Cult of the Lamb will soon bring eldritch horror and action to Apple Arcade
It's beginning to look a lot like cult-mas
- Cult of the Lamb is coming to Apple Arcade
- Releasing this winter, it sees you take on the role of an eldritch-worshipping lamb
- Uncover forbidden secrets, grow your cult and obtain unholy power
For whatever reason, the idea of a cult has receded in pop culture from super-dangerous to super-goofy. At least I think that's part of the idea behind Cult of the Lamb. Either that or there are some people with serious megalomaniacal ambitions who'll be happy to see it make its way to Apple Arcade.
Yes, coming from developer Massive Monster and publisher Devolver Digital, Cult of the Lamb is set to arrive on Apple Arcade come December 2nd.
Playing as the titular lamb in a world of fuzzy, anthropomorphic creatures, you're saved from certain death by an eldritch deity. But this is far from charity as it tasks you with destroying heretics and recruiting followers in its name.
Your task? Build up a cult to outshine all others and establish yourself as the one true fate. And perhaps gain a little bit of godlike power yourself while you're at it.

On the lamb
Cult of the Lamb is one of a string of indie hits that Devolver Digital has on offer, and perhaps the best-known effort from Massive Monster. For good reason, considering it combines bullet-hell action like Binding of Isaac with just a touch of the strategy elements that go into organising, manipulating and exploiting your sinister cult.So, whether or not you want to dodge and weave through projectiles while wielding extraordinary powers, or concentrate more on growing a loyal flock (oh...just got that joke) of followers, then Cult of the Lamb is one to watch when it drops on December 2nd on Apple Arcade.
