Hola!
Thanks for playing and for calling out that bug~! We'll go ahead and take a look at that bizarre civilian kill score issue you ran into. Wondering if maybe it got confused and counted those civilians as cultists (we have a feature in the game where the cultists convert the civilians into fellow members of their club).
Regardless, thank you so much for playing! And also, glad to hear about your excitement with the cosmic horror of the three-dimensional meat. We are big horror buffs so we are glad to see people making the connection.
