Cult of the Lamb (2022) puts you in the hooves of a lamb saved from sacrifice by the mysterious One Who Waits. You build and lead a cult, balancing the chaos of roguelike dungeon crawling with the calm, ritual rhythm of base building. Independent studio Massive Monster paired this dark premise with a cute 2D art style, giving the game its irreverent charm. The world’s production design shapes the story. Every dungeon, village and ritual space reflects the game’s themes through character design, animation and environmental cues. A bold red, black and white palette unites adorable and sinister elements into an unforgettable world. Side quests, item descriptions and secrets reward exploration, while players experience a surprisingly cosy sense of community as they nurture their followers. This imaginative world expands in the upcoming Cult of the Lamb: Woolhaven, promising a fresh chapter for one of Australia’s most celebrated indie games.
