Occult Research is a unique project in Civilization VI. It is exclusive to the Hermetic Order secret society in the Secret Societies game mode, introduced in the Ethiopia Pack. It becomes available after building a Campus district.
While active, Occult Research converts 15% of the city's 
Production output to 
Gold. When completed, it provides 500 
Science per 
Ley Line within the city (regardless of game speed) and also yields 
Great Scientist, 
Great Engineer and 
Great Merchant points each equal to approximately 16.7% of the Production invested in it (on Standard speed).
Due to the significant amount of 
Great People points this project generates, its cost is almost 4 times more expensive than regular District Projects.
