Worship Invites the Faithful: Preview the Co-Op Cult-Sim Before It Unleashes Chaos on Steam July 16
Worship, the co-op cult-sim from Chasing Rats Games, is now available in a hands-on preview build for press and creators ahead of its upcoming Steam Early Access launch on July 16. Following a spotlight in the Summer PC Gaming Show and crossing the 100,000 wishlists milestone, Worship is ready to let the faithful (and the skeptical) finally lay hands on its blasphemous blend of real-time unit control, grotesque rituals, and irreverent humor.
Inspired by Pikmin (but rewritten in blood), Worship lets up to four players command hordes of eager cultists in a dark fantasy world where devotion is deadly. Lead your followers into battle, explore corrupted landscapes, and appease the god of your choosing by sacrificing the weak.
The game’s distinct ink-sketch art style mixes absurd charm with unsettling violence, making each moment of mayhem both visually striking and thematically twisted. Whether you’re launching followers into enemies or using them as blood-bags in the name of a forgotten deity, every choice is part of your holy path toward world-ending enlightenment.
About Worship
Worship is a multiplayer game where up to four players team up to spread their faith, grow their cult, and bring on the apocalypse. Inspired by Pikmin, the game puts a twisted spin on real-time unit control, as players use hordes of loyal followers to fight, explore, and-when necessary-be sacrificed in grisly rites to appease their dark deity. With its striking ink-sketch aesthetic and hand-drawn animations, the art direction walks a razor's edge between disturbing and delightful, combining gleeful absurdity with unsettling rituals.
Key Features:
Blood Rites: Draw mystical symbols with blood to cast devastating spells, manipulate your environment, and solve puzzles.
Followers are Everything: Command your faithful to fight, carry, destroy, and die for your cause. Their devotion is absolute… and expendable.
Ever-Changing World: Each run takes place in a procedurally generated map, filled with rival factions, evolving challenges, and divine tests of faith.
Sacrifice With Friends: 1-4 player co-op, online or local, for shared cult chaos. Complete rituals, earn devotion, and prove yourself worthy in boss encounters before summoning your god into the mortal realm through online co-op multiplayer.
Endlessly Replayable: Procedural maps, evolving deities, and randomized powers.
Worship will launch in Early Access on July 16 2025 and is available to wishlist on Steam right now.
