Developer Massive Monster and Devolver Digital previously announced the release of ‘Cult of the Lamb’ and have now confirmed its release for sometime in Fall 2022. The game is centered around a possessed lamb who is miraculously saved from destruction, tasked with repaying his debt by running and maintaining a cult.
Players will be forced to "ventur[e] out into diverse and mysterious regions to build a loyal community of woodland worshippers and spread your Word to become the one true cult." This adorable take on such grim subject matter is unique for a game of its kind.
