Honey, I Joined a Cult vs Turmoil
Honey, I Joined a Cult
Honey, I Joined a Cult is a whimsical cult simulation/management game where you play as the cult leader supreme managing your very own “startup cult”. The goal here is to set up your own cult compound, recruit as many cultists to your divine cause as you can, all the while making sure you’re profiting off every follower you get and avoiding scrutiny from the authorities.To be honest though, Honey, I Joined a Cult isn’t exactly a game where you joined a cult but instead puts you into the shoes of the leader of one. The game is very similar to Prison Architect so if you’ve enjoyed the latter, you’ll definitely love playing this game. It’s funny and the management part of the gameplay is fun to play. So, if you’ve always envisioned yourself leading a cult, you might want to give this game a try! After all, what could go wrong?
Turmoil
Turmoil , developed by Gamious, is a tycoon-like simulation game where you play as one of four oil miners, all of which are hoping to get rich on what is supposedly "black gold". This game offers a charming yet humorous take on the 19th century oil rush in North American in addition to letting players participate in this momentous period of time. Bid against other entrepreneurs for land that potentially contain enough oil for you to strike it rich, dowse for oil deposits and build oil rigs to mine them. There are also two companies you can sell all the oil to, and depending on the prices they offer, it's best to choose the most profitable time to sell.Of course, as you drill for and sell oil, the money you spend in town will help it develop and grow. In return, you can grab a ton of beneficial upgrades for a price, which, in turn, will help you earn even more money. Eventually, you can even buy town stocks and try your luck at becoming the mayor!
In addition to being incredibly addictive to play, Turmoil is a game that perfectly embodies the crazed mentality of the oil rush back then (and perhaps even now). Granted at not all game mechanics are realistic - it is a game after all, but if you love tycoon-like simulation games, you'll definitely enjoy playing this one.
