Info about Cult of the Lamb: Woolhaven: Official game description: _NOTE: The content of this expansion is only accessible near completion of the base game._ Winter descends, and a long-silenced deity stirs beneath the snow. Yngya, the forgotten God of the lambs, summons you to restore the flock and reclaim what time has erased. But as you breathe life into what long passed, a creeping Rot awakens, spreading corruption through the sacred mountain the lambs once called home… Not all who tread this peak come seeking redemption. Upon the frozen summit, a wolf prowls — his pack hungers for war with the covetous Gods. Deep within the hidden caverns, a shadowy figure waits, blade honed and patience fraying. Restless spirits drift along the ridges, each bound by former sins. The past was buried for good reason — will you unearth it, or will it consume you?
