Demo Now Available for Eldritch Cult Simulator ‘Worship’ [Trailer]
If you remember Chasing Rats Games’ Kickstarter for their Lovecraftian cult simulator Worship back in 2021, you’ll be pleased to know that the project is still very much alive. In fact, Chasing Rats Games has a new hands-on demo available now on Steam (as well as a new trailer) as part of the Save & Sound Festival, with Worship aiming for an “early 2025” release on Steam.
Teeming with an hour of eldritch horrors and sacrificial rites, the demo for Worship casts you as a cult leader, who must gather their devout while converting new souls to their cause to feed the insatiable hunger of the unseen gods. As you grow your following, you will find your jolly followers serve many purposes, all splendidly sinister.
While the demo supports is single-player only, Worship will launch early next year with four-player co-op, inviting you and your chosen cultists to reign together.
Players will purge heretics who stand in their way, using the heretics’ blood to restore their strength, and aid in unravelling puzzles. Finally, kneel at the altar and pray for a Test of Faith. Complete it, and you will bring the world one trembling step closer to the end of days as you gain more power.
