We are lunching in 10 DAYS! (and other news)
Yes, you read that right, Cult of the Lamb will launch at lunchtime (EDT) on August 11.
When is lunchtime? Well, that's part of the fun! You can expect it to be available around the middle of the day-ish on August 11. (EDT - New York timezone)
That also means that there's less than 10 days to get the Cthulhu Follower Form! It is exclusive as a Pre-Purchase bonus which means that after the game launches, there will not be any way to make a cult of cute Cthulhu's worshipping the Lamb.
More Features
While you can get a taste of the core combat and management gameplay in the Cult of the Lamb Demo, there are many other features that add depth while bolstering your Cult. I'll share a few of my favourites in this Dev Blog.
Weddings and relationships
What is a Cult leader without a faithful partner at their side? Each Follower will have their own loyalty level towards you. There are many ways to boost their loyalty like blessing them, giving them gifts and yes, accepting their marriage proposals. Since this is an authentic Cult, of course you can marry as many Followers as you'd like. But the more you spread out your love, the more jealous your other spouses will get!
Just keep fishing
All the best games have fishing minigames! At Pilgrim's Passage, you can join the Fisherman to cast a line into open waters. The fish are plentiful but certain kinds are rarer than others. You can cook your catch in several different recipes or trade your best specimens to the Fisherman for Holy Talisman Pieces. These can be used to impact your dungeon gameplay through swappable permanent modifiers.
The Trials of the tarot
Speaking of dungeon runs, you may encounter Clauneck, the Dealer of cards and Teller of fortunes. They will give you a choice of two tarot cards. Each card will buff your dungeon run in a different way so you'll need to choose wisely depending on your preferred playstyle. There are 36 different cards to unlock and you may find them in some curious places around the world!
Knucklebones, a dice game of risk and reward
When you want to make a quick buck, you can try your luck at Knucklebones. Matching dice🎲 gives you powerful multipliers but also makes them susceptible to getting destroyed. Will you spread your dice out to fill the board quickly or risk your matches for the big money multipliers?
