Wolf Haus Games Unveils Dark Satirical Game JOIN US

In a dramatic reveal at the PC Gaming Show Tokyo Direct, Montreal's independent game development studio, Wolf Haus Games, announced their newest venture: JOIN US, a darkly satirical survival game. Set against the backdrop of an approaching apocalypse, JOIN US offers players the unique opportunity to establish and lead their own doomsday cult. With a compelling narrative that intertwines with player decisions, the game promises a rich and immersive experience.

A Unique Gaming Experience

Breaking new ground in the gaming landscape, JOIN US merges a robust game loop with innovative mechanics, inviting players to design their cult’s belief system and recruit followers. The narrative adapts dynamically to the choices players make, offering both single-player and multiplayer modes. As players are tasked with forming a new cult chapter in the rural Bedford County, USA, they can expect to encounter resistance from local communities.

Wolf Haus Games, a team with more than 150 years of combined film, music video, and AAA game experience, channels their collective passion for grindhouse cinema and dark humor into this debut title. Their expertise ensures that JOIN US delivers an experience that is both engaging and thought-provoking.

Dynamic Gameplay Elements

Players begin as devout cult members, given control over the narrative and the future of their growing “family.” Exploring open-world environments, recruiting followers, constructing compounds, and developing survival strategies are key components of the gameplay. To prepare for the anticipated apocalypse, players must gather resources, including food, supplies, and ammunition. The most valuable resource, however, is the followers themselves. Through the use of propaganda, players expand their territory and influence, converting non-believers and protecting their compound—sometimes through unconventional means such as using flamethrowers and battle-pigs.

Multiplayer Collaboration

The multiplayer feature allows for collaborative play with up to four players, enhancing the game's dynamics by bringing shared experiences into the narrative. This co-op mode encourages strategic planning and resource management among players, deepening their engagement with the story and the game world.

Set for a 2026 release on PC, JOIN US beckons gamers into a world where creativity and strategy meet the unpredictability of human psychology and group dynamics, making it a must-watch title in the coming year. Wolf Haus Games invites players to play “The Leader” and take on the bold challenge of shaping their own dystopian future.
