About the Game
Don the robes of a mad cultist who pledges his faith to an eldritch god in exchange for untold powers. Grow your cult base and build monuments to receive unholy blessings and learn new rituals. Embrace your dark side as your cult gradually corrupts the Mortal Realm to plan the arrival of your otherworldly deity.
Command your Flock
To obey the whispers of the Old Ones, you will need an army. Build it by spreading the gospel and converting the godless to your cause. Command your followers through battles and various occult bidding in this pikmin-like mix of real-time strategy, exploration and puzzle solving. Don’t let trivial things like empathy stop you from leading them to certain death.
Draw Blood Rituals
Cast otherworldly spells by drawing blood symbols on the ground. Summon deadly horrors, unleash ghastly projectiles and make toxic frogs rain on your enemies. Your blood is also your ink, but don’t worry too much about it, you are surrounded by followers eager to spill theirs in your place.
Drawing with blood is also key for interacting with various puzzles, shrines and occult ruins you’ll stumble upon during your unholy journey.
End a Living World
Explore a visually unique dark-fantasy living world where four distinct factions wage war. Prepare yourself to face inquisitors of The Last Church, Untamed Akka warriors, witches from the Coven and aberrations from the Unseen Depths. Filled with dark humour and merciless realisations, a grim but equally cute world is waiting for you to end it.
What to Expect
A Pikmin-like mix of RTS, exploration and puzzle solving.
Command an army of devout followers eager to die for the cause.
Draw blood symbols to cast devastating eldritch rituals on the nonbelievers.
Meaningful bosses that can singlehandedly end your cult.
Eldritch prophecies: Worship’s roguelite progression. Complete challenges during your runs to unlock new gods, more power, skins and more!
Vast open areas to explore and corrupt in a world on the verge of collapse.
Flavorful hand drawn animations in a distinctive black and white art style with scattered splashes of color.

Hey!
Players have reported their progression being deleted when switching to another device.
We think we found the root of the issue and we should be able to push a hotfix tomorrow morning to fix this.
Until this is fixed, we've temporarily disabled Steam Cloud sync from Worship to prevent progress loss on your save file. We'll let you know once this is back! Until then, we suggest you only play on one device.
Sorry for the inconvenience!
