- Choices occur every turn and matter, so choose carefully.

- There are a total of 13 different endings, including 2 "happy" endings.
How to play:
- Events will occur, people will prompt you to answer questions. You must swipe either left or right and left click to pick an option. Your 4 meters gauge standing with authorities, cult standing, wealth, and sanity. They can go up or down depending on your decisions. If a meter runs too low, or too high, you will "lose". Expect that to happen a lot, the game is designed to be replayed as you learn. This isn't a conventional game where you win by getting to the end. It's more of an exploration of narrative.
- The game is heavily inspired by Reigns, which was developed by Nerial and published by Devolver Games.
- No AI assets are used in this game.

Did you get one of the real endings? If not, you must have been very close.
i mean i just randomly died so i think that was one but, if these endings do not involve the meters filling up or emptieing out i did not get them yet i guess. will hunt for them for sure!
