Indie developer Crazy Goat Games' Worshippers of Cthulhu is currently the top Steam Next Fest demo in its genre, as well as the top city-builder demo on Steam overall. Based on the game's description, I can see why. The possessed colony sim might be the spookiest in existence.
It appears to follow the blackened footsteps of — if you'll excuse me — cult-classic horror games like Cult of the Lamb and Cultist Simulator in imagining fringe religious activity as a source of mouthwatering power. Though Worshippers of Cthulhu looks like an unconventional city builder in how willing it is to be at once bleak and celestial, its premise melds well with standard city builder goals, like acquiring land and authority.
