Cult of the Lamb is really interesting because the flaws are so evident that every person that plays the game picks up on them, yet the hook is so addicting that you keep playing despite them. The initial premise is quite strong, half town sim, half rougelike with a really great artstyle that sells the tone they’re going for. But both concepts are not taking far enough and about halfway through it feels pretty repetitive. The devs smartly made the days feel about five minutes long though so you always have something to do in town, and you lose faith so fast while on dungeon runs you have to spend at least two days raising it back up when you return. But the town management is quite fun, seeing your numbers incrementally raise up every day so I didn’t hate the time I spent with the game. Unfortunately as the town grows, performance just got worse and worse for me (switch handheld) and there were frequent bugs and crashes as well.
