Cultist Simulator

Takes the timer watching elements of free-to-play online games and combines then with a lot of highly obscure resource management. I understood very little about the game until I made a big spreadsheet to keep track of every resource conversion. The lack of automation is the most damning problem; constantly putting the same card into the same slot on a 60 second timer over the course of a 4 hour run feels utterly mind numbing. The writing is good enough, but I'd recommend reading a book instead.

Excellent atmosphere, and it often feels impenetrable (maybe like a cult?), but the creepiness left me feeling dirty, and the tedium and organization required were too much for me.
