Cult of the Lamb created by Massive Monster and Devolver Digital has captured the hearts of indie game enthusiasts. Since 2022, players have been drawn to the unique blend of colony simulation and roguelite gameplay offered by the game. Beneath its adorable and chaotic facade lies a dark tale of the occult and eternal servitude to a vengeful entity.

While the game hints at a deep narrative, the focus is primarily on growing a following and village. For those seeking more lore, Oni Press is set to release a Cult of the Lamb comic series. Recently, Game Rant had the opportunity to chat with writer Alex Paknadel and artist Troy Little about their creative process.

Meet the Masterminds

Alex Paknadel boasts an impressive portfolio, having worked with major comic publishers like DC, Marvel, and Image. His experience includes writing for popular video game adaptations such as Assassin's Creed and Little Nightmares. To get a taste of his style, Paknadel suggests checking out his All Against All miniseries. Interestingly, his interest in sacrificial themes coincided with his work on Cult of the Lamb.

Illustrating Paknadel's narrative is Troy Little, known for his work on Angora Napkin and other titles. Little's art style effortlessly captures the eerie essence of Cult of the Lamb, blending cartoonish elements with intricate, monstrous designs. Paknadel emphasizes the need for a fast-paced and intense storytelling approach, a task perfectly suited to Little's skills and genuine passion for the game.

The Perfect Partnership

Comics rely heavily on visuals to convey emotions and enhance storytelling. For the Cult of the Lamb comic, maintaining a consistent tone with the game is crucial. Paknadel believes that Little's artistry will evoke the necessary emotions to bring the Lamb's adventure to life.

With Paknadel and Little at the helm, the comic promises a thrilling blend of emotions and action. While not a direct adaptation of the game's gameplay mechanics, the comic will delve deep into the game's narrative, offering a fresh perspective on the world of Cult of the Lamb. Fans can look forward to the comic's release in December, with preorders available on Oni Press' Kickstarter page.
