About This Game

Cult of the Lamb: Unholy Alliance

Crusade through dungeons, slay heretics, build your cult, and seek new powers together. But there’s more. As well as the addition of co-op play, the Unholy Alliance expansion also adds new tarot cards, relics, buildings, fleeces, follower traits, follower quests, and other secrets to discover!

Double trouble

Experience the entire Cult of the Lamb campaign in local co-op, with one player inhabiting the role of the Lamb and the other taking on the mantle of the Goat. Enjoy new 2-player twists on existing minigames like fishing and knucklebones, and choose from a selection of corrupted weapons, tarot cards, curses, and relics as you embark on co-op crusades.

Cult of personality

Unholy Alliance adds a huge number of new follower traits, making your flock more diverse, unpredictable, and charismatic than ever. Cultists can be insomniacs, bust law-breaking friends out of prison, enter a catatonic state after the trauma of a resurrection, or become afflicted with a curse: and that’s just a tiny handful of the quirks you’ll encounter as your cult grows.

Power play

Take your crusades to the next level with Unholy Alliance’s godlike selection of new relics and tarot cards—some of which have been designed with co-op in mind. The Lamb and the Goat can swap weapons, deal extra damage when fighting back-to-back, or deal a critical hit if their attacks are in sync. Solo players also get a heap of new powers and abilities to play with.


Cult of the Lamb: Sins of the Flesh

The Lamb must lead, and Followers must follow in Sins of the Flesh, a free content expansion for Cult of the Lamb.

As your followers indulge in worldly pleasures, choose their prideful customizable outfits, and treat them to a gluttony of vacation juice, you might find that life may hatch from an egg. Alongside a new levelling system, new mechanics, new quests, and improved quality-of-life features, the Lamb has uncovered a new combat weapon to blast the heretics of the Old Faith. This power can be yours if you yield to the Sins of the Flesh.

Sins and Disciples

New progression systems add more depth and complexity to managing the Cult of the Lamb. By following the sinful path, your followers will delight in gluttonous rituals, vain buildings, and wrathful doctrines. Invite your most loyal Followers to the inner circle of Disciples, a revamped levelling system of Follower progression.

Better Cult Life

Shiny poop, baneful brooms, and bigger, better buildings improve busy Cult life. Shiny poops have special effects, like yielding fruitful crops and adding XP to your broom. Levelling up your broom will make chores faster and more effective. To improve automation, there’s also a new tier for the Janitor Station and the Storage Structures so your Followers will take better care of themselves.

Ready, Aim, Fire

Blast heretics away with the new Blunderbuss weapon. When loaded, it fires big damage in close quarters to bring a new combat playstyle for your crusades. If you charge it up even more with a heavy attack, you can aim to snipe enemies from long range.

Outfits, Options and Offspring!

Each of your cultists can flaunt their Follower fashion at the new Tailor building. Once unlocked, each cultist can wear their own outfit, with 23 different styles to choose from. But your Cult is getting even more unique. When two Followers love each other very much, they might find an egg. Nurture the egg for it to hatch, then care for the offspring until they're ready to pledge allegiance to your Cult!


Cult of the Lamb: Relics of the Old Faith

The Lamb must keep their Cult flourishing, their Followers faithful, and their power unchallenged as they crusade in this free content expansion, Relics of the Old Faith. It adds brand new ways to spread the gospel of the Cult of the Lamb with powerful new abilities, exciting new characters, and thrilling new challenges.

Delve into the shrouded history of the Lands of the Old Faith as the Lamb fights to conquer those who would question their power. New Cult buildings will appease your Followers while new combat abilities will smite opposing heretics. Uncover the secrets of the Old Faith so you can be the God you want to be in this massive content expansion!

New Combat

The expansion brings a deeper layer to dungeon crawling for new and returning players. With powerful Relic abilities, heavy attacks for each weapon class, and dozens of items to find, the Lamb will unleash delightful devastation.

New Postgame

Another challenge awaits after completing the main story. Revamped dungeons, mysterious characters and challenging boss encounters are in your new quest as the God of Death. Along the way, you can unlock Follower forms, fleeces, unchosen doctrines and more.

