Plot
In it, players have the opportunity to play the lamb, saved from execution by a mysterious, demonic stranger. The protagonist is endowed with a great power, thanks to which he not only resists his opponents, but also gains recognition of the other inhabitants of his world. However, this power has not been given to him for free. To repay his debt, the protagonist becomes the head of a newly founded cult. His goal is not only to spread the word and gain new followers, but also to eliminate other sects led by false prophets.
Mechanics
In order to gain new followers the main character sometimes sets off into the vast world, built on a randomly generated map and made up of 5 mysterious regions, full of treasures, secrets and various enemies. Not only wildlife, but also other cults, led by rival prophets, prove dangerous. Fighting hordes of enemies and annihilating the leaders of other sects allows you to absorb their powers. In Cult of the Lamb it is also important to strengthen the faith of your flock through preaching, as well as to keep the worshipped deity happy by performing dark rituals and erecting new buildings, created from the resources gathered during your travels.
Technical aspects
The game features 2D graphics, with a setting that is both dark and charming.
