Cozy roguelike game Grimoire Groves has drawn a lot of comparison to Cult of the Lamb: both are colorful games that put a twist on the usual roguelike format and include elements of other genres, such as building, crafting, and farming. Grimoire Grovesbegan development prior to Cult of the Lamb's release, meaning the latter game did not serve as a direct inspiration, but it gave the developers confidence that their concept of a combat-free roguelike game could be embraced by players.
