Cult of the Lamb is an eerie triumph of dungeon crawling and society-building. As the titular Lamb, your job is to gather devotees to worship an imprisoned elder-god and defeat four heretic bishops. You will wield a randomly chosen weapon and uncover tarot cards to power up. You need to manage your cult, keep them faithful and make sure they are fed, cleaned, housed and preached to.


What we like:
  • Unique two part gameplay with dungeon crawler and cult management simulator elements
  • Darkly cute art style
  • Sharp gameplay
  • No choice in weapons or power ups for each run so no two runs are ever the same
What could be improved:
  • Short time limit in labyrinths to ensure that dead bodies are buried and prayers offered or risk dissent among followers
