Recently, a player revealed that the author of 'Cultist Simulator' is consulting with lawyers to determine if 'Reverse: 1999' has plagiarized specific in-game terminology. The OP shared an email screenshot (purportedly of legal correspondence), noting that a large portion of the game's atmosphere relies on obscure, proprietary terms. While the OP initially made bold claims, they later moderated their tone, urging the community to remain rational, as it's unclear whether these terms are original to 'Cultist Simulator'.
The community response has been polarized. Some users questioned the legal basis: since 'Cultist Simulator' is originally in English, the Chinese terms are likely products of fan-made localization patches. If they were to sue, would they be claiming copyright over fan translations? Other players countered that 'Reverse: 1999' is heavily marketed on its English voice-acting; if the game's voiced dialogue directly uses proprietary 'Cultist' terms, the legal situation becomes much more serious.
Seasoned observers suggest this may just be a formal 'we are aware of the situation' signal from the developer rather than an imminent lawsuit. Others noted that while terms like 'Sichen' (the Chinese term for 'Hours' in Cultist Sim) immediately ring a bell for fans, distinguishing between shared aesthetic inspiration and actual plagiarism is a gray area in the industry. The debate over ownership of 'esoteric terminology' remains ongoing.
