PC, PlayStation 4/5, Xbox, Nintendo Switch; Massive Monster/Devolver DigitalThis eerie triumph is both a dungeon crawl in pursuit of heretic bishops and a society-builder where you build a legion of worshippers
In the first few moments of runaway summer hit Cult of the Lamb, the protagonist is sacrificed and summoned back to life as an emissary of an imprisoned elder-god. Your job, as this titular lamb, is clear: gather devotees to worship the eldritch being, and murder the four heretic bishops who oppose him. It’s no small ask for a tiny sheep who has already been slaughtered. But the tables turn quickly in your favour, and soon you are the one wielding the blade and performing the rituals.
