I wouldn't count Folklore in the same vein as like Zack & Wiki due to the fack that the latter has fans so dedicated that they started a campaign to try and sell the game better. True cult games are rare. |
Just a sidenote, the word 'poorly' is not the best term to define a cult game. A cult game does have to sell little, but it doesn't mean the game sold poorly as it all depends in the expectations and game's budget: An indie game might sell little, but still above expectations; And also, another game might sell 1 million copies and still sell poorly. You get my point?
And yeah, it's rare to find true cult games. It needs to have a rabid fanbase, and I can't think of a recent game that has it and sold little. The only game that comes really close to cult status is Sam & Max: Season One, however the game sold alot I believe.
A Vampyre Story
Gray Matter
The Experiment
these 3 might reach cult status, they're PC Adventure games, probably the best genre to do so.
