Are there any good games featuring heavy occult elements?
Cultist Simulator is great but I've played enough of it by now and I'm kinda tired of it
Are there any good games featuring heavy occult elements?

I've never seen anything remotely Crowley in games, so probably not.

if you are looking for simulators, i would tell you to make it yourself. Theres nothing like Cultist Simulator. Theres some narrative games like Sunless Seas. There are some adventure games like chthulu games but they lose the hype otherwise. Theres some shitty vampire games(not occult but something).
Yeah, you should design and make your game, i could even bet it would sell a lot.

>heavy occult elements?
Bruh that's just what they use to boil eggs in the south. Why you gotta make something out of nothing.
Jonathan Jenkins
SMT designs may be great, but they're often lazy with little relation to their source.

A lot of games use the occult for inspiration snd visual themes. However, very fre actually delve into concepts. You need either an Rpg or an Advebture for that, and there are too few which do:
Real world occult references:
>Amnesia fan campaigns
Check Shadow of the Ramlord
>Soma
Some cool references to transhumanism, Ai and Jung
>Talos Principle
More on religious philosophy and existentialism rather than occult, but really worth mentioning and has a ton of references.
Game occult lore: (more than just thematical)
>Morrowind
Great if you go deep into books/lore. The Sermins are literally Crowley-tier but is its own thing as in you need to enjoy Elder Scrolls as a setting.
>Eye Divine Cybermancy
Not much occult content but heavy on themes and throws into the story as well
>Arcanum
>Planescape Torment
>Pathologic, The Void
Camden Gray
I really want a super /x/ style RPG
basically VBTM in 1800s with secret societies and shit
Henry Foster
where do you study occultism? what concepts to look for?

>Cultist Simulator
>Only 4 Temptations n 3 are almost the same
>Most of the cults are SHIT

Occultism is about faggy old pedos sucking each others dicks, so be on the lookout for that.

Not really

Are there no games with elaborate ritual magic and such?
Elijah Walker
Just try some real magic OP
Lucas Cruz
No
Cause they are fucking BORING

rimworld with the Rim of Madness mods lets you make your colony into a lovecraftian cult, complete with an alternate wincon of summoning Cthulhu and ending the world.

Hey man, you're basically asking what is occultism. I'm on my phone and can't write much, but here's the gist of it:
Occultism is an umbrella term for all sorts of practices and philosophies which have formed outside of "accepted" religious behaviours.
Religion means to "re-link" (literally from Latin), reunite with the Divine - the ultimate scope of man. Occultism means "hidden knowledge"; so you have tons of books and guys calling more direct - or adverse - ways of achieving this Union - or attempting to become God.
So if you want to "begin" with occultism, you should first start to graso religious thought. Or - delve into atheist/satanic occultism (such as Lavey) but I don't recommend that, as all of these are mostly fraud or just worship lesser concepts of God (attrubutes: such as individuality, pride, intellect, etc).
In any case, be wary that occult writers are reactionary to reactions which formed as countercurrents ...etc to established thought; exameple (backwards): Crowley

Not just Cthulhu. There are 6 or 7 different gods to worship. Each have their own rituals and rewards.

Doesn't Yellow King's final spell merge the planet with Carcosa? I vaguely remember completing it.
William Richardson
Forgot to mention: Occultism also implies lesser magic, which is called "pragmatic magic". It attempt through magical works (spells, incantations, sigils etc) to affect the material workings of the world by affecting the magical (upper) workings of the governing (spiritual) world which sustains the material plane. (Love spells, binds, riches, good luck, ruin, etc)
But again, this is "advanced practice" and is basically an attempt at "cheating" the natural order of things/ other people's spiritual freedom. It usually backfires and what you gsin is always payed threefold sooner or later.

In Bully, in the basement of the comic book shop, there is a chalk circle drawn on the floor. Of course as a Rockstar game, the file texture is small and blurry beyond all recognition. This could be a weird occult attempt for the nerds to sway the election, or it could just be some simple prop for Grottos and Gremlins.

The entire game is built on fighting occult shit directly as its influence poisons and contaminates everything around a small town. You even employ it yourself as necessary.
Hunter Johnson
very good advice, thank you
Elijah Lopez
I use to have a friend that was into occult stuff. He'd always have shit luck and constantly getting into trouble. What you said could explain it, but I think the most likely conclusion was that he was an idiot.
One thing I remembered about him was that he always carried a bag with two stones. One black, one white. I forgot what they were supposed to do though.
Nolan Morgan
I forgot what they're called, but those stones are supposed to lean you in the right direction with whatever you wanna do. You ask a yes or no question and then pick a stone from the bag, if white then yes, if black then no.
