Let It Consume

Highly addictive Incremental game where you lead a cult. DISCRIPTION FROM THE STORE PAGE: Let It Consume is a short, active incremental game about leading a dark cult. Raise loyal minions, harvest their emotions, and feed your all-consuming idol before it hungers for you. Expand your rituals, unlock dark upgrades, and watch devotion turn into divine power. TWO MODES OF PLAY: Story Mode Challenge Mode Not designed for Keyboard or Controller. Mouse only. There are 10 Achievements. As I write this I am close to earning the one that requires the player to unlock and fully upgrade all abilities in full. I only have two Upgrades left. MISSIONS: Complete these to earn bricks, used to build structures in the Settlement. SETTLEMENT: Each building in the Settlement provides the player with a passive power-up. CASINO: Each Run earns the player a coin, to be used in the Slot Machine. Inserting a single coin grants you a 25% chance of wining a Buff, good for three Runs. Four coins grants a 100% chance of winning a Buff. DEMO: There is Demo for this game. Highly addictive.

Eh.

Hm. 100% in 3 hours (technically 2 if that, as I spent the first hour the game was open fairly distracted by a couple of other things.) I'm having a hard time figuring out whether or not to recommend this. It's definitely an expansion beyond the demo, but functionally not by much. Adds the fear mechanic and the challenge mode, the former of which is another feature, but isn't really a "mechanic" per se. The latter is a mode where you have to "balance your upgrades" but unless I mindlessly nailed it first try, there's absolutely no "balancing" necessary in challenge mode as long as you just.... make the amount of souls/faith required for the upgrade. This is an expansion from the demo in a VERY "yeah, it's all there on paper...." way. Being honest, I can't say the little bit of added material really does anything for me that the demo didn't, other than pad the runtime out an extra ~40 minutes. It's tricky because even a fun lil time waster deserves support, and who knows how well this would've been received if I hadn't played the demo first. But it's $5 for a game I 100% completed in ~2 hours that's a singular game feature away from basically being the demo. I'd say 2 features, bu…

Nice short incremental, worth the the price imo. You can probably 100% it in a few hours.

Good value.

This is simply a super boring idler. Tedious and panifully grindy with no meaningful upgrades (just click any). The story should be somehow interesting, I guess ?
