Cult of the Lamb

Cult of the Lamb is a 2022 roguelike video game developed by Australian studio Massive Monster and published by Devolver Digital. The game was released on 11 August 2022, for macOS, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows, Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S. It was made available on iOS, macOS and visionOS through Apple Arcade on 4 December 2025. The last lamb is saved from execution by an imprisoned deity named The One Who Waits. The Lamb must repay their debt to the deity by creating a loyal cult, and taking vengeance against the four bishops who imprisoned him. The game is primarily split between crusades - action sequences working through the dungeons which house the bishops - and more calm sequences of cult management. Ultimately, the Lamb must face The One Who Waits himself. Cult of the Lamb received generally positive reviews from critics upon release, with praise directed towards its gameplay and replay value. It received three nominations at the 19th British Academy Games Awards, including Best Game. It has since been expanded significantly by a number of free content updates. In January 2026, the Woolhaven expansion added a postgame storyline as well as a number of new mechanics. The game has been referred to as a cult classic.
