Kult (Swedish for "Cult", stylized as KULT) is a contemporary horror role-playing game originally created by Gunilla Jonsson and Michael Petersén with illustrations by Nils Gulliksson, first published in Sweden by Äventyrsspel (later Target Games) in 1991.[1] Kult is notable for its philosophical and religious depth as well as for its mature and controversial content.
The first three English editions were published from 1993–2004 by Metropolis Ltd. In 2018 current licensor Helmgast released the fourth edition, Kult: Divinity Lost, created by Robin Liljenberg and Petter Nallo. This edition updated the setting from the 1990s to the 2010s and was completely rewritten with new art and layout, and a ruleset based on Powered by the Apocalypse. The fourth edition was well received by critics and fans and won two Ennies for Best Writing and Best Cover 2019,[2] and was also nominated for Best Interior Art.
