Ready to embrace your inner cult leader? The eagerly anticipated Pikmin-inspired roguelike Worship just dropped a devilishly entertaining gameplay video titled The Field Guide to Blood Sacrifice, and it’s everything you’d expect from a game where blood is currency and eldritch gods demand devotion. And a lot of blood. Like, a lot, a lot.
Coming to PC and consoles next year, Worship looks like it’s shaping up to be the horror game of our nightmares, but in a fun, can’t-wait-to-sacrifice-my-followers way.
How to Cult Leader 101
The new gameplay video is a crash course in everything you’ll need to know to run your cult smoothly – from rituals and base-building to slaying heretics. Your first task? Get yourself some followers. Once you’ve converted them to your cause, it’s time to spread your influence and power. You’ll do that by making offerings, solving puzzles, and, of course, slaying enemies.
One of the intriguing mechanics is the blood-ritual system. You can draw these powerful symbols using your own blood – or your followers. Oop.
Co-Op Chaos
If solo cult-building sounds like a lot, Worship has you covered. The game supports up to four-player co-op, meaning you and your mates can join forces to bring about the apocalypse. What’s the end of the world if you can’t enjoy it with friends? The more followers, the merrier – and with each player bringing their unique chaos, things are bound to get delightfully messy.
Blasphemous Fun Ahead
At its core, Worship is a mix of strategy, horror, and dark humour, with an art style that’s both charming and grotesque. If you’re into creepy cults, sacrificing normies, and a bit of blasphemous fun, this might just be your new favourite game.
