Cult of the Lamb - Preaching to the Converted

[@callsignenterprise6895]

Jon complains about the speed Jon cuts down trees. He did make him a turtle. They're slow. What he expect?

[@Sara-qd2zy]

Jon never fails to find a way to torment Claire. This game looks terrifying adorable

[@starvr]

Wait! I thought tormenting Claire was his full time job?

[@Sara-qd2zy]

@@starvr Many A Torment Claire

[@craigcollings5568]

Adorable, yes. Deserves to be famous.

[@ThePzwilson]

Jon: We need bones! How many can we harvest from our followers? Cult: We could do that, of course, your eminence, but... with respect, what if we used the bones of our *enemies*? Jon: Well, fine, I suppose that will do.

As if you didn’t call this ‘Bleating to the Converted’

[@razzmodan8428]

If I had a nickel for every indie game I've played where a mysterious man in the forest antagonized me and I tried to kill in retaliation whose name happened to be named leshy, I'd have 2 nickels! Which isn't a lot but it's wierd that it happened twice

[@Phoenix-vf4nd]

What the other game?

[@sotnosen95]

To be fair, the Leshy is a forest spirit/deity from Slavic mythology, so it's no surprise people use the name for mysterious forest-themed beings.

[@Electracion]

@@Phoenix-vf4nd Inscryption, great indy game you should look into it. That or if you prefer, Markiplier has a playthrough of it and Game Theory has a series of videos based on theories/lore from the ARG hidden in the game (and if the term ARG puts you off, Insryption does a really good job of standing on its own without the ARG).

[@alexanderhammil6754]

So Binding of Isaac meets Stardew Valley? Yeah, okay.

[@Mixxie67]

I totally thought Stardew Valley. I don't know the other one.

[@spooky_basil202]

@@Mixxie67 Jon’s got a video and a livestream of Isaac

[@Caldaris]

With a tiny bit of Don't Starve as well looking at the art style. At least if I am remembering that game correctly.

[@patricker113]

To be fair, Turtle Jon has no axe to chop down trees, he's punching them down lol. XD

[@torgranael]

This looks fun. The contrast between cheery city builder and gutting eldritch abominations works well. Can't wait for this to drop in 4 hours. Also can't wait for the live stream.

[@Branwhin]

This game is so absurdly, simultaneously adorable and grim. I love its sense of humour so very much. (and I am somewhat concerned about the game designers)

[@stevenvroom1041]

Ah yes, Giving Claire a necklace so she can worship you all night. Nothing to be seen here.

[@MangoMaraudr]

I didn't think I'd see Jon reassure a strange animal that everyone is dead, and then send them into the underworld via an evil portal today. But, now I have.

[@starvr]

Looks like someone else is looking forward to the live stream as well.

[@hannahgeraghty4201]

"Who watches Many A True Nerd at 1am?!" Me: "Oh boy, 1am!"

[@starvr]

Would 3:15am be OK? LOL

[@PoisonInc]

Been having a blast with this game so far. I named my cult "The Branch Lambidans". There was probably a funnier, smarter one to do but...

[@Scott_Forsell]

"Watering the crops without me needing to do it" is basically the main point of Stardew Valley. I much preferred petting my animal friends, fishing, and interacting with the bizarre townsfolk.

[@gurk_the_magnificent9008]

It’s the plot of the greatest movie ever made, Chronicles of Riddick

[@christopherbricker3805]

Love the cute animation style with disturbing horror undertones. looks like a fun game!

[@GldnClaw]

Happy tree Friends really set the standard for this sort of thing

[@jaywerner8415]

"Cult is a strong word, i prefer to call it a Club, where everyone is happy, cus they know what happens if they aren't." So basically WE HAPPY FEW, minus the drugs. Also that is literally what a Cult is Jon.

[@jazzyj7834]

The term cult literally just refers to a group with shared ideology which deviates from common beliefs, and contains its own traditions and/or behavior patterns. Culture derives from the same root word. Cult actually only started to be associated exclusively with evil suicide cults in the last century. Prior to then, it was not heavily used, but when used generally referred to smaller religious sects. Nowadays its' derogatory to refer to groups as cult-like, but its original meaning was actually quite harmless and almost a compliment.

[@jaywerner8415]

@@jazzyj7834 Thanks for the history lessen. And i do recall that being what a cult was, generally a small religious group of some sort. Indeed "cult-like" is certainly the modern interpretation, be it Political, Religious, or simply out of the ordinary groups. Like im sure the Church of Satan is probably considered a "Cult" rather then a religious group by most.

[@WulfRanger]

Now I have a cult of forest critters, I’ve even pre customized them so I know which to sacrifice first. All your fault

[@mayaxmaya]

This was such a fun video 😁 would love to see this come back in a livestream!

[@iain_nakada]

17:15 Tentacles appear. Jon: "Ooh, well that's exciting." Dry humour? Jon being oblivious? Place your bets.

[@SomeSentientCreature]

I am now going to use "Tutorial pleb" as an insult.

[@BandursnatchStudios]

I really hope you continue playing this for either videos or live streams!

