10 Most Sinister Video Game Cults

Not even outer space is free of its pious loonies, it seems. And given that poor Isaac Clarke falls victim to the clutches of this demented organisation time and time again, it's safe to say they're far more than just an ever-growing nuisance.

While most see the necormorphs as a dangerous plague that needs to be wiped out, the followers of the Church of Unitology believe them to be the next step in humanity's ascension. They worship the alien artefacts, the Markers, as they are the source of the alien transformations, and, so Unitologists say, hold the key to eternal life.

Naturally, then, they don't see the necromorphs as a threat. Rather, they want us to accept and embrace them - which is often how these people end up dying horribly.

And many aren't content to just leave it there. Driven insane by dementia-induced hallucinations, some Unitologists have even conducted experiments on infected bodies, birthing some of the most hideous, gnarled behemoths that the world has ever seen. Not only that, but many of them can't be killed, so...have fun with that.
