I can't run the game on Linux. I know it is not officially supported but usually games work out of the box with gog+lutris but cult of the lamb does shows some animation of a publisher or so (smth with monster) and then only a black screen but some cracked sound...
I whish I could play this game.
When I first heard and saw the game on TikTok it seemed great with the devs responding to the fanbase and a great art style. I then made the decision to buy the game on ps4 and spend some good time playing it. However upon beating the second boss and making further progression the loading screen froze and couldn't load. I thought the problem could be fixed with a simple closing of the game but it couldn't do that, with the only option being restarting it. After turning it back on, the game wiped my save file and I had to start from scratch, this happened a second time as I thought it was a one-time thing. Put simply don't buy it if you don't like your save getting wiped.
Well, actually it's not my *first* first impression. My housemate owns the game on the Switch, and her boyfriend had played it further than her. The game seems to be a competent roguelike dungeon crawler, with a killer theme, mixed up with a micomanagement sim that seems to get more grindy and less fun as time goes on. But, I thought it looked worth picking up, on sale, and supporting GoG releases. So, I bought it, installed it, ready to have a decent time with it.
Unfortunately, now I don't really want to play it. The game begins by playing a cinematic, which at first seems like it's delivering exposition and showing you what kind of craziness you're in for. Instead, it then reveals itself to be a 2 minute TRAILER for some of the DLC.
Before you even get to control a character, the game simply lists all the features you won't be seeing.
Fortunately, the game doesn't show this to you again, but unfortunately, it's not even streamed from the internet. It's just a video you see once, taking up space on your SSD, whose only purpose is to let you know you bought the game wrong.
Oh, and of course, there's a link in the title screen, prominently displayed where it's difficult to tune out, to the store page where you can buy this DLC.
Can we not just buy a game, actually try it first, then decide for ourselves if we want to look for more content?
Honestly, screw this practice. I had enough pre-show trailers from 90s VHS to last me a lifetime. There's absolutely no need for them today.
