How co-op works
Local co-op allows a second player to drop in as a follower, helping with combat encounters and dungeon runs while the first player retains primary control over the cult's base management and progression.
About this game
Cult of the Lamb combines action-focused dungeon crawling with cult management simulation. As a possessed lamb saved from slaughter, you venture into procedurally generated regions to gather resources, recruit Followers, and build a loyal community back at your campsite. The game balances fast-paced combat and exploration with the slower rhythm of base building, resource gathering, and keeping your flock faithful.

Dungeon runs rely on roguelite combat with various weapons and curses, while back at camp you construct buildings, perform rituals, assign tasks, and maintain follower loyalty. Local co-op lets a second player join combat sections -controlled follower brought to life, adding firepower during boss fights and exploration without splitting management duties.
Progression unlocks new abilities, structures, and doctrines that shape your cult's identity. Each run feeds back into base improvements, encouraging repeated ventures into the wilderness. The loop between action and management, plus the option to share dungeon segments cooperatively, gives the game broad replay appeal for solo and couch co-op sessions alike.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does local co-op work in Cult of the Lamb?
A second player can join during the dungeon crawling and combat sections, controlling a follower who fights alongside you. Co-op is local only and focuses on the action portions-base building and cult management remain single-player, so you'll share the adventuring but not the day-to-day camp decisions.
Can both players manage the cult together?
No, cult management stays in the hands of the first player. The second player joins as a combat companion during dungeon runs and boss fights, but building structures, performing rituals, and assigning follower tasks are handled solo.
Does Cult of the Lamb support online co-op?
The game supports local couch co-op and shared-screen play natively. You can also use Steam Remote Play Together to stream the local session to a friend online, though that's a workaround rather than dedicated online matchmaking.
Is the co-op split-screen or shared-screen?
Both players share the same screen during co-op. There's no split-screen mode-you stay on one view together as you explore dungeons and fight enemies.
