LEAD the CULT OF CTHULHU.

Decide the fate of your followers, perform eldritch rituals, and master the art of city-building in a world where the line between sanity and madness blurs.

Can you endure the horrors you unleash?

You are not a harbinger of destruction; but a herald of cosmic rebirth. Your purpose is not to sow chaos, but to embrace the inevitable evolution that awaits us all.
Humanity is insignificant, pitiful in its smallness. Our existence is a fleeting whisper in the cosmic winds, and only by awakening Cthulhu can we transcend our feeble existence.
In one profound act, you can shake the foundations of the universe.
Awaken Cthulhu, for in his awakening lies the catalyst for a cascading effect that will reshape the cosmos and a new order shall emerge.
The path ahead is treacherous, fraught with challenges. Yet, it is the only path worth treading. Forge a destiny that transcends the mundane!

Publisher Crytivo and game studio Crazy Goat Games announced that Worshippers Of Cthulhu will be leaving Steam Early Access and launch in v1.0 on May 22, 2025.
