The One Who Waits - Cult of the Lamb

Throughout the game, there is a complicated relationship with death. Despite the ability to die on a dungeon run, there is little consequence of this death. The lamb still comes back to the cult and lives to try again. From a personal perspective, death means very little to the lamb. At the same time, this is combined with the second part of the game’s structure - the cult management part. On your dungeon crawl, you encounter various forest creatures who are being sacrificed to the various bishops. You can save them, and in doing so bring them into your cult. There, you can put them to work for the cult, they worship you, and you take care of their needs. Over time, they grow old and die. Or they are sacrificed and die. Or they go on a mission to get things for the cult and die in the process.
