![]() ![]() If we had a different aesthetic I think the game would be R-rated and banned in every country. JA: I think because the art direction is so cute, it gave us a license to be as horrendous as possible. So we do a lot to reward people for doing horrible things – like marrying and then murdering someone – and just pile those things on so that they become absolute monsters. Now you don't just get gold, you actually level up your character entirely, and we make it so that the higher level your follower is, the more loyal they are the more points you get. Before then, you would just get gold for doing one. JA: We actually changed the sacrifice ritual just three weeks ago. How do you incentivise someone to get hooked on ritual sacrifice and exhortation? You borrow a bit from Grand Theft Auto and Untitled Goose Game where the player is encouraged to do the bad thing. Now that the game has come out and done well we have plans to send everyone to Bali and have a big old holiday party to celebrate. I’ve got two kids now, so it was a very long time ago. JA: I think the last time we all met was three years ago, because it’s pre-pandemic. We've, we've always worked remotely and I started working with Jay eight years ago. JP: It kind of is like having a long-distance relationship, actually – we just write each other sweet messages every morning and make sure to send some flowers regularly… Honestly, I think we just got into the flow of it. Making a game across so many time zones sounds like a nightmare. ![]() ![]() Your team is split remotely across the UK, Singapore and Australia. That concept was trying to do too many things at once though, so we went back to the board and iterated for a while before pitching to a bunch of different publishers again, and basically every single one came back to us and said, ‘Yes’. They had their tribal followers, and you would still sacrifice some stuff for the head, you'd like jump off the web and go to the ground below and fight enemies. JP: Originally we had a very different concept where you kind of play as this god who lived on top of the flame. Similar to other "rogue-lites", players start off with random gear and must progress through each procedurally-generated dungeon, with death ending the run prematurely.When did you realise you're on to the good thing with this game? Much of the game's action comes from performing runs through a series of linked dungeons to defeat enemies, gain resources, and acquire new followers to indoctrinate. As players progress through the game, they unlock new places to visit, new buildings to help automate the village, new perks to ease gameplay, and bonus activities (such as fishing and gambling). Much of the game is split between managing the cult's village and venturing out into small dungeon-crawling "crusades", both of which use a clock with a day/night cycle. Possessed by the Red Crown given by the entity, the lamb has demonic supernatural powers to help them fight non-believers, strengthen the cult, and seek revenge on the four heretical prophets that sacrificed them. Set in a land of anthropomorphic animals and other creatures ( demonic and otherwise), Cult of the Lamb puts players in the role of a lamb who is saved from sacrifice by a mysterious demonic entity ("The One Who Waits") and is tasked with forming a loyal following in the entity's name. Cult of the Lamb is a horror-fantasy third-person action-adventure / colony management game developed by Massive Monster and published digitally by Devolver Digital for the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC on August 11, 2022. ![]()
