Cult of the Lamb’snext big update sees itcrossing overwith the indie megahitDon’t Starve Together. It’s a great fit in many ways. Both games include adark-yet-cute aesthetic, and they both have an art style that depicts 2D objects in a flat, 3D world.
The main thing to know is that in order to access the new content, you’ll need to recruit Webber, who was a playable character inDon’t Starve. To get Webber, you’ll need to kill spiders in your base. While crushing spiders, there’s a chance for a skull to appear. If you bury this skull in a grave, Webber will appear as a follower.
Recruiting Webber unlocks new decor for your compound. These items will be familiar to anyone who playedDon’t Starve, and are as follows:
Recruiting Webber also unlocks Penitence Mode, which becomes available when starting a new game. This is a modifier that adds features inspired byDon’t Starve. Specifically, this adds hunger, sleep, and shackles you to permanent death to make them really mean something. This means that, when you get hungry or sleepy, you’ll need to return your lamb back to camp to rest and grab something to eat. If you’re in the middle of a crusade, you may have to abandon your progress (and some of your collected resources) to return quickly for a snack.
Finally, a quickstart mode has been added, as well as some new songs for theCult of the Lambsoundtrack.
