Cult of the Lamb

Determination: Explicit — Occult 3, Blasphemy 3

You are the cult leader. Sermons, rituals and indoctrination are the progression systems, and the game rewards all of them.

Cult of the Lamb is the only record in this catalogue where dark worship is the player's own project rather than something the player opposes, which is why it carries Occult at the top of the scale. A lamb spared from sacrifice by the entity Narinder builds a following in his name. The loop is management: recruit followers, build a temple, preach sermons that raise devotion, run rituals, and pick doctrines from a tree that can legalise fasting, cannibalism or the ritual sacrifice of your own believers. Dissent is handled by re-indoctrination or by execution. The four Bishops of the Old Faith who serve as the campaign's bosses are modelled on the Four Horsemen of Revelation, and Bishop is used as a deliberate borrowing of a real ecclesiastical office.
