The Cult of the Lamb is a massive hit with Massive Monster, but the community is struggling to beat its bugs.
The Cult of the Lamb was such a hit with Massive Monster that it even ditched Spider-Man on launch day, but has since come under fire from the community for its buggy release.

If you held a sermon or ritual in a temple, for example, you probably only invited six of your flock. This may sound like a design choice, but the gameplay and PC game trailers show more followers in the temple at once. The problem with only six people entering the temple is that missions can be broken because some require you to perform rituals on certain non-playable characters which you can’t do unless they come to the temple when summoned. The best solution now is to marry whoever you want, and force them out.
