KULT: Divinity Lost is a reboot of the highly acclaimed and infamous contemporary horror role-playing game Kult, originally released in 1991. This, the 4th edition of Kult, features a completely new rule-set, and the setting is updated to present day. Escape your nightmares, strike bargains with demons, and try to stay alive in a world full of pain, torture, and death. In KULT: Divinity Lost, the world around us is a lie. Mankind is trapped in an Illusion. We do not see the great citadels of Metropolis towering over our highest skyscrapers. We do not hear the screams from the forgotten cellar where hidden stairs take us to Inferno. We do not smell the blood and burnt flesh from those sacrificed to long forgotten Gods. But some of us see glimpses from beyond the veil. We have this strange feeling that something is not rightthe ramblings of a madman in the subway seems to carry a hidden message, and, when thinking about it, our reclusive neighbor doesnt appear to be completely human when we pass in the hallway. By slowly discovering the truth about our prison, our captors, and our hidden pasts, we can finally awaken from our induced sleep and take control of our destiny.

Un gran juego de rol, muy bien escrito, muy bien producido, con mimo y muchas opciones. Muy inspirador y con muchísimo potencial, pero con un gran trabajo del master y los jugadores para que funcione una campaña, aún más, con el sistema escogido, que da una gran libertad creativa.

Da la impresión de que el juego está muy orientado a campañas abiertas, que dependerán en gran medida de las opciones que los jugadores escojan al crear sus personajes. A partir de ahí el narrador tendrá un importante trabajo de creación de contenidos, de atmósfera y de ritmo por delante.

Definitely not for everyone, but a great edition overall. There are a ton of hooks and all aspects of the Kult mythology are described in painful (eheh) detail.
The PbtA system is a good fit, even if it’s used a bit loosely at times, but frankly this is truly a minor issue for purists.

Warning, some content is quite disturbing even if you know what to expect.
