Path to the Occult

Path to the Occult is an RPG where players establish their own cult, spreading their heretical beliefs to citizens in various towns to gather enough faith to summon the legendary Great Demon. As the game progresses, players will face suppression and pursuit from traditional cults. Players must use their charisma and wisdom to satisfy the desires of their followers, unlocking various exciting scenes and animations while transforming their desires and faith into power to strengthen their own forces. What are you waiting for? Come and build the most powerful evil cult in the game!

Story of Path to the Occult:

The protagonist, Zero, plans to summon a legendary archdemon to found her own cult.

With the help of demonic power, she will convert the faith and desires of her followers into strength to build the ultimate evil cult.

However, the most efficient way to collect faith and desire turns out to be... satisfying people's sexual desires?

To expand her influence, Zero will travel to various towns, change into outfits that fit the local culture, and work hard to recruit followers.

But the mainstream religions certainly won't stand by and watch her grow—obstruction, investigation, and suppression follow one after another.

What kind of obstacles will Zero encounter?

And what methods will she choose to make her follower count skyrocket?

A lighthearted and erotic Faith-collecting RPG begins now!

Features of Path to the Occult:

Faith-to-Power Conversion: Harvest "Faith" and "Desire" by fulfilling followers’ sexual fantasies—from intimate rituals to public exhibitions. Each act fuels Zero’s demonic abilities, unlocking spells like "Pleasure Bind" to entrap rivals or "Ecstatic Aura" to boost conversion rates.

Strategic Follower Management: Assign followers to roles like "Temptress Scouts" (gather intel on rival factions) or "Desire Catalysts" (amplify faith generation). Neglect their needs, and loyalty wanes—triggering rebellions or defections to mainstream religions.

Archdemon Pact Progression: Sacrifice collected faith to your patron demon via escalating rituals. Early tiers grant charm buffs; late-game unlocks let you warp reality—e.g., rewriting a town’s morals to normalize public orgies.

Localized Outfit System: Blend into each town’s culture with 6+ region-specific outfits (e.g., conservative veils for pious districts or revealing silks in pleasure hubs). Outfits aren’t transferable—forcing tactical wardrobe choices that affect NPC trust and event triggers.

Faith-Driven Unlocks: Spend "Faiths" to unlock new cities and elemental abilities (fire/water/etc.), not boss defeats. Elements counter specific regions—e.g., water magic dominates desert towns but falters in volcanic zones. Choose progression order wisely.

Dynamic Event Web: Complete quests like "Seduce the Mayor" or "Sabotage Holy Wells" to earn Faiths. Events vanish if bosses remain active—skip a boss fight, and you’ll miss lucrative storylines but avoid crackdowns.

Changelog:

Here’s another update on the game’s development progress.

All Yao's event has been completed.There are a total of 30 h scenes for Reiko and 7 for Yao,so the initial release of the game will include 37 h scenes in total.There will also be a future update that adds even more content.We can’t say for sure how many new events will be added yet,but there will be at least 6 extra events planned for the update.Also, during development I’ve been thinking a lot about the game’s difficulty.We want players to be able to enjoy the story and finish the game smoothly,even if it ends up being a bit challenging or if they mainly just want to see the events.That’s why we designed it so that players can keep upgrading their characters as long as they gather enough resources,and the more h battle you trigger, the faster you’ll grow stronger!That said, We’ve also been keeping an eye on player feedback and gaming trends.This time, We will be adjusting the system a bit so players can choose their own preferred difficulty level,based on how much time or challenge they want from the game.

The game’s modes can roughly be divided into a few different playstyles:

1.We’ve never really designed virgin-event before, but I know some players enjoy beating the game without sex.So this time, I’ve added a few new ways to earn resources outside of combat —some of which can actually be just as efficient as H attack.It’s still considered a more challenging playstyle overall,but I hope these non-combat resource options can help reduce the repetitive grind a bit.

2.For players who enjoy leveling up quickly through H event, things will feel familiar — just like in the previous two games.By taking on various H events several times, you can earn plenty of resources.In the mid to late stages, once your Arousal gets high enough,you’ll unlock several special skills that let you clear out weaker enemies fast or boost your stats efficiently.Overall, the difficulty is about the same as before,though using those special skills will make things a bit easier.

3.Some players like leveling up through H event but still want an easier time defeating each boss.Normally, that means triggering event frequently before every boss battle,which can feel like a waste of time for players who don’t enjoy farming,are busy, or mainly just want to experience the story.So this time, We’ve added a way to directly unlock Arousal caps and special skills,letting you power up extremely fast and enjoy the main story without stress.

4.And for players who only want to enjoy the story,you’ll be able to access the Gallery right after finishing the prologue by visiting the Memory Room.Lately, more and more games let you unlock a full gallery right from the start,and even when they don’t, many story-focused players end up looking online for modified save files anyway.So We decided to just include the feature from the beginning, no need to download anything extra.That’s about it for this progress update and the plans going forward.From here on, We'll be focusing fully on the story and map creation.Unless there are major system changes, the next progress report might take a while to come out.

Player Comments of Path to the Occult:

I really enjoyed this devs previous game (Goddess Fox) and when i saw this one come out of nowhere i got hyped, this one is 100% a upgrade at art, animation and the MC design is more of my taste, but now...This game is a downgrade on everything else i think, the dev for some reason decided to make this "non-linear" allowing you to go to any city in any order but that ended up only making the game worse because all the character interaction that the first game had are absent in this game, being linear and having the characters/bosses re-appear on later cities or at base after progress with new scenes would have been MUCH better than just the almost non existent Zero and Yao talks, fox goddess just had a much better overall dynamic with the Fox, Luna and the NPCs...

This is from the same dev who gave us the Lusty Goddess Fox, and anyone who knows that knows what they are in for with this game.

For those unfamiliar with the dev's preferences; expect 90% male or humanoid at least, and half of that being con-non-con.Multiple outfits, multiple hairstyles, multiple characters, all wrapped up in a surprisingly tactical battle-fuck sandbox where you can decide on the elements and fighting style you wish to specialise in.If there was ever a game to earn your time, it's one like this.- Engaging combat- Surprisingly funny story (watch the intro, it's actually quite funny seeing the girl offer up her soul and a true warlock contract only for the archdemon to be like "holy shit...dude...that's like...a real raw deal for you?")- Animated scenes- Massive scene and pose variety with multiple stages and clothing tiers.- Fully voice acted by not 1 but 3 different voice actresses to choose from.- Uncensored.

I kind of want the main character, Reiko, to be able to become a neko... Been looking for games with a kemonomimi main character.Like after seeing some males chase after a cat, she decides to ask Yao about it, unlocking a crystal which lets you spend 2000 faith to become a neko(adds 1.5x faith gain from lewd scenes) with the features showing up in all scenes(dialog, in map, and lewd ones)...I know this is quite hard to add to the game though.