"Once, in a land far away, on a beautiful day, On a wide grassy knoll, There was a cute little sheep, who was drifting to sleep, When the earth opened up... ... and swallowed him whole! Way down in the fiery lake, Lucifer had a lot at steak, But he wanted some lamb chops instead, and Shari Lewis wasn't dead, So he kidnapped some virgin wool, grabbed its soul and began to pull, But he never thought that the lamb he'd caught Would rebel and then conquer and rule. Now he's Fenton, Lord of the Inferno, Fenton, Demon King of the Dell, Fenton, eyes of flame, breath of Sterno, Fenton, Death Sheep from Hell. BAA-AA-AHH! He's right out of a storybook, but the signs are there if you know to look, Nasty moustache on his face, sheep are tenors, but this one's a bass, It's a nearly complete disguise, except for the fangs and the glowing eyes, If the lion lies down with the lamb, he'll be found In three pieces of varying size. Thanks to Fenton, Overlord of the Ovis, Fen-Tongue, does his breath ever smell. Fenton, chew some parsley or clove-is, Fenton, Death Sheep from Hell. He's a strategist and a conspirer, with a few dozen enemies' lists, And the Weekly World News and Enquirer are afraid to admit he exists. He's a devious mind without equals, and if you're convinced that I'm wrong, Take a look at the various sequels that I'm going to write to this song! Death Sheep from Hell is the first, you see, Who he is, how he came to be, Then it's done, but what can you do To stop the shear terror of Fenton 2? The story would not be complete Without Death Sheep 3: The Last Heart Bleat. Apparently killed, he comes back for more In the savage sequel, Death Sheep 4: Lamb of doom, baa-ba-baa-baa, baa-ba-baa-ba-baa, Lamb of doom, baa-ba-baa-baa, baa-ba-baa-ba-baa. After that one, we get to meet Olga, the one girl sheep to whom he is true, And their lovemaking gets pretty vulgah in Death Sheep 5: Ewe Devil, Ewe! But the forces of goodness are scheming to slay him and bring the world peace, And you'll spend nearly two hours screaming at Fenton 6: Rest in Fleece. And after it's over, he'll be in the cool earth, At rest in the clover... hmm. What is his wool worth? But don't think that Heaven is finally winning -- Watch for Death Sheep 7: A New Baa-Ginning! Starring Fenton, he's a cuddly disaster, Fenton, and I'm hoping he'll sell, Fenton, Dark Prince of the pasture, I'll send Spielberg an offer letter -- If he won't bite, a demonic sweater -- What could be better than Fenton, the Death Sheep from Hell! BAA-AA-AHH!" Sheep Marketing Ploy - Tom Smith

[@notaprinny]

Can’t believe Jon is playing *insert religion here* simulator. What a bold statement against *insert religion here.*

[@xanderellem3646]

That villainous intro monologue reminded me of happiness is mandatory...still need to play that.

[@CED99]

Super happy club. Where everyone is happy. All. The. Time.

[@starvr]

I'm just a couple of minutes in the video and I'm going to make a prediction here, I bet Jon is going to go down the Mr. Nice Guy route and kill everything in sight, including all his followers. LOL

[@Remoniq]

Looks a lot more fun than I thought it would be first time I learned about it.

[@asbestosfish_]

There’s an Animal Farm metaphor in here _somewhere,_ I’m sure.

[@rhiwright]

Animal Farm was a Russian revolution metaphor... so... ultimately, this game is about communism?

[@elijahh2220]

21:41 Anyone else see that rabbit foot a bit... wrong first?

[@CobbRocky]

Would absolutely love to see a KOTOR 2 play through! I need some more bang blitzson in my life 😁

[@davidferrer65]

Just finished it this week, the end was A letdown even with the restored content mod

[@mattevans4377]

So basically build a good cult to fight the bad cult. Unless of course there's a twist villain at the end.

[@shotgunshells2]

I think the twist is the Lamb is the villain.

[@maccurtis730]

A lamb that makes its enemies into lamb chops.

[@Ancusohm]

Yes! I was just saying that I hoped you would play this game!

[@exodore2000]

Reminds me a bit of Dark Cloud (or Chronicle).

[@SuperRedNovaDragon]

Im gonna see if this game is on the Box when i get home from work

[@aharkness5657]

Looks just like Cat Quest with a different theme.

[@MmKayUltra1]

Jon: 12:42 Are you okay there buddy?

[@matchgripmatchgrip3712]

Isn't anyone else getting a "Gravity Falls" vibe from this game???

[@pizzalord2333]

The best club game

[@leonrb8554]

Yay Jon at 1am!!!

[@djalexander968]

since alot of the game seems follower-based if you plan on doing this more try to focus on the new follower nodes aswell, idk if it was intentional but you missed like the first 2 or 3

[@SCh1m3ra]

Beep, beep, I'm a sheep.

[@sirstamfordraffles6557]

Bah-Bah. Long live the lamb.

[@zoidbergblank8819]

Or "Many a True Cultist"

Wake up, sheeple

[@maxibardi]

Love this Gravity Falls sequel

[@eddy1986]

Why did Jon call the dog a ..."turtle"?....

[@blarg2429]

British colloquialism. It's derived from the name of a popular breed over there.

[@LordRunolfrUlfsson]

Do you need to assign a minion to converting berries into prepared food?

[@Foxtrot369]

You can't assign followers to cook food, only you can do it. You can unlock & build crops to grow food but until you unlock & build a farm, you have to plant, water, fertilise & harvest the crops. Even then, the basic farm will only allow you to assign a follower to water crops, you'll need to unlock, build & fill the seed silo for them to plant seeds, then unlock & build the advanced farm for a follower to harvest crops. You'll also need to separately unlock, build & fill a fertiliser silo for followers to fertilise crops. Basically there are a whole bunch of steps you need to take to get your cult _mostly_ autonomous.

[@CloppingIsMyThing]

Brah I hate benefits that KZbinrs get sometimes. I want to play this game now not wait...

Baaaah!

Devolver is rapid firing these games out. They'll become a EA in no time. It's crazy how many smaller titles are published through them.

[@coltonwilkie241]

This game looks like the best game we've gotten all year. Elden Ring was fun, but lambs in a cult is just infinitely cooler.

Seeing Jon NEVER notice the "recycle" option for all his old equipped stuff is so annoying after he does it 3 times. You'd think I'd be used to his negative perception by now... but no, sometimes it's still annoying.
