  • Deception (90%)
    The article is deceiving in several ways. Firstly, it claims that the update adds 'sex' to Cult of the Lamb but this is not entirely accurate as there are no explicit sexual acts depicted or described in the game. Secondly, while there are new forms of poop and other waste products added to the game, they do not have any significant impact on gameplay beyond providing resources for crafting items. Thirdly, while some followers may become injured due to accidents or mishaps during activities such as drinking at the Drinkhouse or engaging in certain rituals, this is not a deliberate attempt by the developers to deceive players into thinking that their followers are being harmed intentionally.
    • The article claims that 'Engadget In some scenarios, you’ll need to designate specific followers to receive Sin — but be careful not to go overboard. Once a follower has taken on too much Sin, they’ll become damned and will leave the cult.' However, this is not entirely accurate as there are no consequences for assigning sin points to specific followers beyond affecting their overall standing within the game.
    • The article claims that 'Sin can be spent on follower experiences — yes, including sex — and temple decorations.' However, there is no explicit sexual content in the game. Instead, players must complete certain tasks or rituals to earn sin points which can then be used to purchase items such as clothing for their followers.
    • The article mentions that 'Engadget Engadget My followers, wasted off Brog Brew, keep getting into fights that I have to break up.' However, this is not a deliberate attempt by the developers to deceive players. Instead, it is simply an unintended consequence of allowing followers to consume alcohol which can lead them to become more aggressive or argumentative.
