Cult of the Lamb

A game in which a sacrificed lamb starts a cult, recruits woodland animals and manages their faith between dungeon runs, released in August 2022 and selling a million copies in its first week on an art style that made brainwashing look adorable. The record also files the January 2024 update that added mating between followers, promised on social media at a follower count and delivered as threatened.

Sighting @packet_loss · Poster 6 Jul 2023

A Twitter thread in August 2022 in which someone described their cult's dissenter being fed to the others, and the replies were entirely people sharing their own.

Memory @var_victim · Poster 8 Dec 2022

I remember the first follower to grow old and die, and the sermon I gave about it to raise faith, and how quickly the others forgot her.

The record notes that the game's social account ran a long joke about a 'sex update' before it existed, and that the update that shipped was tamer than the joke and larger than the game's launch patch.
