Strangely, only Eide wears a miner's helmet despite the entire group sharing a connection to the coal mine. ![]() All of the members are wearing the same cloaked outfit. There, they witness the gruesome scene of the Cult members gathered around one of their members, Lurv, who is laying on the ground, pleading for mercy because of his mistakes, such as leaving the arm in front of the Clik-Clak. The Cult serves as the unknown antagonist of the game up till when Mae and the band go to the abandoned mine. The cult's callous torture and sacrifice of fellow member Lurv shows off just how quickly they are capable of bending their own rules on who is deemed sacrificial Lurv was not a member of society that one would forget, as he had a wife and children who depended on him. These are the same types of individuals they describe as non-contributors to their society. In describing the individuals they deem sacrificial, the cult wears their bias on clear their sleeves describing those who are 'Lazy', immigrants who 'steal jobs', and those who they deem "forgetful", the cult shows who THEY feel aren't of 'use' to Possum Springs. They believe the sacrifices are needed to keep the town from disappearing, and from the government outsourcing jobs, or by immigrants who migrate to Possum Springs for job opportunities. The cult believes that sacrifices will keep Possum Springs, and in turn the status quo, from changing from losing it's jobs opportunities, from keeping it's citizens from leaving. With how they describe those who they sacrifice, and their values, the cult itself seems to lean towards that of right-wing Conservatism a social, cultural, and political philosophy that primarily aims to preserve and promote traditional values and institutions, And mirror the talking points of the alternative right. Their political beliefs, however, are the most laid bare. The cult seems to worship a being closely based off an "Outer god" from the Cthulhu mythos named Shub-Niggurath, also known as "The Black Goat of the Woods with a Thousand Young Ones", from the paranormal aspects of the Black Goat, to the barbaric blood sacrifices for luck and fertility is further supporting this theory. It appears to have a theology similar to the godhead of the old country from which Mae's grandfather tells stories from. Eventually, Ed Skudder "heard the song" of this god, and was compelled to bring others to follow it. They tried turning to the Church for answers, but they felt unfulfilled. The older people of the town were saddened at this. It was apparently started when people began to abandon the city. The Night in the Woods development team clarified via Twitter that the new Weird Autumn content has a high risk of breaking saves for the base game, so players are encouraged to either turn off auto-updates on their platform of choice and finish up their current save, or simply start a new save file if they want to immidiatly experience the Weird Autumn additions.The cult has a belief system based on the worship of the chthonic Black Goat. Perhaps the most substantial difference between the base Night in the Woods game and the Weird Autumn version is that the two previously-released side adventures Longest Night and Lost Constellation, adventures which were offered as standalone experiences to Night in the Woods’ Kickstarter backers, have now been integrated into the core game, giving all players a chance to experience them.
