Faithful Acolytes,

The stars have whispered, and now they scream.
A date has been etched into the void.

On May 22nd, 2025, Worshippers of Cthulhu shall fully awaken. The 1.0 release rises from the depths, no longer bound by Early Access. What was once a whisper in the dark becomes a thunderous call across the cosmos.

But the stars do not mark this moment alone.

Today, a new trailer emerges - etched in shadow, shaped by memory.
A glimpse into the world we've built together, and a single, sacred truth:
The reckoning begins May 22.

With the rising comes:

• A 20% discount during the Lovecraftian Days on Steam
  
• A New Update: The Call of the New Lands

The tide rises, and with it, new depths of power and madness await. This update brings a mysterious new sandbox map, horrifyingly empowered Horrors, and new tools to help your cult rule across the archipelago more efficiently.

This is the final major update of Early Access, a preparation for what lies beyond - but not the end of change. The descent continues.

A fresh sandbox map has emerged, offering new challenges, unique modifiers, and special missions. Strategic experimentation awaits as you expand your dominion across this uncharted realm.

Your Horrors have grown stronger. Cultists with Horror specializations now enhance their summoned monsters, unleashing devastating power upon your enemies.

Some followers are now blessed with Flexible specializations, allowing them to perform efficiently in any building. Your cult’s adaptability has reached new heights.

Command your cult across islands with ease. A new UI panel allows for quick, streamlined transfer of followers between locations, improving mid- and late-game control.

Followers no longer lose their levels when transferred between islands. Their loyalty and power remain intact.

New filtering options allow you to sort, select, and assign cultists more efficiently than ever before.

• Decorative objects now render correctly on lower settings, ensuring that even shadows retain their elegance.
  
• The Dreamspire mission no longer obscures tutorials in Subchapter III, allowing the vision to remain unclouded.
  
• Horror and Festival of Wrath effects now stack properly, allowing the rage of the Old Ones to flow unimpeded.
  
• Reload time and DPS stats for monsters now display accurately when boosted, so you may know the true strength of the unspeakable.
  
• The incorrect icon for the Star’goroth Horror has been replaced - every god deserves its proper face.

What awaits when the 1.0 release descends on May 22?

• Chapter III and Chapter IV bring new environments, challenges, and lore
  
• A new Ceremony, new Ritual, and new Horror rise from the deep
  
• Visual upgrades and polish across the experience
  
• Secrets whispered only to the most faithful

This is not the end. It is the beginning of something far older. The islands stir. The cult hungers. The veil grows thin.
Mark the date, Acolytes.
May 22. Your cult’s reckoning. The world’s unraveling.

Will you rise… or be devoured?

Fixed:
* Festival Altar couldn't be placed on Subchapter III
* Festival of Wrath effect was not fully working for Star'goroth Horror

(no restart needed)

Faithful Acolytes,

The ancient stars align once more. New Subchapter: Forgotten Passage emerges from shadowed depths, unveiling cursed islands, defiled altars, and twisted paths. Prepare your cult - the Archipelago demands sacrifice, cunning, and devotion.

Your devotion will again be tested. Will you brave what awaits?

A New Subchapter - Forgotten Passage is here.
"It is absolutely necessary, for the peace and safety of mankind, that some of earth’s dark, dead corners and unplumbed depths be let alone…" – H.P. Lovecraft, The Call of Cthulhu.

Cursed Islands Resurface
The archipelago, long concealed from mortal eyes, emerges - its islands cursed, its altars defiled. The Sacrifice Altar lies dishonored by unbelievers; reclaiming it is merely the beginning of your trials. Each victory strengthens the resistance of islands yet untouched, each conquest deepening the archipelago’s defiance.

Ancient Roads
Ancient roads now crisscross the Archipelago - permanent, unchangeable routes that quicken your travel and expand your buildings reach. Choose wisely; their permanence may dictate your cult’s fate.

New Horror Emerges
Summon forth a new eldritch terror. Weak alone, it hides quietly in shadows. But beware - its presence empowers nearby horrors, transforming your minions into devastating instruments of chaos.

Decorations Amidst Madness
Even within the abyss, beauty may bloom. Twelve new decorations now allow your cult’s settlement to display a chilling elegance. Is it genuine beauty or simply the comforting illusion of order in a world already lost to madness?

