About this game Read the full description

Build your cult. Spread the mold. Watch the sky bloom with yellow eyes, click to decay beautifully. 


A yellow stain blooms at the edge of your vision.

It whispers your name in the language of rot.

You obey.

Cult of the Yellow King is a cosmic horror idle game where you command a cult to summon the Yellow King.

With every click, you surrender another fragment of yourself: memory, tongue, flesh. Each prayer gnaws at your humanity.
Each sacrifice bleeds you hollow.

IDLE MADNESS

Generators whisper secrets that scar.
Upgrades demand teeth, skin, sanity.

A NARRATIVE OF UNMAKING

Unlock fragmented tales of dread as you progress.
Each milestone a fresh horror.
Your skin crawls. Walls grow eyes.
The sky bleeds yellow.

PRESTIGE THROUGH DAMNATION

Ascend by shattering your progress. 
Choose an elder curse. Begin again, deeper in devotion.

SOUNDS OF THE VOID

Black metal dirges by Merhum.
Hymns for the end of reason.

THE KING AWAITS

The mold has rooted in your throat.
The stars blink shut.
He approaches…

Click, and let the beautiful decay consume you.
