Cult Vacui is a point-and-click with survival horror elements.

Set in the late 19th century on the remote island of Barra in Scotland.
We play an unsuspecting janitor who has been given a job opportunity to maintain the Gladstone family's summer estate. 

What we discover is that the day before our arrival, a gruesome blood ritual was performed on the island's population at the hands of a creepy cult...



Our arrival has ruined their ritual, which can only be considered concluded if every person in the perimeter of the island is eliminated. Apparently we are their final obstacle-at least that is what we believe...

We have a few hours to prepare for the last act of their insane ritual, Prepare a strategy to defend ourselves against the cultists and (hopefully) survive.



In Cult Vacui every choice counts, every  actions takes time that will subtract from the final act countdown, find the right strategy to maximize your efforts (even across multiple game sessions).

  • eerie horror atmosphere

Awesome game! The main battle was intense. This was my introduction to this type of point and click game (with the time limit thingy) and I'm def gonna try out similar titles. The setting is an absolute nightmare, in a good way, and I like how you've put thought into the cult's evil nihilistic philosophy.

The graphics are well executed and fit the bleak setting. A game to remember this year!

Love first person point and click adventures! Looks great so far.

Only thing is that it definitely could do with some proof reading for the English text.

It was a really amazing demo. I'm looking forward to the full release! 

Quality content. Better wake up the dead for this one.

Nice atmosphere.

Tried briefly but it seems promising.

In the Italian translation "CONTUNIA" appears instead of "CONTINUA" during the instructions.

Ciao Alessio, si, sono venuti fuori un pò di bug!
Ci sto lavorando, grazie
