Background

The Lamb is the main protagonist and the only playable character in Cult of the Lamb.

Inspired by the use of the lamb throughout religion as a symbol of the holy and noble, the player starts the game as an innocent and powerless sacrificial lamb, about to be offered to a dark and violent deity. But through the game, the lamb's morals twist and corrupt, transforming them from a virtuous creature to a deadly and power-hungry cult leader.

Though the true personality is left up to the player, Lamb does show some distinctive traits while growing and maintaining the cult. Lamb's actions and nature can range from an anti-villainous visionary to a power-hungry monster. Given how the player manages the cult, both benevolent and evil actions can be performed on or with the help of the followers. Though Lamb does not speak during gameplay, the Lamb is still shown to have some form of charisma when interacting with followers.

Because the faith of the followers must be managed carefully, it is necessary to meet their needs. This can include making sure they are well-fed, are given the proper healthcare when they get sick, given blessings to make them happier, or by giving sermons and performing certain rituals that can improve happiness and other needs. Lamb can also provide better and better living conditions by building and upgrading sleeping bags and outhouses. More malevolent acts Lamb can perform include simply denying the needs of the followers, sacrificing a follower during a ritual, putting an innocent follower in prison (though this act is a bit more justified in the case of a dissenter), sending others on missions where their chance of survival is dangerously low and even forcing someone to eat a bowl excrement.

The doctrines that the player chooses can influence what rituals are available and which actions can provide negative or positive consequences. For example, the cannibal doctrine causes all Cult members will gain the Cannibal Trait. The cannibal trait gives followers +5 Faith when eating Minced Follower Meat and removes the 75% chance of causing illness.

If the player chooses, Lamb can also do side quests for followers, which may include gathering specific resources or even rescuing a loved one during a crusade. Successfully performing these side quests will greatly increase a follower's loyalty, but denying the quest altogether will diminish faith. Note that some of these side quests may include playing pranks on one follower for the sheer amusement of another.
