Kult Rising
Kult Rising is an Survival Game RPG that is split into several Phases that will unveil new types of content and gameplay loops.
Phase I: Backrooms Exploration
Our initial early access release of Kult Rising will primarily be a Backrooms walking simulator, that acts as the prologue of the game. The prologue will show the story of your character, Morgan, waking up in a mysterious research facility, only to discover that the fascility is deep in an endless megastructure of surreal liminal spaces.

Current Levels:
Level 0 - The Yellowrooms - 3 clusters
Level 1 - Habitable Zone - 4 clusters
Level 37 - The Poolrooms - 4 clusters
Level ██ - The Pinkrooms - 2 clusters
Phase 2: Coming Soon
--------------------------------------------------------------------
The Sandbox
The Sandbox currently consists of all of our items and features that are in testing (many of the images for the item's specifically are placeholders and will not be present in the final version of the game).
This includes our weapons system, building system, our items, storage, and crafting, and then our interactables like doors, chairs, and the mounted flare launcher.
Known Issues/Bugs
- Currently if you die and respawn, aiming down sights in third person will stop automatically switching to first person. The temporary fix to this is simply saving and reloading the save.
Controls:
- WASD to move
- "T" to toggle your flashlight
- "F" for interact
- "LAlt" to crouch
-"Tab" for inventory
- "ESC" for pause
Sandbox Controls:
- "V" switch first/third person

Big update coming soon!
Update 0.1.6.2 is out! we've added another cluster to level 1. Read more about it here!
We will have a patch out for the game in the morning fixing some of the major bugs:
- Pause menu will be implemented- broken doors will be fixed- the camera bug when first loading the game will be fixedall of these have been resolved as of Version 0.1.6.21
The first patch is out, all doors are now functioning and there is an error message explaining the bug when you first load in. The pause menu should be fixed by tonight, but it works if you press num pad 4 for now.
