Cultist Simulator Is Free on Epic Games Store Mobile This Week

Epic Games Store is back with another weekly giveaway, and this time, it’s handing out Cultist Simulator—a unique and mysterious card-based roguelike—for free on mobile platforms.

From June 26 to July 3, 2025, Cultist Simulator is available at no cost through the Epic Games Store mobile app. Android users around the world can grab the game, while iOS users in the European Union are also eligible to claim it.

A Roguelike Like No Other

Developed by indie studio Weather Factory, Cultist Simulator is not your average card game. It plunges you into a strange world of hidden gods, forbidden rituals, and eldritch secrets, with minimal guidance. The game skips tutorials entirely—players are expected to learn through experimentation, deduction, and often, failure.

You begin with just a few cards and a cryptic interface. Through trial and error, you’ll discover how to mix these cards to unlock new elements of the story. These combinations can spark everything from gaining knowledge and resources, to triggering cult rituals or spiritual summonings. Each run tells a different tale, shaped by the decisions you make and the cards you play.

A Story Told in Cards

Set in a shadowy, alternate 1920s, Cultist Simulator evokes the unsettling world of H.P. Lovecraft and other cosmic horror fiction. You start off as an anonymous character, drawn toward the occult and desperate to uncover ancient truths. As the game unfolds, you’ll recruit followers, conduct dark experiments, explore dream realms, and pursue immortality. But beware—pushing too far into the unknown may cost you your sanity.

The entire experience unfolds across a virtual tabletop, but don’t be fooled by its minimalist look. The depth of its mechanics and narrative runs deep, and each session offers new paths, discoveries, and sometimes—grisly endings.

Claim It While You Can

Cultist Simulator normally comes with a price tag, but for this week only, you can grab it for free. To download the game, simply head to the Epic Games Store mobile app, search for Cultist Simulator, and claim it before July 3. Once redeemed, it’s yours to keep forever.

Whether you’re a fan of roguelikes, love cryptic storytelling, or just want to try something outside the mainstream, Cultist Simulator is worth adding to your mobile collection—especially while it’s free.
