Branching Story · Comedy · Fantasy · Roguelike
A roguelite dungeon crawler and cult management sim rolled into one, its core loop is devilishly moreish. You’ll hack and slash through procedurally generated dungeons, but return to base to build your flock, deliver sermons, and perform rituals. The constant push and pull between combat, resource management, and the whims of your followers is what makes Cult of the Lamb so compelling, even if the individual parts aren't revolutionary.
