About Worship
Worship casts you as a deranged cultist who bargains with an eldritch deity, building a growing base of followers and dark monuments. Your blood‑stained rituals let you summon horrors, rain toxic frogs, and unleash ghastly projectiles across a grim yet cute black‑and‑white world.
The game blends real‑time strategy, exploration and puzzle‑solving in a living dark‑fantasy realm where four factions clash. As you corrupt the Mortal Realm, you’ll face inquisitors, warriors, witches and aberrations while unlocking new gods, skins and powers through roguelite progression.
01 / THE GUIDE
Cult Management
You grow your cult by spreading the gospel and converting the godless, turning them into an army that obeys your eldritch whispers. The followers are eager to die for the cause, providing a steady supply of blood for rituals.
Monuments you build grant unholy blessings and unlock new rituals, deepening your influence over the Mortal Realm. Monuments receive unholy blessings and teach new rituals as your cult grows.
- Remember that followers can supply blood for your rituals in your place.
- Balance monument placement to maximize both blessings and the space needed for exploration.
02 / THE GUIDE
Blood Rituals
Drawing blood symbols on the ground lets you cast otherworldly spells, summon horrors, and unleash ghastly projectiles. Your own blood serves as ink, but the followers willingly spill theirs in your stead.
These rituals are also essential for solving puzzles, interacting with shrines and occult ruins throughout the journey.
- Practice the shape of blood symbols in safe areas before confronting enemies.
- Use the abundant follower blood to experiment with different ritual effects.

03 / THE GUIDE
Faction Conflict
Four distinct factions—The Last Church inquisitors, Untamed Akka warriors, Coven witches, and Unseen Depths aberrations—wage war across the living world. Their presence creates varied challenges across the living world.
Each faction brings unique combat styles and obstacles, requiring you to adapt your cult’s tactics and ritual choices to survive their assaults.
- Study each faction’s attack patterns to choose the most effective ritual counters.
- Prioritize corrupting areas controlled by weaker factions to build momentum.
04 / THE GUIDE
Roguelite Progression
Worship features roguelite progression where completing challenges during runs unlocks new gods, powers, skins and more. Each run offers meaningful bosses capable of ending your cult in a single encounter.
The open areas you explore can be corrupted further, and completing challenges during runs unlocks new gods, more power, skins and more.
- Focus on unlocking new gods early to diversify your ritual arsenal.
- Take note of which challenges grant the most useful skins for visual clarity.
05 / THE GUIDE
Art Style & Atmosphere
The game employs hand‑drawn animations in a stark black‑and‑white palette, punctuated by occasional splashes of colour that highlight key elements. This visual approach reinforces the dark‑humour and grim yet cute tone.
The atmospheric design supports puzzle solving and exploration, making each ruin and shrine feel distinct while maintaining a cohesive aesthetic throughout the world.
- Watch for the scattered splashes of colour that highlight key elements.
- Appreciate the contrast between the monochrome backdrop and vivid ritual effects for better visual cues.
