When one thinks of the word “cult,” the first thing to come to mind is probably the Manson Family or John Jones. But what if I were to tell you a secret? That cartoony 2D lambs actually lead the most savage cults; because that’s precisely where Devolver Digital went with their latest release, Cult of the Lamb.
What is Cult of the Lamb?
Cult of the Lamb is an 2D isometric action-adventure game. In it, you play a lamb, and must gather woodland followers to advance your cause and build your community.
Focused on dark elements, in Cult of the Lamb you take on 4 bishops head-to-head as bosses. Your goal is to build your cult following and defeat these bishops to become the ultimate cult.

What Platforms is Cult of the Lamb available on?
Cult of the Lamb is available for PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
What Makes Cult of the Lamb Worth Checking Out?
Devolver Digital has been known to make some seriously solid releases in the past, including games like Inscryption, Hotline Miami, and Enter the Gungeon, just to name a few. If that alone doesn’t get you excited to play the game, we’ve checked out a lot of the early gameplay footage, and it looks like a chaotic blast to play.
The dark-cute aesthetic works for it too, and it’s pretty unlike anything we’ve seen in recent memory. Lastly, we’re suckers when it comes to town/community builders here, so the fact you get to raise your very own cult is really what’s got our interests peaked. Is that sadistic of us?
You can pre-purchase or play the demo of Cult of the Lamb now on Steam.
