  • The preview of the romance options for Cultist Simulator is about what you'd expect if you tried to romance a bunch of cultists:
    Clovette: "Oh darling, I couldn't possibly choose. I like seeing them try to outdo one another too much."
    Saliba: "Romance isn't dead. Romance is just locked very securely in my special room."
    ???: "My partners are many, but they all make the same sounds, after a while. Perhaps you'll be different?"
    The Player: "Neville is 100% definitely the one for you."
  • Each character preview has a chapter title. Ezeem, listed as ??? here, has Cultkiss Stimulator Chapter 7777: Do Not Booty Call That Which You Cannot Unboot.
  • Even as a half-ascended thing that routinely summons demigods to do its bidding, you can leave it all behind because you finally got a corner office at work and in the end, that's all you ever really wanted.
  • The fact that a skilled painter can lock down all their Notoriety by constantly painting works regarding said Notoriety. You're quite literally taunting the Hunters by painting about the very evidence of your occult activities, and they can't do anything about it because it's that public.
  • The cult leader can drive hunters insane with eldritch knowledge or kill them with loyal followers wielding magical knowledge... or use brute strength to snap their neck publically. This is very unlikely to succeed. In the source code this action is called "hunterfitewithswole", or if you have the murder skill, "hunterfitewithextraswole".
  • One treasure available is a horror film STUMM! - an explicitly fictional depiction of real winter lore and a ritual. The fact a silent horror film can give dread is amusing - especially considering what doesn't do so.
  • The fact that one of the Hooded Princes who followed the Thunderskin had the absolute cheek to name himself "Peel".
  • Some of the romance dialog toes the line between sweet and hilarious. Valciene jokes about testing the design tolerances of your bed, Auclair seduces you via chess...
  • Imagine what the actual rumors are if your notoriety actually reaches Glover on the board of directors, and he gives you a warning. It can be anything from ‘mysterious disappearances,’ to ‘vomiting up a full-blown snake, on stage, during strip tease act,’ and beyond.
  • You can get the ascended cultist Teresa Galmier as your Summon, and if you show her a book from her The Locksmith's Dream series, she'll get flustered and autograph it.
    • Speaking of Teresa, while reading Christopher Illopy's Travelling At Night books the player notes that they start to get distracted by the sudden erotic poetry directed to a "Baldomera". Summoning the Baldomerian and seeing it's Teresa makes you realize he was just flirting with her post-ascension through eldritch lore.
  • Just about any Violation of Common Sense that the player can commit in gameplay that would raise notoriety. Such as painting summoned monsters or Teresa Galmier. One can just imagine the suppression bureau's jaw dropping when they see creatures the public shouldn't know about just casually depicted in paintings.
