What is kult?

Kult is an action-packed role-playing game set in a dark and mysterious world where the players cannot rely on things being as they seem. It was originally published in Sweden in 1991 by Target Games, and was subsequently released in English by Metropolis Ltd in 1993.

The game is heavily influenced by horror and conspiracy theories, featuring supernatural creatures, secret societies, and a dystopian future. Players usually take on the role of modern-day characters who have been drawn into the world of the supernatural and must unravel the mysteries surrounding them.

One of the unique features of Kult is its portrayal of the human psyche as a battleground between the conscious and the unconscious mind. The game introduces a mechanic called "Mental Balance", which represents a character's psychological stability and can be influenced by the horrors they encounter.

Kult has developed a cult following over the years and has been praised for its complex and immersive setting, as well as its innovative mechanics. The game has spawned several supplements and adaptations, including a video game and a board game.
