Tom Has Joined a Cult

Story

Tom has joined a cult. As a fresh initiate, he gets to do the most basic job there is - performing incantations within the summoning circles. Will he manage to provide the cult with a seemingly endless supply of demons, or will he fail and become the next sacrifice?

Objectives

In each level you must fill a number of summoning circles by performing incantations within their boundaries. There is some degree of imprecision allowed, but be careful not to stray too far from the lines, as you will fail the pattern and will need to make up for the lost time!

Controls

  • Movement - Left Mouse Button
  • Incantation - Right Mouse Button / Space
  • Pause Menu - Escape / P

There's also a setting to toggle movement / incantation on button press, if you don't like to hold the buttons down for too long.

Gameplay

In each level you will be presented with several patterns. When the patterns activate (shown by the pattern lighting up), you will have to trace it while performing the incantation. As you do it, a meter inside the pattern will fill up. When it is full, the pattern will be completed. Complete the required amount of patterns to advance to the next level.

Assets

All graphics, sounds and music were made during the compo.
