Dark-comedy survival game Join Us coming later this year
Dark-comedy survival game Join Us will arrive later this year.
Announced yesterday, Wolf Haus Games announced the game is slated for a fall 2026 release. An exact release date will be unveiled soon. A new trailer can be seen here.
A synopsis for Join Us reads:
In JOIN US, players (and their friends if playing in co-op), are devout members of a doomsday cult, sent to establish a new chapter in a fictional rural US county. While you must heed the wise words of The Leader, this “franchise” is yours to command and shape as you please. Players can inhabit any member of the cult at any time, so there is not a single protagonist - instead an omnipresent antagonist drives the narrative. You are free to explore the open world as you recruit followers, design your own belief system, and scale a compound to accommodate your growing ‘family.’ Locals will not take kindly to outsiders, so you’ll be forced to protect your flock… by any means necessary (including but not limited to flamethrowers and battle-pigs).
With the apocalypse just around the corner, you’ll want your compound to be well-stocked with the essentials: food, supplies, and ammo. But your most important resource is your followers. After all, a cult leader with no followers is just a lonely weirdo. Get the word out with propaganda and you’ll be able to recruit lost souls to a better life. As your forces grow, so will your infamy; take the fight against non-believers to their doorstep and you can capture and extend your cult’s footprint.
Join Us can be wishlisted on Steam and Epic Games Store right now.
