The game begins with you guiding the lamb to the slaughter. The balance between the charming and the revolting is at the heart of Cult of the Lamb, not just in its aesthetic, but pervasive throughout the story, the gameplay, the systems, and the decisions you have to make. We mean really just looking at it – poring over the screen at the details, and gleefully watching the woodland creatures of our cult go about their daily lives, performing tasks that are sometimes wholesome and other times abhorrent.
