⛓️🐈⬛YOUTOOZ X CULT OF THE LAMB 🐈⬛⛓️
I will be watching your every move, Lamb. Do not disappoint me!
The new Youtooz x Cult of the Lamb collection has dropped! Featuring an angy Lamb, and the fearsome One Who Waits. Pre-order to avoid disappointment!
Cult of the Lamb Nendoroid!🧹
Customise your little Lamb with various changeable face plates, poses and parts! Will they sweep poop? Will they brandish their sword in vengeance? It's up to you!
The Good Smile Online Shop bonus includes a special Cult of the Lamb branded round base, which you can sit the Lamb on top of, instead of the usual clear square base you can see in the product images. You still get the square base, it's just a special little present for the chosen few who pre-order. This is ONLY available during the pre-order period (and if you order from Good Smile!) so be sure you place your reservations if you want it!
Pre-orders can be placed on either the Good Smile site or from Good Smile partner shops, from 21st September 2023 (Thu) from 12:00pm JST until 2nd November 2023 (Thu) at 12:00pm JST.
What Does the Unity Runtime Fee Mean for Cult of the Lamb?
Greetings, Cultists!
We're here to soothe the question on everyone's minds - are we deleting Cult of the Lamb due to the Unity fee changes brought down by the iron hand of the Unity execs?
No! We're not!
Our post on X got sensationalised by the media... like, a lot! 👀
We take these fee changes very seriously, as this change affects not only us, but all indie game developers. With Unity introducing a Runtime Fee based on game installs, this will definitely hurt us, a small team that specialises in Unity games!
So, what does this change mean for Cult of the Lamb?
Some of you may have already seen the message to Unity we posted on X a couple of days ago, where we mentioned we have future projects in the pipeline that were initially planned to be developed in Unity. This change would result in significant delays, since our team would have to acquire an entirely different skillset!
If you're interested to hear more on our take regarding the decision, check out these interviews with Gamespot and Gamesradar. All in all, we sincerely hope they can deliver new management, fair pricing and a core focus on developers. This change is an absolute stinker, at best.
In the meantime, whilst we navigate what this change will mean for our future game development, we are pushing very hard on the next major content update. It is still coming. Here is a tiny teaser, a little secret animation, of what will soon be in game...
Stay tuned for more news on our next update!
Love, Massive Monster
New Merch, New Vole!
Praise be! 🙏
The Devolver Store has answered your earnest prayers for new Cult of the Lamb merchandise!
More mysterious items have appeared in our merch store. No one knows where they came from or their purpose, but they sure are deviously cute!
New T-Shirt Designs! Adorn yourself with the Lamb's divine image with not one, but TWO new creepy cute t-shirt designs!
We’re Gonna Need a Bigger Boat... And House We have been blessed with a brand new Kallamar art print, from our resident artist Carles Dalmau!
Cult of the Lamb Tapestry This is no ordinary tapestry, but a symbol of something godly. This stunningly designed woven blankie makes for both a devious display of your devotion to the one true Lamb, and will ensure you survive the harshest of cult winters.
Immerse deeper into the world of Cult of the Lamb, if you dare. Check everything out on the US Devolver Store, or our Global Store!

The eagle-eyed amongst you may have noticed the addition of a new Follower form to Cult of the Lamb, as of our last update. That's right - the beloved mascot you forgot existed, Volvy, is now available as a Follower form in Cult of the Lamb!
How do you unlock the most iconic, well known gaming mascot's follower form, I hear you ask?!
Here's how: You can unlock the Volvy form via the ??? Mystic Seller at the end of the game.
CULT OF THE LAMB X DON'T STARVE TOGETHER CROSSOVER, BUT MAKE IT AN INTERVIEW

† CULT OF THE LAMB IS 35% OFF †
Rejoice, the Lamb's disciples! 🙏🐑
The Steam Weekend Deal is here! With more content to come, now is the perfect time to partake in the dark updates, and forsaken cosmetic offerings 🔮
We have partnered up with the wonderful team behind Don't Starve Together, Klei Entertainment, to celebrate their 10 year anniversary by bringing a new, exciting update to Cult of the Lamb!
Spooky spiders make for fine friends! 🕷️
Webber has made an appearance in Cult of the Lamb, and would love to join your cult!
Scroll over the text below to find out how to get Webber! When killing spiders at the base, there is a chance a skull will spawn. Bury this skull in a grave for the Webber Follower to appear! This Follower will have a trail of spidery friends following along behind. This new Follower form includes a sinister selection of variants too!
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! Check out the new tracks below!
Version 1.2.6 Patch Notes
New Content
New secret follower & decorations
New secret Penitence Mode
New Quick Start Mode
Bug Fixes:
Fixed player being able to die after beating leader bosses
Fixed performing a heavy attack during interaction actions prevents the player from performing further heavy attack
Fix for when relic spawns a demon or combat follower right before moving to the next node, causing them to not spawn at all
Fixed hearts dropping outside of the room in the healing room
Fixed various mini bosses freezing mid fight
Removed refined resources from post-game shop
