About This Game
Help! We Joined a Cult by Accident is an uncensored Ren’Py Engine visual novel developed by Anya Merchant. Featuring full uncensored scenes, branching romantic interactions, and choice-driven storytelling, this latest [v1.0.0-rc.1] release delivers an expanded experience packed with fresh narrative content and visual upgrades.
Storyline & Narrative Premise
Sean Baskin is aimlessly drifting through life with no girlfriend and no real purpose. When Solena, his late father’s longtime partner and the woman who helped raise him, needs a “bonded partner” to claim her invitation to Tidewell, an exclusive island wellness retreat, Sean agrees to pose as her boyfriend.
The cover story is a couple in love. The reality is a remote island, surrendered passports, ridiculous couple’s rites, and a severe lack of privacy. Escaping Tidewell means climbing its ranks, one increasingly sexual relationship building exercise at a time until Sean and Solena can no longer tell where the performance ends.
We Joined a Cult by Accident is an adult dark-comedy hybrid visual novel and match-3 game based on the novel of the same name by author/developer Anya Merchant. AI based tools were used for asset generation, coding, and converting the original book/script to Ren’Py.
