Additional details:

Spooky spiders make for fine friends!

Webber has made an appearance in Cult of the Lamb, and would love to join your cult! You will need to unlock this Follower first to access the new Penitence mode, and unlock the new décor!

Spookify your space, with more decorations for your cult! Some strange technology has appeared from a mysterious land… just what is ‘science’?New decorations include:

Alchemy Engine

Deerclops Figure

Marble Tree

Pig Head Flag

Science Machine

Potted Treeguard

Hay Wall

Penitence Mode

Arise, Lamb! Sate your ravenous hunger, and rest your weary eyes. This is a brand new mode that brings in survival mechanics inspired by Don’t Starve – Hunger, and Sleep!

When either bar is too low or empty, a mysterious timer will appear. You will take damage each time it counts down. Be sure to rest and feed your hungry little Lamb or not only will they perish, it will be game over… permanently. To play this new mode, select it when starting a new game (just like the Permadeath mode!).

The key to survival will be to manage both your Hunger and Sleep levels – they will continue to go down, even when on crusades. You will be able to abandon a crusade early, but this will come at a slight cost of some of the resources you gathered.

New Beats!

Our audio director River Boy has been hard at work adding more music to Cult of the Lamb!
