About Join Us
Join Us is a 2026 PC survival simulator where you lead a cult and survive the apocalypse. Developed by Wolf Haus Games, it blends base building, resource gathering, and co-op mechanics in an open world. You’ll ride bears, construct bases, and manage followers while preparing for the end times. The game supports single-player, multiplayer, and co-op modes. Its quirky premise and focus on cult dynamics set it apart from standard survival titles. With a December 31, 2026 release, it’s positioned as a co-op experience for up to four players.
Gameplay
In Join Us, survival hinges on balancing resource collection, base expansion, and follower management. You’ll scavenge materials, craft tools, and ride bears to cross the world. Building a fortified base is key to withstanding recurring apocalypse events. The cult leadership system lets you assign tasks, track loyalty, and resolve internal conflicts. Each session involves gathering, crafting, and defending against environmental threats. Multiplayer adds coordination challenges, like managing shared resources. Controls are intuitive but repetitive, with quick-time events for bear riding. The open world feels dynamic but lacks deep exploration rewards.
What Players Think
PlayPile community ratings are strong: 88% user approval and 84/100 critic score. Average playtime is 12.5 hours, with a 28% completion rate. Positive moods (amused, frustrated) and negative moods (annoyed, confused) split 67/33. Reviewers praise the “incredibly charming cult simulator” but note “apocalypse elements feel undercooked.” Early builds show addictive base-building loops but repetitive late-game content. Co-op play sees high engagement but occasional bugs. Achievement data is sparse, but 61% of players unlock 10+ milestones.
PlayPile's Take
Join Us is worth playing for fans of quirky co-op survival. It excels in cult management and bear-riding novelty but falters in long-term pacing. With a completion rate under 30%, it’s a short but charming experience. The price isn’t listed yet, but achievements (61% completion among top players) hint at replay value. Best for groups seeking light, collaborative fun with a cult twist. Skip if you crave deep survival mechanics or polished lore.
