Cult Success Secrets Hc

Cult Leader Success Secrets is a HyperCard interactive novella and shareware comedy by John Freemyer, framed as a how-to guide for aspiring messiahs. The stack mixes mock self-help instruction with quiz games and satirical mini-tools touching on religion, UFOs, psychics, advertising, politics, and brainwashing.

Premise

The pitch is deliberately over-the-top: do you have the brashness to lead "an army of human sheep in a religion of your own making" and rake in millions from devotees willing to die for you? The stack treats that as a serious career question and walks you through it.

The Psychic Tutorial

A built-in fortune-telling tool offers more than 1,200 generated psychic readings at the click of a mouse, paired with instructions on using vague predictions to control other people - a parody of cold-reading techniques.

Goodness Killer and Cult Quiz

Other set pieces include the Goodness Killer (a target-shoot at Trust, Fairness, Charity, and Truth) and the Cult Quiz, which scores whether you are destined to grovel as a follower or run the show yourself.
