♦ Rules ♦


1. Stay Civil

This is a place for friendly discussion, memes, guides, art, gameplay questions, screenshots and the like. Discrimination and harrassment won't be tolerated.


2. Offtopic Posts

Anything not related to CotL, like politics, real-world news etc. is better suited elsewhere and will be removed. The same goes for NSFW material.


3. Don't argue about religion

Cult of the Lamb is a game with religious elements that might rub people the wrong way, but please keep in mind that it is just a game. Playing CotL does not turn the player into a cultist, just like standing in a garage doesn't turn people into cars.


4. No Advertisements

It is okay to post about merchandise, but links to those "design your own merch" sites will be removed, as those are almost always scams featuring stolen art. Affliate links will be removed as well. This isn't Etsy.


5. Provide Sources

If you're going to post art, comics, guides, screenshots etc. that are not your own OC, please mention the name of the original creator and ideally also a link to their portfolio/website. (Pinterest is almost never the original source)


6. Suggestions are Welcome!

Feedback, requests for improvements and constructive criticism are always appreciated ;)

Honestly, I thought the guns and nudist update were a joke at first until the creator confirmed that those things will indeed be in the game, but now there will apparently also be .... rainbow poop.

It's even on the official wiki already: https://cult-of-the-lamb.fandom.com/wiki/Sins_of_the_flesh

No weirder than actual religion.

I haven't played since launch, is there much added yet?

There were multiple updates and DLCs - but the good part is that the content updates are free, and the DLC is purely cosmetical, unlike other studios who often do it the other way around ;)

  • Blood Moon Festival - free seasonal event. You can retroactively trigger it by simply changing the clock of the system you're playing on. Content: A ritual, new follower forms, some new decorations / items.

  • Relics of the Old Faith - free update: New achievements, new NPCs and additional storyline, new items, added permadeath mode, added photo mode & stickers, "heavy" attackse, a bunch of "Relics" with different features/abilities, new crusades, new enemies & minibosses, new commandement stones, and a bunch of other stuff like critters and follower quests.

  • The Heretic Pack was released alongside Relics of the Old Faith and is paid DLC adding new follower forms and some decorations plus a new fleece. The Cultist pack offers different follower forms and decorations.

  • Don't Starve Update - free of charge: Penitence gameplay mode (adds hunger & fatigue meter), new follower form & decorations, additional music tracks

  • Sins of the Flesh - not released yet, planned as a free-of-charge update early next year. From what we've seen now, they will add at least one new ritual, guns as a new weapon type, the rainbow poop item, and as per description of the devs "additional story elements, focus on cult depth, and customization".

IMHO Relics of the Old Faith added the biggest chunk of gameplay content, but a lot of it is postgame stuff.
