Day 560 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing
-
Today’s game is some more Cult of the Lamb. A lot of these screenshots were taken with the photo mode. I’m taking a photography class right now, partly for fun, partly so I can take better screenshots. So that was some practice for rule of 3rds and PowerPoints.
I’ve been trying to collect followers for the most part today. I figured the more followers, the more stable of a community I can build. I let this older guy in specifically. He can’t do any sort of labor, but he’s chill so he can stay.
He brought with him two more followers soon after that were sick. I’m not one to turn away people I can so easily help, so I built them some beds and got them some rest. I had to isolate one guy because he snores but besides that they’re resting now as we speak.
Someone yesterday mentioned this game can kind of make you swallow your morals, so i got the idea to try and do this as morally as possible. Though, now that I think about it, if my morality is spurred by me doing a challenge, am I the morally just one or is it simply the challenge motivating me with psychological gain?
So far the most evil thing I’ve done is trick someone into eating a bowl of shit at another follower’s request. These things have kind of been escalating, so I hope I don’t get asked to kill another follower, but we’ll see.
I ended off my day with some nice relaxing gardening. My followers were heading off to sleep so I tried to help out by watering crops and mining some stuff. I also tore up a path I wasn’t too fond off.
Been on the fence for this game for a while but not too sure what it's about exactly. From what I gather it has a part that is pure roguelike combat, something similar to Hades, and there is another management part where you grow your community. It's that so? Is the combat fun and satisfying like in Hades or is more like a filler?

Oh hell ye. I‘ve been eyeing this game for a long time. Imma ask you how you like the game once you‘ve clocked in more hours. Are you planning to 100% it?
I picked up a steam deck just before the holidays and this was one of the first few games i played on it and across 4-5 weeks i put nearly 50 hours into it. It's so fun/addicting i couldn't put it down.
One of the best parts, for me, is under accessibility settings you can turn off damage and magic drain making you immortal wth endless magic in the combat side of things. As someone who isn't the biggest rogue-like fan this was perfect. As couple stress free dives for resources and advancing the story then right back to my silly little farm for hours.

Combat is fun and similar to Hades but not quite as deep. That said the community management aspect is a big part of the game so if you're not into that you might struggle, there's a lot of deciding what to build / talking to your cult.

Oh my, so much (accidental) foreshadowing in
your post. I hope you enjoy the ride, our cult ended up with some rather ... debatable ethics despite never indulging much in the more perverse and outright evil practices. -

That said, my boyfriend and I made our entire cult out of cats.

I know the rule of thirds, but what are powerpoints? DDG is of no help
I'm not into photography so I could be mistaken. But from what I've gathered, power points are the four points where the lines intersect in the rule of thirds (or the four corners of the middle box). Supposedly the eye is drawn to these four points of an image.

I opened the game and the first thing that came to my mind was "let's see how close I can get to a literal blood and sex cult".
Not that close, I found out.
Or at least, a very tame version of it.

I would've loved to see this game come out back then. The pearl clutching would've probably broken a few knuckles.

It's a Hades rogue-like and a colony management game. But it's not deep on either front.
The combat and rogue elements don't come close to a dedicated rogue-like game as Hades.
The colony management doesnt come close to the depth of a dedicated management game.
It is centred around the novelty of a taboo: managing and dictating a cult. There are plenty of little things to do besides the two pillars of the game, but it doesn't take long for you to have "seen it all".
Mind you, this doesn't mean the game isn't fun. But it's very light on its individual gameplay mechanics compared to dedicated games.

Yeah even just the potential for "pure" follower aesthetics (aka eugenics) to satisfy our sense of order is so fucked up if you think about it.

I've been enjoying it a lot. i've been struggling a bit with ethics after some followers have been asking for various things. One wanted me to sacrifice another follower, which i turned down, another asked me to sacrifice them, which i also turned down.
Then there was a dissenter which wanted to leave. The game told me my only option was to talk them out of it, put them in prison, or let them go. I chose to let them go and the asshole stole some of my gold which i'm not too pleased about. So far though i've kept a pretty clean moral slate (outside the bowl of shit)

It may have been a colloquial thing my teacher used, but with Rule of Thirds it's basically where the grid lines intersect, at least, if i understood right. A bit embarrassing but i was out of it for that class due to how early it is

I was considering 100%ing it, at least as far as Steam Achievements are concerned. I find they're a good metric to measure whether you've explored all the interesting sides of a game, at least when they're done right. I saw though the DLC achievements are bundled in with the main game. It's trivial but it has kind of put me off 100%, at least until i get the DLC that is

That's basically how i'd summarize it. I like the Combat, it's far easier than Hades though, as it feels far less focused on repeat loops. I have died maybe a total of twice, and i'm someone that doesn't really touch Roguelikes

Cool, thanks!

Yeah, that DLC thing is custom for Steam, they‘re ALWAYS bundled with the main game, there’s no way for devs to not to, it‘s the biggest downside to hunting on Steam.

Yeah. It’s one of the things I miss most about playing on PlayStation. I wish separating main game and DLC was more common
