Feast your eyes upon its glory and bask in its light! 🙏🏼
Item customisation
Your cult is unique to you, so make it truly yours with even more item customisation!
Loads of game items now have colour options to suit your Cult's theme!
Floor customisation
A big request that we have seen during Early Access is that we allow Cult Leaders to change the flooring of their rooms! We've listened to this feedback and have implemented a comprehensive and varied flooring system.
You can choose from a selection of floor styles and use many colours to make each compound room unique to you. Do you want your bathrooms to have bright yellow carpet, go for it! It might help cover up any stains 😱
Improved item spacing
We have also fine-tuned the object placement spacing. When it comes to planning your compound, you can now place your objects on a more compact grid, (32px instead of 64px)
This means you can be more precise with your room layouts, make better use of the space and fill rooms more efficiently to improve their prestige rating!
We are looking forward to the game launching V1.0 on November 3rd and have more features lined up and ready for the update! In case you missed it, here is the Latest roadmap

Feast your eyes upon its glory and bask in its light!
Difficulty Settings
Community feedback that we have received during Early Access has been that the balance and difficulty of the game has required some tweaking. We have listened to these issues some players have raised and implemented a fully customisable Difficulty Settings screen! 🔧
The Difficulty settings screen will be available when you start a new game during the Cult Customisation screen, and can also be found at any time during gameplay via the Pause menu, so you can adjust the settings mid-game if you find the game too easy, or too difficult.
We still have the standard default option available as before, aswell as a more relaxed option to make things like resource gathering slightly faster, research progress faster, items cost less, cultist's moods easier to manage and increase the rate that Heat cools down. 🔥
We also have introduced a harder setting too, for players who desire more of a challenge in their cult management, which will make Heat decrease slower, research takes longer and gives items a higher purchase cost and makes missions slightly harder.
Sandbox Playstyle
You can also go for a more Sandbox playstyle, by adjusting the sliders manually on the Custom setting and ticking the boxes to automatically unlock all the Research items, Divine Inspiration options and all additional game items 🔓
Again, with the Custom difficulty mode, you can tailor all of these options to your personal preference, so have resource generation be a lot faster, while having mission difficulty increased and research speed slower, meaning you can have a totally unique play experience!
As a warning, some of these options will disable the ability to unlock Steam achievements! The game will warn you before this happens. ⚠
Loading Screen tips
We have also implemented little hints and tips on the loading screens, so keep your eyes peeled for insider Cult Leading knowledge! 🧠
We are looking forward to the game launching V1.0 on November 3rd and have more features lined up ready for the update! In case you missed it, here is the Latest roadmap 🗺

Dear faithful followers! Our dearest leader, Burt Biscuit has reached out to us to let us know that we have reached the first birthday of our Early Access launch of Honey, I Joined A Cult! 🎂
To celebrate, we are honoured to reveal to you the date that Burt has chosen for the game to enter its full launch and v1.0 version!
Your cult mandated announcement trailer is here:
Honey, I Joined A Cult will be launching version 1.0 on November 3rd, 2022!
During Steam Early Access, Honey, I Joined a Cult has launched three major content updates that expand the variety of cults and significantly expanded game mechanics. Most recently, 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.
You can also see our next steps on our path to enlightenment, influence and cash via our newly updated Early Access Roadmap!
As you can see, we've got a lot planned for the next update and we've taken on plenty of community feedback and look forward to seeing your thoughts on the upcoming changes and additions!
Exploit your followers: Strange and exciting quack therapies offer great opportunities to extract cash from the gullible.
Take full control of a funky cult: Recruit cultists to maintain the organisation’s smooth operation; keep them entertained and happy to grow your money and influence.
Build ‘freaky deaky’ bases: Build the cult from the ground up and design the layout from ‘hypno-chambers’ and bathrooms to monoliths and bedrooms.
Branch out into the community: Send minions out to spread the good word, or just get them to steal fancy items for your cult HQ.
Stick it to ‘The Man’: Overcome threats from law enforcement, oppressive government bodies, and misinformed protesters.
Get down with deities: Choose where your cult’s heading – world peace or the second coming of the Squid Lord?
