Cult of the Lamb Looks Both Cutesy and Disturbing at the Same Time

Announced at Gamescom 2021 this week, Cult of the Lamb is a new game from Massive Monster and Devolver Digital. At first glance, the art and graphical styles look absolutely adorable, and the red color palette is very visually striking. Then you start to watch the trailer, and realize that it’s probably going to be a little unsettling and disturbing.

Either way, you can check out the trailer for yourself down below:

And here’s a quick description of the game’s premise:

“Cult of the Lamb casts players in the role of a possessed lamb saved from annihilation by an ominous stranger, and must repay their debt by building a loyal following in his name. Start your own cult in a land of false prophets, venturing out into diverse and mysterious regions to build a loyal community of woodland worshippers and spread your Word to become the one true cult.
Collect and use resources to build new structures, perform dark rituals to appease the gods, and give sermons to reinforce the faith of your flock.
Explore a sprawling, randomly generated world, fight off hordes of enemies and defeat rival cult leaders in order to absorb their power and assert your cult’s dominance.
Train your flock and embark on a quest to explore and discover the secrets of five mysterious regions. Cleanse the non-believers, spread enlightenment and perform mystical rituals on the journey to become the mighty lamb god.”

There’s no set release date for the game just yet, but we’ll keep you updated as more info comes our way.