• Gamepad Cursor is locked on-screen - no more accidental slips into the void.
  
• Building menus selection resets to default on reopen, ensuring swift decisions in the heat of ritual.
  
• A new minus button swiftly removes cultists from their workplaces, reducing idle hands and maintaining ruthless efficiency.
  
• A new "Add All" button instantly deposits required ritual offerings, expediting devotion without delay.
  
• Nonblocking cutscenes can now be experienced without camera shake, providing clarity amidst chaos.

• Enhanced Mission Clarity (Subchapter I): The mission description now accurately reflects that four Dreamspire quests are required - truth restored, confusion banished.
  
• Pylon amount modifiers now function as intended, ensuring your decisions carry proper weight within the void.
  
• Cemetery upkeep cost have been rebalanced - honoring the fallen no longer burdens your cult's economy.
  
• Fixed gamepad navigation in ritual menus, ensuring your commands flow smoothly from one dark task to the next.

The Forgotten Archipelago awaits. Conquer its islands, reclaim your altars, and bring glory to the Great Old Ones. Your sacrifices fuel this dark awakening.

The Archipelago calls. It awaits your response.
Will you answer?

Faithful Acolytes,

The time has come. As foretold, the Great Old Ones have delivered their latest offering, reshaping the world in their unfathomable image. Madness Refined patch has arrived, bringing new landscapes, deeper control over your cult’s fate, and countless refinements to smooth your descent into the abyss.

For those who heard the whispers days ago and awaited this moment - the veil has lifted, and the path is open. Step forward. The unknown beckons.

- A New Realm Awaits – A fresh sandbox map set in the marshlands emerges, challenging you to survive in its murky depths. Twisted trees loom, and the land itself resists your dominion. Can you thrive where decay reigns?

- More Control Over Chaos – The sandbox experience expands with multiple new options, allowing you to adjust difficulty, introduce unpredictable challenges, or bend the world to your will. More ways to experiment. More ways to descend into madness.

- Rituals Made Simple – The Carving Ceremony now has an easy mode in addition to a regular one. No need to draw symbols with trembling hands - simply choose your reward, and it shall be granted. The Old Ones care only for devotion.

- No More Waiting Between Rituals – Carving Ceremonies now have separate cooldowns. No longer will one ritual delay another. Work must continue, sacrifices must be made.

The world bends and corrects itself:

• Pure Sandbox I is restored – Resources now appear where they should, and enemy attacks now function properly. You are no longer safe.
  
• Ships now behave as they should, no longer idly passing by as horrors unfold.
  
• Ruin anomalies have been corrected – No more disappearing structures.
  
• Deposits now rest properly on solid ground. No more floating resources - unless the void wills it.
  
• Sacrificial Pile saves in sandbox mode now function as intended.
  
• Polished words – English & Polish text corrections bring clarity to the whispers of the void.
  
• Performance improvements ensure smoother, more stable horrors.

The Great Old Ones have granted us a sacred gift. Steam Badges, Profile Borders, and more community items are now live, marking your devotion in ways beyond the game itself.

🔹 Earn badges simply by playing - proof of your allegiance to the abyss.
🔹 Collect trading cards imbued with eldritch energy.
🔹 Display your mark with Steam profile borders, a testament to your cult’s dedication.

These are not rewards to be bought or begged for. They are earned. Show your devotion, and the void shall recognize you.

The Descent Continues
This is but another step along the path. More whispers will come. More changes will shape your world. The stars continue their slow rotation, and the Great Old Ones remain ever watchful.

The madness deepens. The void calls.

Will you answer?

This is a momentous occasion, a rare privilege granted to few. With these additions, the reach of Worshippers of Cthulhu extends beyond the game itself, allowing you to carry the mark of your devotion across the digital void.

The Descent Begins Soon

The next chapter in our journey unfolds on February 3rd. Prepare yourselves, for the new trials that await will demand both cunning and sacrifice. Whether you shape your path in the new sandbox, embrace the latest challenges, or collect the artifacts, the void beckons, and it does not wait for the hesitant.

The Great Old Ones watch, and they are pleased.
