![]() Another very critical object is your prayer shrine. This is when you'll start to see just how deep the Cult of the Lamb can be. There is so much more to upgrade in the chapel such as your character cape and abilities that you'll need to think and plan carefully so that you maximize your balance between yourself and your cult. To create these doctrines, you will need to collect tablet fragments so you can form these magical stone tablets. Keep in mind though, these rituals do have a cooldown process so it's not like you can fight to the death in your chapel every day. You'll get 5 classes of doctrines, and each features 4 levels of devotion which you can chose a side/pathway, and these will be beliefs and rituals that you can perform within your cult to gain favor with them. Essentially your chapel is arguably your most important building given that it's within here that you build your satanic beliefs through choices in your doctrine that you preach. I mentioned sacrifices because your chapel where you perform your sermons once a day will develop over time as you start to gain influence. One of the things I did was always keep a few followers waiting to be inducted into the cult in case I had to perform a sacrifice to raise my follower’s impression of me. Really makes you think twice of who you will let into your cult. Yes they will be thankful you saved them, think your weak and then leave. This is also when I found out that followers will leave. In one mission I failed my followers lost over 40% of their respect for me which seemed ungrateful given that I did save them from a future filled with unending torture. This can happen through things like not enough beds or food, to even failing missions. It's entirely possible for you to save someone and recruit them into your cult, only to have them turn around and think you are weak and that your gospel is that of lies, and they will do whatever they can to spread disinformation against your cult and try to get more people to turn. You are quite literally the savior of these animals, so they become devout followers, but only for a time being and that depends on your actions. ![]() Your cult will only consist of those who you choose to save. This sandbox is where your cult will literally do everything from eat, sleep, work, build, poop and die. In your community sandbox when you start you'll have rocks, berry bushes and trees all to harvest. Ready to sell your soul for your salvation? Everyone has a price.Ĭult of the Lamb is setup to combine a lot of hack and slash elements with base building community management, and from the beginning you have to start with the basics, and what's more basic than creating your name for your cult? For me, I chose The Cult of Personality for my first playthrough and for my second I chose Blue Oyster Cult for more of that cowbell flavor. Should you succeed, you will not only create a flourishing community devout to a demon from hell, but you will have proven your worth (probably) to the very demon that saved your soul. The lamb is tasked with formulating enough influence to spread devotion to other souls that will pray in its unholy name. So, in the beginning our little lamb was doomed to be sacrificed in the name of everything unholy and evil, however just as the ritual was coming to a climax, our lamb was saved by none other than a demon who has been imprisoned and requires your help to build a cult that will follow in its name. Now normally I review things from a cost versus value perspective because in today's world money is tight so quality gaming is essential, and Cult of the Lamb could easily be a contender for Game of the Year. Imagine taking the Woodland Critters of South Park and mix that with Lamb Chop and sprinkle in some Hades and top it off with some lighthearted village building elements, and you essentially have Massive Monster's latest hit. We'll have pigs, goats and all kinds of cute animals, and they'll all look towards this lamb for guidance it'll be great! Then let's have this lamb turn out to be a cult leader that was created by a demon during a ritual execution and fill the game with satanic imagery, rituals, religious doctrines and have them all work together in this demonic setting for a better life." Now imagine everyone else at work saying, "GREAT IDEA!" And thus, Cult of the Lamb was born. Imagine sitting there at work one day and thinking, "you know what? Let's make a game where we have a really cute lamb as a main character and a bunch of really cute animals that follow this lamb.
