Cult of the Lamb News

[h3]We have finally come to the end of Melbourne International Games Week!

We laughed, we cried, and we all praised the Lamb in real life!

Thank you to everyone who took the time out to attend our various events - whether it was our Monster Friends pop-up, the Cult of the Lamb Live Orchestra, Ritual, or if you met our team at PAX Aus! It meant the world to see just how many people love our weird little game. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you!

What event would you like to see us at next? 😗

We also hosted an amazing live show, complete with an incredible live accompaniment from Orchestra Victoria. Thank you to all who attended, and stuck around at the end for a Q&A with our wonderful team members!

[h3]Messages from our team! 💌 [/h3]

Below we have a message to you from River Boy, our wonderful Audio Director who performed in the Cult of the Lamb Live Orchestra, and was DJ-ing at the Fed Square Ritual 🎶



We also have a message from our resident writer, JoJo Zhou! JoJo's impeccable art direction, story writing and more truly brought our IRL events to life.



[h3]So, what's next? [/h3]
We're currently still all hands on deck working on the next major update, and will have more info to share on this soon. We're crushing all those sneaky little bugs, polishing, and making sure this is going to be the best update ever whilst also working on fixing bugs in the current version! 🥰

Our pumpkin decorating contest is also still underway - thank you for all of your amazing entries so far! There's still time before it ends and ALOT of prizes to be won, so be sure to get any entries in before the end of the month! Find all the details for this here.

Lambert-O'-Lantern Contest 🎃
Be afraid, Cultists. Be VERY afraid. A mysterious, lengthy being lurks when the Blood Moon Festival comes around. In your mind, in your heart, in the deepest and darkest parts of your most unearthly desires... it waits. Hungry. Insatiable.

And it's up for grabs! We are holding another event, where you will need to decorate or carve a pumpkin, present it in all it's glory to Massive Monster, and win a prize - easy, right? It's totally not haunted. That's not why we're giving it away. Please, take it from us.



Contest Details🏆
You’ll need to decorate a pumpkin (it's up to you how you do so - decora, carving, or drawing on it... let your imagination run wild!) based on Cult of the Lamb characters or imagery.

Will you make a woolly Lamb pumpkin? How about a painted pumpkin to die for? Or something else entirely?

Customise your little Lamb with various changeable face plates, poses and parts! Will they sweep poop? Will they brandish their sword in vengeance? It's up to you!

The Good Smile Online Shop bonus includes a special Cult of the Lamb branded round base, which you can sit the Lamb on top of, instead of the usual clear square base you can see in the product images.
You still get the square base, it's just a special little present for the chosen few who pre-order. This is ONLY available during the pre-order period (and if you order from Good Smile!) so be sure you place your reservations if you want it!

Pre-orders can be placed on either the Good Smile site or from Good Smile partner shops, from 21st September 2023 (Thu) from 12:00pm JST until 2nd November 2023 (Thu) at 12:00pm JST.
