About this game

Among Cultists drops you into a university campus where something ancient is trying to break through, and not everyone at the table wants to stop it. Most of you are Investigators racing to gather clues and unmask the Cultists hiding among you; a few of you are secretly working to summon the horror instead. You'll wander the campus, trigger events, question each other's stories, and vote out anyone whose behavior doesn't add up, all while the clock ticks toward the ritual's completion. Since nobody actually leaves the table when accused, the paranoia just keeps compounding. It plays like a slow-burn horror movie where everyone might be lying, including you.