New Challenges

Put your skills to the test with several new challenge modes for combatively competent Cult leaders. Boss Rush, Permadeath and other unique challenges await after defeating the final boss.


About the Game

Cult of the Lamb casts players in the role of a possessed lamb saved from annihilation by an ominous stranger, and must repay their debt by building a loyal following in his name. Start your own cult in a land of false prophets, venturing out into diverse and mysterious regions to build a loyal community of woodland Followers and spread your Word to become the one true cult.

BUILD YOUR FLOCK

Collect and use resources to build new structures, perform dark rituals to appease the gods, and give sermons to reinforce the faith of your flock.

DESTROY THE NON-BELIEVERS

Explore a sprawling, randomly generated world, fight off hordes of enemies and defeat rival cult leaders in order to absorb their power and assert your cult's dominance.

SPREAD YOUR WORD

Train your flock and embark on a quest to explore and discover the secrets of four mysterious regions. Cleanse the non-believers, spread enlightenment, and perform mystical rituals on the journey to become the mighty lamb god.

the music in this game rocks. The community is questionable. Everything in this game makes a funny noise. Knucklebones is rigged. nothing in this game is ugly. 10/10.

The art style and soundtrack alone might be enough to make it worth a playthrough. The vibes are immaculate. But man, this is the most annoying and clunky colony builder I've ever played, mixed with the most punishing-for-the-sake-of-punishing roguelite dungeon crawler I've ever played, in the most repetitive and grindey format I've played in a long time. It's a gentle don't-recommend for me, though had you asked me in the first four hours, it would have been a strong recommend - the game starts out strong, and then plateaus into a horrible grind. It's an RL like every game seems to insist on being these days, so prepare to lose some dungeons just because you randomly got bad gear in the first room. The dungeons are designed in all sorts of "hah, got ya!" ways that feel punishing: oh yeah, of COURSE I would walk into a tiny square room with four fireball launchers all aimed straight at me and lose multiple hearts of health before I've even visually processed what the room is. The bo...

Wholesomely heretical. Exploring the themes, characters and lore of Cult of the Lamb is the perfect mix of charm and chaos. If you've ever wanted to be both a benevolent shepherd and a tyrannical prophet, this game was made for you. Adorable art style meets deeply unsettling themes. Praise the Lamb, 9/10.

Ridiculously addictive—this game hooks you fast. The visuals are stunning, battles are fluid, and the entire experience just flows effortlessly. Sure, it gets a bit cheesy at times—like when the minions throw bizarre requests your way—but honestly, that only adds to its quirky charm.

This game, no that is not the appropriate word, this EXPERIENCE known as dogpet is the greatest thing I've ever played, to keep it simple I will split it up into categories; Story, Gameplay, Graphics and conclusion --Story-- (spoilers for dogpet's amazing story) you open your eyes, blinded with light, you look around, it seems you are in paradise. A scenic set of perfect looking hills, and placed in the valley are two things; you and a dog. Not knowing what else to do you stand up, under the bright blue perfect sky and whistle over the dog. It stands up and heads towards you, you pet this mysterious dog and you feel that you've gained something, whatever it is you've got 10 of it now and are presented with a button that says "R for dog" you push the button and from the sky appears another dog. You pet it and repeat. Now, a tycoon of dogs you have more and more of them. minutes, hours, days go by, and you have a dog society. You are at peace in this weird yet perfect and amazing land, ...

I found dissenters preaching falsehoods, so I locked one in the stocks to be re-educated, offered another as a ritual sacrifice to The One Who Waits below, and fed their remains to the remaining dissenter to send a message. A follower asked for a day of rest. I obliged, but also declared a ritual fast. If they don't want to work, fine, hope they like not eating. It gets a bit samey after a while, I'll admit, and yet I just can't stop playing this game. The short-term goals give frequent dopamine rushes to the point that I just don't know how to stop playing. I'll get hungry and tell myself "just gonna build this last thing and then I'll stop" and next thing I know another hour has passed and I forgot to eat. I was supposed to work on my hobbies and passion projects this weekend, but instead I seem to have spent my Saturday preaching sermons to a group of adorable cartoon forest animals who revel in me making them fight to the death and sacrificing them for their meat. The tonal whipla...
