Steam hit that's basically a horror Stardew Valley is getting a massive free download

It quickly became a hit after it was first released last year and now the roguelike title is heading for a massive free download as well as currently being 40% off in the Steam Autumn Sale.

Cult of the Lamb took the world by storm when it was released in June 2022, racking up an impressive one million units sold in its first week. Now over a year later, it has gone on to receive three BAFTA nominations, including one for Best Game and now its developer’s attention has turned to the future.

Developed by indie company Massive Monster, Cult of the Lamb will be receiving a free major content update early next year. Titled ‘Sins of the Flesh’, the update will include “new features, stories and more” according to an announcement made on Twitter last week.

“We have been working extremely hard on this update, and there is so much more content coming to the game!” The announcement read alongside news that Cult of the Lamb is currently 40% on the Steam Autumn Sale which is its biggest sale yet.

Thanks to its quirky dialogue, epic boss battles and fun gameplay, it is no wonder that Cult of the Lamb sits at an “overwhelmingly positive” rating on Steam. Additionally, the title features Twitch integration which made the title become popular on Twitch. The feature allowed viewers to add their own cultists to the game as well as vote to help or hinder the streamer. As you can imagine, this led to a lot of chaos. Why wouldn’t you want to vote for all the cultists to eat their own poop?

With just a few months to go until the new content pack, now would be the perfect dive to delve into Cult of the Lamb and see if you have what it really takes to control your own cult.
