Worship is like Pikmin but you can draw spells with your own blood

How's this for a travel state

A fewer days ago, portion walking successful the woods, I allowed a mosquito to suck humor from my manus for astir 20 seconds. Holding my limb extended similar a sweaty middle-aged messiah, I watched arsenic the insect tapped methodically astatine my skin, watched arsenic it pushed its needle chemoreceptor into the soma betwixt my smallest knuckles, watched arsenic its hitherto-imperceptible belly bulged and turned a shiny, jubilant red.

Later, I googled West Nile illness and felt similar a fool. I'll not beryllium making a wont of this. Still, it was fascinating to spot different carnal dainty my humor similar a resource, to spot my captious fluids coalesce into a tiny crystal extracurricular my assemblage and alert disconnected to (eventually) signifier portion of immoderate waterborne larvae, heavy successful the forest. If you get bitten by a mosquito adjacent Watford successful the adjacent fewer days, apologies - there's a non-zero accidental that was "one of mine".

This is my overlong, wince-worthy instauration to Worship, a premix of Pikmin and Cult Of The Lamb successful which you tin wreak each kinds of havoc with your casually dispensed assemblage fluids. Devised by Chasing Rats Games, the crippled casts you arsenic a hooded zealot roaming a usefully colourless realm of warring eldritch gods. The halfway mechanic is slicing your manus truthful that you tin overgarment the crushed with your humor trail. The shapes you gully with your gore person supernatural properties.

Scrawl a ellipse astir a clump of villagers and they'll beryllium converted to your cause, their pale, unbelieving bodies turning a bold, occult black. Other shapes fto you prep and occurrence disconnected spells to smoosh force cultists and shatter obstacles. The catch, of course, is that your quality volition yet tally retired of blood, aka life, but don't worry, you tin clasp a fastener to hoover up each of your claret doodles without, it seems, exposing yourself to a cocktail of bacterial infections. Say what you similar astir occultists, but they're some amazingly hygienic and thrifty.

Once converted, villagers service overmuch the aforesaid intent arsenic Pikmin. You tin lob them astatine things you privation beaten up, and person them transportation things specified arsenic the sinister gemstones you request to sow the onshore with your cursed altars. You tin besides slash them unfastened and usage their triumph vino for sorcery, if you're feeling a interaction anaemic.
