WELCOME TO SXL.
SURVIVAL BUILDING \\ IMMERSIVE SIM
Earth's surface has been ravaged. Megacorporations have taken to the skies. The Foundation has retreated within the labyrinth. Choose your allies, build your Kult. Who will you be in this new era?
NULLSEC NEEDS YOU.
Welcome to the world of Sxlaris
Kult Rising is an immersive sim RPG set in the Sxlaris universe, an alternate reality where anomalous SCPs roam freely and megacorporations control the world's governing powers. Dive into a dark sci-fi/fantasy world filled with dungeons to crawl, Backrooms levels and Foundation sites waiting to be explored, and a survival building system to tie it all together.
Live Service Content
The game will be recieving continuous updates for the foreseeable future. This includes new story quests, new game modes, and new side quests. Kult Rising is the main vehicle of delivery for the Sxlaris Universe as a worldbuilding project and as such, will grow continuously as the Universe itself does. This is one of the core design philosophies of the game, with our goal being to create an accurate representation of what we imagine Sxlaris to be.
