7 years ago today, we revealed our first ever art contest, in which our community members designed paintings for Grunewald Library! 🖌️
Following the contest, three winners had their artwork implemented into Witch It as props, becoming an iconic addition to the game ever since.

We are delighted to finally announce the Dreamland Art Contest - a monumental competition in which your art could leave an impact on the game for many years to come! ːluaqː


We are looking to add 3 pieces of community art to our upcoming content update: Dreamland! ✨
Entrants will compete for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place judged by Barrel Roll Games and the Community Staff team.

🥇 1st Place - Your artwork will be placed in a gold frame and implemented as a playable prop!
🥈 2nd Place - Your artwork will be placed in a silver frame and implemented as a playable prop!
🥉 3rd Place - Your artwork will be placed in a bronze frame and implemented as a playable prop!

Each winner will also receive a Witch It key to be redeemed on Steam! 🔑


Dreamland is heavily inspired by countless fantasy stories and themes.
Ask yourself: how will your artwork fit into Witch It's weird and wacky world? 💫

1️⃣ Pick whether you want a horizontal frame, or vertical frame.
You must create your art in the 8:5/5:8 aspect resolution. Here's our guidelines:

If you're creating artwork for a horizontal frame: 2560px x 1600px, 1920px x 1200px or 1280px x 800px.
If you're creating artwork for a vertical frame: 1600px x 2560px, 1200px x 1920px or 800px x 1280px.

2️⃣ Design your artwork and export it, ensuring you follow the rules below!
3️⃣ Upload your entry as a .png or .jpg image to #art-entries on our Discord server, or post your artwork underneath this Steam announcement!

You are allowed to name your artwork, but please note that we may change their names if used.

- Your artwork must relate to Witch It in some form.
- You must submit your artwork in the 8:5 or 5:8 aspect ratio (please see our guidelines above). If you win, your artwork will be downscaled to 128 x 80 or 80 x 128 based on Witch It's prop constraints, so please be mindful when adding intricate details - they might not appear in-game!
- You must own all elements of your art. Do not use (or commission) pictures or elements created by other people (Witch It content is fine to use)!
- Entry file format must be .png or .jpg.
- Your entry must follow our rules - no offensive content!
- Make sure your artwork fits the art style of Witch It.
- You can submit 2 entries maximum - but your second entry must be in a different resolution (for example, if you submitted a vertical painting, you can only create a horizontal painting next)!
- All users can enter, including previous contest winners and community staff.
- You can collaborate with other entrants if you wish, but be aware that this will count as an entry for all artists involved. Please list all collaborators alongside your entry!

🔨 Breaking these rules may result in disqualification from the contest!

Absolutely no full or partial AI-generated artwork is allowed to be submitted for this contest.
We may ask you for proof of creation, such as a layered file or progress pictures. If you can't provide at least one of these on request, your entry will be void. ⚠️

By posting your entry, you are agreeing that we can use your creation in the future in any form! ✔️

Entries will close on 7th April 2024 @ 11pm (UTC)!
Winners will be revealed within a few weeks after the deadline.

Good luck, artists! 🎉

Dear Devoted Followers of the Great Old One,

Rejoice, for the time has come to spread the gospel of our beloved deity across the digital realm! We, the humble servants of Cthulhu, are proud to unveil our latest creation: "Worshippers of Cthulhu" - a city-builder game infused with the dark essence of our divine master.



In this eldritch venture, you shall ascend to the lofty position of cult leadership, guiding your flock towards the ultimate goal of awakening our slumbering god. Every decision rests upon your shoulders; will you lead your followers to toil in servitude, conquer the unbelievers, or offer their very souls in blasphemous rituals to hasten Cthulhu's awakening?



But fear not, for your task shall not be without reward! Behold the unique selling points of our unholy creation:

🌟 Lead the Cult: Assume the mantle of cult leadership and dictate the fate of each follower. Proclaim dogmas, announce celebrations, and converse with His servants to achieve the singular goal that matters—awakening your god!

🌟 Build a City: Erect cities upon multiple islands, sustaining your followers and thriving through connection with our Great Old One. Manage production chains, workers, and dangerous ruins to expand your dominion and prepare for the coming of Cthulhu!

🌟 Perform Dark Rituals: Engage with the Great One, Dagon, and other entities from Lovecraft's mythology through rituals. Gain knowledge and supernatural blessings to increase your power and expand your city with divine favor!

🌟 Conquer Non-Believers: In the vast tapestry of existence, non-believers serve as a source of land, resources, and manpower. Conquer, pillage, sacrifice, or convert—whatever suits your blasphemous desires!

🌟 Immerse Yourself in Lovecraft's Realm: Begin with little knowledge of the supernatural realm and gradually uncover its eldritch secrets. Everything is enveloped in Lovecraft's language and writing style, ensuring an immersive experience into the depths of madness!



Join us, dear devotees, in spreading the faith of Cthulhu far and wide! By wishlisting and following "Worshippers of Cthulhu" on Steam, you not only aid in spreading the word of our divine master but also grant visibility to our endeavor. Let us together pave the way for the awakening of our god, for His dominion shall reign eternal!

May the tentacles of Cthulhu embrace you all,
