Will You Be My Disciple? is a choice-driven cult management game shaped by unexpected encounters and characters. The decisions you make in every situation you encounter will determine the fate of your cult.
When you start the game, you don’t choose the faith or the doctrines. They’ve all been decided and handed down to you. Your task isn’t to establish a new order, but to uphold the existing system. Fortunately, Chicken Prime, the symbol of abundance, has chosen you as its emissary. Whether this is an advantage or a burden depends entirely on the decisions you make.
BLESSINGS
Whether your cult survives or slowly crumbles depends on how you manage the sacred values granted to you.
Divine Blessings (Faith, Morality, Secrecy): These three sacred values have been granted directly to you because you have been chosen by the Supreme Chicken Prime, the protector of the world and the very embodiment of abundance. The more these blessings overflow, the more powerful a leader you become. If any one of these three blessings is completely depleted and drops to zero, the Supreme Chicken Prime intervenes to ensure you achieve your divine goals, offering you a final desperate choice to save your cult from destruction.
DISCIPLES AND THE COUNCIL
You must uncover the true intentions, lies behind every innocent face that enters through your sacred door, or solve their problems.
Secret Personalities and Council Seats: The four seats on the Council represent different ideological groups. If you can read the candidates' intentions from their dialogues and seat them in the appropriate seat for their group, your power will multiply; a wrong guess will destroy all your synergy.
Passion and Ideological Conflicts: Members with opposing ideologies will inevitably conflict with each other. They may force concessions from you by threatening to disrupt perfect synergy, provoke a crisis to pressure you into choosing sides, or corner you into sacrificing your loyal friends to ruthless witch hunts.
COURT OF TREASON AND REBELLION
You can’t please everyone, and those whose loyalty has vanished won’t just walk away from the cult.
The Heretics Among Us: Members with low loyalty begin to consume your wealth and authority from within, like ticks.
The Rebellion Court: When the threat of rebellion reaches a critical point, the game stops and the ruthless court begins. There is not a clean way out:
Purification Ritual: Burn your treasury to silence the rebels.
Surrender: Submit; it saves time but doubles the amount they steal.
Scapegoat: Send your most loyal council member to the guillotine with your own hands to quell the rebellion.
THE CITY AND THE EXPANSION
There are territories waiting to be conquered just beyond your doorstep, and rival religions wanting to conquer this city.
Disciples: These are not passive figures merely waiting within the temples of your disciples. They are your emissaries, whom you dispatch never to return, used to spread your faith throughout the neighborhoods and neutralize rival missionaries. When you fully seize control of a district by sacrificing your Disciples, you secure a steady stream of bonus resources for your cult.
Crisis Management: To resolve issues that arise in the regions during the expansion, you must secretly send members with the right skill sets into the field. If they fail the mission, your treasury will be depleted, you will lose followers, and you will fuel the flames of rebellion within.
The Invasion of the Holy Lands: If you set your sights on distant lands and let your rivals take over your home territory, you’ll be left with one desperate choice to survive.
OVER 100 ENDINGS
The decisions you make throughout the game lead you to a unique ending. No one experiences the same apocalypse twice:
Engage in an epic battle against the cosmic horror that brings about the apocalypse, or worship it.
Being lured into an unimaginable, diabolical trap by your most innocent-seeming allies.
Uniting two absurd factions in the thick of battle through an unexpected alliance.
A friend you once sacrificed others for standing before you seeking revenge.
