The true cultured answer. The game really succeeded at capturing what makes transcendental horror special : the dive into antediluvian secrets to discover what is hiding behind the skin of the world.
The roguelite mechanism is moronic, though - excepted if you accept to take risks and develop your occultist skills directly instead of grinding stats for hours.
I was a fallen london/sunless sea enjoyer, but I couldn't bring myself to finish these Alexis Kennedy games, everything feels so disjointed, like reading a book but with every sentence in a randomized order

brainlet tier religion
the FINAL goal of the gnostic religion is to destroy the world as you know it and the demiurge
for all of the souls in the world to not exist anymore and be absorbed into the pleroma
some gnostics may say they only want to escape reincarnation but this is to feign innocence as they actually hold a deep deep hate for the world and its creator
I have never heard this in my entire life. It sounds like you're misinterpreting or have been given a misinterpretation of gnostic abstention from the world given their cosmology is that we're in a morons lizard cage where they believe everything is spoiled. They didnt have a large hadron collider back in the days gnosticism began so the idea that theyd even think that was possible should be a tell that youre wrong. Yeah they think the creators fricked but above that are two primal sources of divinity you supposedly can come closer too by removing yourself from the didactic nature of earthly experience. Plus the good christians are basically gone. Modern gnostics are just homosexuals who use gnosis and are close to 20th century occult interpretations of christianity. True gnosticism is dead, might as well call yourself an erisian gnostic.
> the FINAL goal of the gnostic religion is to destroy the world
Ahah, no. Gnosticism (and mysteries cults in general) is just a way for upper class people to feel special and justify their privileged social status by spouting crap about having true pneumatic souls or whatever.
Gnosticism has always been succesful when you have a prosperous society and high levels of wealth disparities. It’s copium for the parasitical, non-productive part of the elite class.

The Forgotten City. Easily the best puzzle game I've played
I mean, the ramblings of schizophrenics is usually not very amusing
Psychology is just another system of mysticism, anon.
imagine if humans had trunks wouldn't that be cool
I would do nothing but stay in my room and trunk myself off all day.
Fricking snore. Let me know when your "mysticism" brings government infrastructure to a halt and I don't have to pay taxes or bills.
Mysticism is what's keeping the governments and taxes running.

All SMT games
>sun instead of israelitestar
cowards
Shin Megami Tensei is not afraid of showing the israelitestar. If Atlus didn't add it is because it does not go there.
Which one should I play first ? I only have pc do I’ll probably just emulate
Soul Hackers
SMT1 if you're a real Black person.
Nocturne is a classic.
Soul Hackers is my personal GOAT.
SMTIV is also a good starting point.
Frankly most of them are good starting points, for the most part they're all standalone titles. Just poke around and pick one that interests you.
Strange Journey is good if you want something closer to the classic SMT experience.
Can someone explain me why kids need two videos running at the same time?
Do you have 2+ tabs open at once? It's like that but for phones
But I am not reading both tabs at the same time.

Also, I thought the OP image was an alchemic art piece, not a gnostic one.

Then how the frick did the good christians get persecuted out of existence by the upper class?
and actions. look up the shit the cathars did, or the anatolian murder cults.
the french executed the templars for a reason
Because they were trying to subvert the church. Do you think the french are hated for funny accents?
Echo Night 2: The Lord of Nightmares
The Cosmic Wheel Sisterhood, but be aware that it's a game that was directly consulted by Anita Sarkeesian.
How dare you recommend a game manipulated by that demon.

The Room, one of the best occult games I've seen in the last ten years. It's a four part point and click series with a solid plot.
