CULTIC is a retro-inspired horror first-person shooter playable on Mac (via Steam), Windows, Linux and Steam Deck, developed by Jasozz Games and published by 3D Realms. It blends fast-paced shooter combat with atmospheric horror and exploration, drawing clear influence from ’90s boomer shooters like Blood and Duke Nukem 3D while adding its own twisted narrative and modern touches.
In CULTIC, you play as a disgraced detective left for dead who wakes in a nightmare world overrun by fanatical cultists and dark forces. As you progress through story-driven levels — from overgrown forests and eerie asylums to burial grounds and abandoned towns — you’ll fight hordes of enemies with a mid-century arsenal, including pistols, shotguns, TNT and more, while using movement, cover and environmental objects to your advantage. With Chapter One offering several hours of gameplay and a dedicated Survival Mode, and Chapter Two expanding the story and environments further, CULTIC delivers a grim, action-packed experience for fans of retro horror shooters.
The game’s distinct visual style — dithered graphics, limited palette and gritty aesthetics — reinforces its lo-fi horror vibe, while combat rewards both aggressive tactics and thoughtful positioning. CULTIC stands out as a modern retro shooter with horror atmosphere, satisfying gunplay and exploration.
