Dallas, Texas, United States — Publisher Crytivo, in partnership with indie studio Crazy Goat Games, is thrilled to announce the full 1.0 release of the dark city-building strategy game Worshippers of Cthulhu, launching TODAY May 22, 2025, on Steam. In celebration, a brand-new release date trailer is live, and players can take advantage of a 20% launch discount
In Worshippers of Cthulhu, you are tasked with leading a cult dedicated to awakening Cthulhu. Your journey begins by establishing and managing cities across multiple islands. Efficient resource management and strategic decisions are key. Perform dark rituals to gain supernatural powers and explore mysterious lands for hidden resources. Conquer territories while deciding the fate of non-believers—convert or sacrifice them. Balance Cthulhu’s Patience with your cult’s Fanaticism to ensure survival and dominance in a constantly evolving environment.
