<p>Worship’s demo is available exclusively on <a href="√">Steam</a> and is part of the Save & Sound Festival, an online event that showcases game demos and discounts. Other titles showcased in the event were <a href="https://whatoplay.com/games/buckshot-roulette/">Buckshot Roulette</a>, <a href="https://whatoplay.com/games/tiny-glade/">Tiny Glade</a>, and <a href="https://whatoplay.com/games/a-short-hike/">A Short Hike</a>, one of <a href="https://whatoplay.com/switch/best/">the best games on Switch</a> right now.</p> 

<p>The demo provides a one-hour preview of Worship, with single-player as its only available option yet. However, upon the game’s official release, up to four players will be able to join in cooperative gameplay. Players will have to wait before they unite with friends in their dark pursuits.</p>

<p>Worship’s premise is pretty simple, but highly dubious if applied in the modern age. Players assume the role of a cult leader driven by a singular mission: to gather followers and bring about the end times. They must guide their devoted, bloodthirsty, followers through various tasks designed to appease their Lovecraftian overlords.</p>

<p>Through strategic rituals and unwavering loyalty, followers play a crucial role. They can be used from purging heretics to offering their own blood for strength or aiding in the completion of puzzles. Fans of Nintendo’s Pikmin series will find its ‘follower’ mechanics familiar.</p> 

<p>Despite sharing similarities with Devolver Digital’s Cult of the Lamb, Worship doesn’t exactly follow the same gameplay loop. It does have one obvious connection: making a humorous jab at these questionable cults.</p> 

<p>Worship is now available in demo form on Steam. The full game is slated for release in early 2025.</p>
