In August 2022, an action game with roguelike elements titled Cult of the Lamb debuted on PCs and consoles. The game allowed us to take on the role of the titular lamb building its own cult from scratch. It quickly gained recognition from fans and industry media. After some time, the independent studio behind it, Massive Monster, prepared a story expansion titled Woolhaven.

New features in the expansion

Cult of the Lamb: Woolhaven introduces a new storyline. At its center is a forgotten sheep goddess named Yngya, who asks for our help in rebuilding her flock and restoring life to the mountain where she resides. Things get complicated when our lamb discovers that the creatures inhabiting the peak and residing in two new dungeons (naturally waiting to be explored) have been corrupted by decay hidden beneath the snow.

New threats

Speaking of snow, the weather conditions on the mountain pose a real threat to us. In addition to powerful blizzards, extremely low temperatures can also lead to our demise. There are also new enemies, including a wolf leading a pack, a dark creature inhabiting the local caves, and finally, ghosts roaming the icy ridges.

Buildings and farming

The expansion also introduces new buildings that allow members of our cult to keep warm. Furthermore, the DLC brings the ability to run a farm where we raise animals that provide wool and warmth, as well as meat that helps us survive the toughest times. We can also ride these animals and use them as mounts.

Technical aspects

Cult of the Lamb: Woolhaven is a non-standalone expansion, so it requires the base version of the game Cult of the Lamb.

Woolhaven has reignited my passion for this charming yet dark and twisted rogue-lite. The DLC expansion has introduced a fresh dimension to the game, offering significantly more content to explore and enjoy. The expanded lore captivated my interest, and the storytelling was engaging. With a blend of wholesome and darker elements, this experience was truly memorable.

GameSpew: 8 / 10 by Kim Snaith

Massive Monster has nailed the concept of DLC with Woolhaven: it gives fans of Cult of the Lamb more of what they love, but with enough of a refresh that it feels notably different. This is a substantial expansion, adding dozens of hours worth of new content, and with not only new dungeons to overcome but new ways to interact and grow your cult, it's a must-play for anyone who enjoyed the base game.
