Much like Garth Marenghi’s Darkplace , Cult of the Lamb ’s team of artists knows video games that use subtext with their cover art are cowards because this cover art is exactly as advertised on the tin: Those lambs sure are partaking in recreational cultish activities. Despite the undeniable cuteness of its cult-following anthropomorphic characters, this art piece is teeming with menacing energy. By simply using three colors: white, black, and red to contrast the two, Cult of The Lamb ’s box art perfectly encapsulates how the game skirts the line by having cute animals do some fucked up witchcraft.
