Cult of the Lamb follows a lamb saved from ritual sacrifice by a mysterious stranger, who is bound to a strange one-eyed entity and sent to build a devoted following in its name. Set across a series of unique lands filled with corruption and other cults to defeat, the lamb rises from meagre prophet to leader of a powerful religion.
Outside of combat, players manage their own cult's home base: performing sermons, expanding the flock's ranks and beliefs, and completing quests for their followers to strengthen their faith. In combat, fast-paced roguelike dungeon crawling has players fighting through corrupted forests, snowy tundras, and desert wastelands using unlockable weapons and boons granted by their eldritch benefactor.
