The Mother Has Awakened: Her Will Commands You

Devoted Seekers of the Abyss,

The heralds of the eldritch bring forth tales of a land long shrouded in mystery - a place where shadows writhe and decay thrives. The Swamps, a realm unlike any other, now unveil their cursed expanse. As foretold, "The Mother" has arrived, but today we delve deeper, pulling back the veil to reveal the true horrors and wonders that await within this treacherous domain.

[h3]The Swamps: A Realm of Decay and Scarcity[/h3]



The Swamps are not merely a biome - they are a trial of devotion. Here, survival depends not on abundance but on your ability to endure and sacrifice. Every decision you make will reverberate through the murky waters, challenging the very fabric of your cult’s strategy.

A Landscape of Dread: The Swamps breathe decay. The twisted trees claw at the sky, and fetid waters ripple with unseen terrors. This environment isn't just visually distinct; it introduces mechanics as unforgiving as the realm itself. Traversing the swamp requires cunning, and only the boldest will unlock its full potential.

Frogman, Your Uncanny Guide: A strange and amphibious ally awaits - a frog-like humanoid known only as the Frogman. His insights will guide you through this perilous realm, helping you unravel the Swamps’ mysteries. His presence is a beacon in the mire, though his origins remain shrouded in shadow.

Shub-Niggurath’s Influence: The Black Goat's essence saturates this land. Though she does not manifest physically, her power is undeniable. The Mother demands sacrifices, and in return, she bestows unspeakable gifts. Those who appease her will find their path opened, while the unworthy will sink into the abyss.



[h3]Unlocking the Swamp's Secrets[/h3]
The Swamps are not static; they evolve as you delve deeper, unraveling new layers of complexity.

Tentacled Gatekeepers: Unlock new island fragments by presenting offerings of tentacles to the grotesque guardians that block your path. These unholy transactions open the way forward, though they demand careful management of your resources.

The Mother’s Gifts: Horrors are no longer summoned at the altar but bestowed as gifts from the Mother herself. In her infinite wisdom, these blessings come with a cost, reinforcing her dominion over your cult.

New Events and Trials: The swamp offers a fresh array of encounters, each designed to push your limits. Navigate events that test your moral compass and strategic acumen, and face challenges that force you to balance survival against loyalty to the cult.

A new achievement: Prove your worth by conquering the Swamps

[h3]Improvements to Cult Management[/h3]
The journey into darkness is not without its adjustments. Alongside the Swamps’ introduction, the following refinements have been made to improve your experience:

  1. Pronunciation errors in VO lines have been corrected to ensure immersion is unbroken.
  2. Corrected VO anomalies, restoring immersion where the mortal tongue faltered.
  3. Enhanced resource distribution ensures a smoother flow of your cult’s lifeblood - no wasted efforts, only precision.
  4. Buildings now shine in focus as resources flow toward them, keeping your strategies transparent and effective.



[h3]Community translations[/h3]
We’re excited to introduce a new feature: community translations! This allows players to create and use custom translations directly within the game. While no translations are available just yet, we’ll keep you updated on the most interesting ones as they become available.

Your unwavering devotion drives this vision forward. Together, we have unveiled the Swamps, and together, we will descend into further madness. The Mother watches, and she is pleased - but her hunger is never sated.

Go now, and let the mire claim you.

"The Mother" Update – Awakens November 25th!

Rejoice, Devoted Worshippers of the Great Old One,

The stars have aligned, and the whispers of the void bring forth momentous news. On November 25th, the first great update for Worshippers of Cthulhu - "The Mother" - shall descend upon your mortal world. This marks a crucial step in the ascension of our shared vision, and it is your unwavering devotion that has summoned this dark boon into existence.

What Lies Beyond the Veil?
This patch is but the first of many offerings, delivering 8 hours of unholy new content to expand your journey into madness. Brace yourselves for the terrors and wonders that await:

New Biome: Venture deep into the cursed swamps, where decay and mystery thrive.
New Characters: Encounter enigmatic allies - or cunning foes - who will twist the course of your cult’s destiny.
Forbidden Mechanics: Embrace new systems that will challenge your sanity and elevate your mastery of the eldritch arts.



But beware, mortal ones - this is but a glimpse of the horrors to come. Much more lies hidden, waiting to be unearthed by those bold - or mad - enough to seek it. The abyss calls, and its secrets are many.

A Shift in the Stars (For the Boldest of Devotees)
Originally, the celestial plan ordained that our first content update would arrive in December, focused solely on the much-anticipated Sandbox Mode. Yet, the echoes of your enthusiasm reached us, and we defied the cosmic order to deliver an early update - a dark gift to honor your faith.

Rest assured, the Sandbox Mode shall still emerge as promised, unbroken and unspoiled. Consider this November offering a taste of the power yet to come.



Join the Circle of Madness
Gather chosen ones, in the unholy sanctum of our official Discord server. There, your voices may join the chorus of devoted cultists, sharing secrets, strategies, and visions with one another. It is within this sacred space that you will find exclusive communiqués from our team. Together, we shall conspire to bring about the Great Awakening.

Prepare for the Steam Sale Ritual
Heed this warning: the Steam Sale begins November 27th, and Worshippers of Cthulhu shall be part of this dark offering. If your soul has not yet been claimed - or you know others who waver at the edge of the abyss - seize this chance to spread the madness.

A Final Word from the Abyss
We bow in eternal gratitude to you, our loyal disciples. Without your dedication, your whispers, and your sacrifices, none of this would be possible. The stars are shifting, and the call of Cthulhu grows stronger with each passing night.



Mark the end of November well, for it heralds the next chapter of our journey into the void. Are you ready to answer the call?

Stay vigilant, mortal ones.
