prioritise a CPU with strong single-thread performance and fast RAM over raw GPU power.

Extremely light — Cultist Simulator runs at 60 FPS 1080p on any integrated GPU (Intel Iris Xe, AMD Radeon Graphics) or a decade-old discrete card like the GTX 1050. A current-gen RTX 4060 pushes 4K Ultra without effort.
