"As the game’s titular lamb, now in charge of amassing followers to build a cult, you essentially take ownership of a rundown site that once belonged to another cult leader.” There’s just so much to learn and find and unlock in your first playthrough, and I’m not sure I even want to get into the prospect of follow-on sessions, armed with the knowledge that wood is your earliest friend and that you really shouldn’t build with a hodgepodge sense of whatever, wherever, because I guarantee you it’ll come back to bite you in your cute little lamb ass later. It’s here where the developer side of things takes over from that “gamers first” base I mentioned and what we wind up with is a thoughtful experience, exquisitely written, that could take your soul for as few as a handful of hours to as many as weeks upon weeks worth.

It is also a densely layered experience whose local developer, Massive Monster, has crafted a game clearly as gamers first. How you escaped your fate is doubly cute, because it appears you were set to be the last act in defying an old god, according to some other old gods - each as monstrously cute as the last.Ĭult of the Lamb, however, is actually really very dark. Now, free of your bondage, it’s time to enact upon some cutely-presented revenge by subjugating even cuter animals than you, into your burgeoning cult. I mean, on the surface the game is cute and accessible and thematically on-the-nose you’re a lamb who’s escaped a sacrificial rite. One of the most enjoyable aspects, I’ve found, when playing Cult of the Lamb is explaining to people just how deep it all goes. These were rectified at the time with restarting the game.
