Virtual Apocalypse: Embrace Doomsday with Cult Sim 'Join Us'

The enigmatic world of cults and doomsday prep is about to hit your screens in a thrilling mix of humor and strategy. With Join Us, the upcoming game from new studio Wolf Haus Games, players can delve into the art of crafting their own doomsday cult. Ever fantasize about leading a group of devoted followers prepping earnestly for the end of days? This innovative game, anticipated for release in 2026, might just be the ticket to your apocalypse-themed adventure.

Cult Leadership: An Irresistible Strategy Game

In Join Us, fulfilled leadership means more than old sermons and solemn chants. It’s a deliciously satirical journey where managing a thriving doomsday cult becomes akin to building a fast-food franchise—each with its unique flavor of belief systems and dedicated members ready to greet the end. This whimsical touch redefines the survival simulator by infusing a quirky, engaging twist to existential dread.

From Compound Construction to Lovecraftian Horrors

Cult management in Join Us isn’t just about organizing prayer circles. You’ll be responsible for constructing a fortified compound, converting eager recruits, and perhaps even some less-than-eager ones, to your cause. The intertwining themes of ridiculous weaponry—think buses with turrets and “battle pigs”—combined with earnest doomsday scenarios like climate nightmares and eldritch horrors, offer an apocalyptic playground perfect for single or cooperative enjoyment. According to Polygon, this unique approach aims to keep players entertained while challenging their strategic wits.

A Century of Experience in Entertainment

Based in Quebec, Wolf Haus Games is a passionate team of 14, boasting over a century and a half of combined experience across various entertainment genres—cinema, music videos, and AAA video games. Their deep appreciation for grindhouse cinema encourages an audacious and polished game design that embraces theatricality.

Preparing for the Fun yet Frightening Future

Slated for a 2026 release on Windows PC, Join Us presents an attractive option for those with a penchant for humor cloaked in chaos and a thirst for the absurd. As the next few years bring anticipation and trepidation in equal measures, this tongue-in-cheek take on the end of the world might just offer (virtual) peace amid real-world unpredictabilities. Gather a few friends or go it alone—your cult awaits.

Stay tuned to see how your apocalyptic planning pans out with Join Us, promising thrills, chuckles, and perhaps a glimpse of the apocalypse wrapped up in digital delight.
