How it plays
Player two joins as a goat who fights alongside the lamb on crusades and helps run the cult back at base.
It is local only on one shared screen, which suits couples and siblings on the same sofa; on Steam, Remote Play Together can stream it to a friend, and the Switch 2 Edition supports GameShare.
The cartoon art covers dark themes like ritual sacrifice that parents may want to check first.
