“I love it when I sacrifice people because they don’t work or give me money anymore”
“I’ve run out of the bones of my enemies. I need them to sacrifice my followers”
“How much the devil pays for the sacrificial flesh depends on supply and demand”
I have a :stop-posting-amogus: feeling about that game. Partly because I'm weird and it gives me bad vibes to have something cute but also violent and related to cults and devils. Part of why I don't like Helluva Boss, it feels very nihilistic. At least Binding of Isaac had an undercurrent of satire that made it work but the lamb game just seems very "ooh, cute but violent, bet you haven't seen that before! Is that by itself clever?!"
Also furries keep trying to get me to play it because my avatar on certain websites is a goat so the assume I must love all things goat and sheep related.
I like the Hello Kitty style aesthetic of it though, even if cute but violent has been done to death.
I have not played the game but i assume that since the leader is a lamb, and Jesus is frequently refered to as the "lamb of god", in the sense of being a blood sacrifice, I assume it contains a great deal of satire of religion.
It is very much a a religious satire, specifically of Christianity. The game play however is just ok. I put maybe ten hours into it before I moved on to something else.
Fair enough, I tend to get board relatively quickly or super obsessed. Most of my have either under ten hours or over 100 hours played.
I'll admit I haven't watched much but what I did gave me bad vibes. Mayhaps I'll give it another shot.
Now that I'm remembering it, the little of it I saw was them killing a child then dumping the corpse in the mom's arms for a laugh, making fun of homeless people, and convincing a man to kill himself, and liberal use of the word ret*rd. I think my vibe about it being mean spirited and purile was correct.
Now Smiling Friends, I like that one. It took me a long time to realize the guy that sounds like he has a stuffy nose isn't Oney.
