![]() ![]() In any case, it’s up to you how peacefully or violently you want to manage your cult however, you do need to have followers to keep advancing, so keep that in mind! I chose to be as pacifist as possible, but sometimes you’ll have to make some sacrifices, literally! This comes up when your followers will ask to be sacrificed for the good of the cult. The simulation part of Cult of the Lamb is quite entertaining as well. I personally loved this, as it helps me stay focused. You’re constantly working on things, and the game keeps you with a sense of urgency that makes things very exciting. If you don’t handle that in an expeditious manner, you’ll suddenly see your followers deserting. Sometimes you’ll be managing your cult and run out of resources, which means you have to explore to find what’s needed. These elements are core to the experience, and you can’t choose one over the other. If you are familiar with both of these franchises, you may wonder: how on earth do these two combine? The first thing established is the game’s two different styles: management simulation and action rogue-like. Without knowing anything about the game other than what I saw in the animated trailer, you can imagine my reaction when I found a mix of what’s essentially Animal Crossing and The Binding of Isaac. ![]() There’s not a single track I don’t enjoy listening to, and you can bet I added it to my playlist of study music. ![]() Cult of the Lamb’s music, which is both cheery and relaxing while also eerie and sinister, keeps you immersed in the experience the whole time. Quite simply, having enjoyed this game’s soundtrack, I am now a firm believer that music heaven exists. In terms of the game’s soundtrack, composer Narayana Johnson (AKA River Boy) has crafted something that expertly matches Cult of the Lamb’s numerous mechanics. The habitants of this foreboding world make the most with what they have, despite living among the constant threat of danger from the cults around them. This vibe bleeds into the environment as well, with peculiar locations that help foster a gloomy atmosphere. This may sound like a clash of styles, but it feels like a perfect compliment to the game’s quieter moments and action-packed elements. ![]() On the flip-side are the main antagonists, which have a much more nightmarish, yet somehow angelic appearance. Most of the characters have an adorable and unique design that honestly makes you forget that you can sacrifice them in cold blood. The main theme of the game, which centers around religion and violence, may appear insensitive and crude to those on the outside looking in, but it’s actually presented in a tasteful way. These visuals push you to keep playing, exploring, and unlocking content, as you simply want to see it all! The artstyle is like a beautiful pop-up book, reminiscent of games like Paper Mario or Bug Fables. With the very first trailer for Cult of the Lamb, you know you’ll get an incredible-looking game. ![]()
