Cult of the Lamb built a replica of the Lamb's temple and officiated two genuine weddings at PAX Australia

Two followers enter the Mating Tent.

Indie cult simulator Cult of the Lamb appeared at PAX Australia on October 11 - October 13. But, rather than having a booth that allows anyone passing by to play for a while and get a taste of what it's like to be a cult leader, the teams at Devolver Digital and Massive Monster decided to do things a little differently. Instead, an 8-meter replica of the in-game temple where the lamb delivers daily sermons and performs rituals was built, and two couples were officially married there on Sunday. 

The official Cult of the Lamb X account tweeted in April asking if any of their followers would be willing to get married at the event, and the response to that single tweet was overwhelming. According to the Cult of the Lamb account, the tweet received hundreds of applications from couples willing to tie the knot at the temple, but only two couples were chosen. The thought of applying definitely crossed my mind when I first saw the tweet, but after seeing the price of flights to Australia alone, it quickly dawned on me that it would probably be cheaper to build a temple and start my own cult.
