The composer for Cult of the Lamb, Narayana Johnson, known as River Boy, recently passed away. Massive Monster, the developer, honored him through a heartfelt statement acknowledging his invaluable contributions to the game.
Johnson served as the audio director, creating the musical soundtrack and the voices for various in-game villagers in Cult of the Lamb, which is celebrated among roguelike enthusiasts.
This unique game revolves around a religious cult of anthropomorphic animals who perform sacrifices to an ancient deity to gain mysterious powers. Players engage in battles within randomly generated rooms while collecting resources to build and upgrade their homestead.
In remembrance, Massive Monster encouraged fans to listen to the soundtrack in tribute to Johnson, asking for sympathy and patience as the development team mourns. The circumstances of his passing were not publicly shared. Fans are left wondering who, if anyone, will replace him in future developments related to Cult of the Lamb.
Massive Monster has not yet revealed any upcoming projects, focusing currently on patches and updates for Cult of the Lamb, which originally launched in 2022.
