Cult of the Lamb News

As a really small development team, we've come so far with Cult of the Lamb.

It barely feels real that so many of you are looking forward to our game and we can't wait for you to play! If you'd like to see how much the game has changed, you can check out this short comparison video.

And now, our game is launching in just 12 hours, It's been some journey.

[h3]Cthulhu Pre-Purchase Bonus[/h3]

That also means there's only a short time to get the Cthulhu Follower form which is a Pre-Purchase bonus! It isn't only one Cosmetic item since each Follower Form has 3 variations along with a whole palette of colours to customize with.



[h3]Physical Editions[/h3]

Also, if you're interested in physical versions of the game for consoles, they will be available through Special Reserves. The pre-orders on these will start at 10AM EDT. There are several different editions which also include other items like the artbook and Lamb Plushie!



[h3]Thank you[/h3]

Finally, we'd like to thank you for all of your support during our development and leading up to launch. We are looking forward to iterating on Cult of the Lamb to make the game as good as possible. Fixing issues that you find will be our first priority and after that, we will be working on additional content to make the game even deeper than it already is.

We welcome you to join our Cult but this is just the beginning. We can't wait to have you along for the ride!

A bright sun heralds the start of day 37 for CultPaperShotgun. Katharine wakes up and immediately sets to work cleaning up the mountains of poop and vomit puddles left over from the previous night's revelries. As she works, she spies her good friend Alice B harvesting cauliflowers from the cult's garden, trying to keep as far as possible away from the (now slightly rotting) corpse of Graham that lays nearby. A cluster of other followers are busy dancing around a shrine in the centre of the village, but they all stop to witness a fight between the two oldest members of the cult - Alice0 and Liam. Ritual combat of the elderly is a staple of CultPaperShotgun, and as Alice0 delivers the final blow to an ailing Liam, cries of euphoria reverberate about the camp as his spirit (and chunks of flesh) are donated to the cause.

Where am I in all this, you ask? I, the Lamb, the glorious leader of our cult, the holy vessel of Death itself, and the sworn enemy of the Bishops of the Old Faith that are destined soon to die by my blade? I'm kicking back at a nearby camp, enjoying a spot of fishing and a friendly game of Knucklebones.

This, friends, is Cult Of The Lamb. And it is excellent.

🙏 THE 🐑

Yes, you read that right, Cult of the Lamb will launch at lunchtime (EDT) on August 11.

When is lunchtime? Well, that's part of the fun! You can expect it to be available around the middle of the day-ish on August 11. (EDT - New York timezone)

That also means that there's less than 10 days to get the Cthulhu Follower Form! It is exclusive as a Pre-Purchase bonus which means that after the game launches, there will not be any way to make a cult of cute Cthulhu's worshipping the Lamb.

While you can get a taste of the core combat and management gameplay in the Cult of the Lamb Demo, there are many other features that add depth while bolstering your Cult. I'll share a few of my favourites in this Dev Blog.

[h3]Weddings and relationships[/h3]

What is a Cult leader without a faithful partner at their side? Each Follower will have their own loyalty level towards you. There are many ways to boost their loyalty like blessing them, giving them gifts and yes, accepting their marriage proposals. Since this is an authentic Cult, of course you can marry as many Followers as you'd like. But the more you spread out your love, the more jealous your other spouses will get!

[h3]Just keep fishing[/h3]

All the best games have fishing minigames! At Pilgrim's Passage, you can join the Fisherman to cast a line into open waters. The fish are plentiful but certain kinds are rarer than others. You can cook your catch in several different recipes or trade your best specimens to the Fisherman for Holy Talisman Pieces. These can be used to impact your dungeon gameplay through swappable permanent modifiers.

[h3]The Trials of the tarot[/h3]

Speaking of dungeon runs, you may encounter Clauneck, the Dealer of cards and Teller of fortunes. They will give you a choice of two tarot cards. Each card will buff your dungeon run in a different way so you'll need to choose wisely depending on your preferred playstyle. There are 36 different cards to unlock and you may find them in some curious places around the world!

[h3]Knucklebones, a dice game of risk and reward[/h3]

When you want to make a quick buck, you can try your luck at Knucklebones. Matching dice🎲 gives you powerful multipliers but also makes them susceptible to getting destroyed. Will you spread your dice out to fill the board quickly or risk your matches for the big money multipliers?

You can read a full step-by-step explanation in this Twitter thread!

We also did a first run of the Cult of the Lamb Plushie! It sold out in just a few minutes but we are already working on having more made. They will be available on the Devolver Merch Store where you can also buy evangelistic apparel to show everyone your devotion to the Lamb.

[h3]No one said it was easy to create a cult in the name of The One Who Waits.[/h3]

Sometimes it might seem like all hope is lost, but the strength of your convictions will keep you on the righteous path - along with the helping hands of a few friends.

Here are some of the colorful characters who will help as you crusade through the Lands of the Old Faith.
