A downloadable game for Linux

This is a prototype, designed and developed for #LinuxGameJam2022

It is unfinished and unbalanced, but I'm sure you'll be able to understand what the gameplay "could be" with more polish.

Game runs in terminal size 80x24. You can have a bigger terminal, but that is the minimum.


Plot

You are a cultist scholar that tries to start a cult, and gather followers to summon the "Winged Horror". The point of the game is to gain 10 followers. It's vaguely inspired by Cultist Simulator.


Keyboard controls

You can move between events using 'arrow keys', or 'j'/'k'. To select an event, you press 'enter' or 'l'.

Install instructions

The prototype is a single binary meant to be run in a 80x24 terminal emulator. You simply launch you terminal, add execute permissions (chmod +x cult) and run it :)

It crashes for unsatisfied requirements, where do i get these libraries?

./cult: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.33' not found (required by ./cult)
./cult: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.32' not found (required by ./cult)
./cult: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.34' not found (required by ./cult)

Hey, I apologize. First time I'm distributing a program written in Rust :)

I've uploaded a statically linked binary, which shouldn't require any libraries. Let me know if it worked please! :)
