Xbox Game Pass has become one of the most popular subscription gaming services on offer, largely thanks to its various unique features such as Day-One Releases and its hugely popular Free Play Days. Free Play Days are a staple of the service, allowing gamers to try out incredible games for free for a limited time.
In Xbox Game Pass's most recent Free Play Days announcement (via Xbox Wire), one of the best games of 2022 will be available to play entirely for free starting today, January 22. Cult of the Lamb is a twisted Stardew Valley-esque roguelike adventure that is one of four new games available to play until January 25.

It comes highly recommended among fans, with a 96% Steam user rating and an 82 Metacritic score.
Cult of the Lamb is described as a "cute 2D" action game where players literally build a cult following by destroying non-believers and recruiting fanatics to your cause, ultimately becoming the one true cult. The Xbox Game Pass Free Play Days trial version includes the Unholy Alliance expansion, which features cooperative multiplayer and tons of new content, such as new tarot cards, relics, buildings, and more.

If you haven't played Cult of the Lamb before and like what you see after trying it out, you can purchase it at a massive discount while the Free Play Days games are active this week, allowing you to carry over your progress and continue playing where you left off.
While Cult of the Lamb has been out for a few years now, Xbox Game Pass subscribers who haven't had the benefit of playing it yet will definitely want to take advantage of this free chance while they still can. Cult of the Lamb is essentially a twisted Stardew Valley-like experience, with incredible art design and hilarious gameplay ripe with dark humor.
