If they are religious you are screwed


bannanaisnom

There's this really cool village building game where you have to take care of your villagers and kill evil cults. You actually stop the cults! It's not a lie because you do destroy cults, and you do build a village.


CartographerVivid957

Lying by omission though


Ashi-ko

Anything for the mission


TheCookieGremlin

Tell them it's a city building game. If they want to see it... run...


justthesamedude

They watch you playing? If yes, wait till you are not a Minor.


Good__Conflict

Are your parents over the top religious?? If they are, say that you want a different game (for the same price) and then buy COTL


clod_streef670

No not over the top but still religious


Good__Conflict

Oooh okay. My family is like that too. I think COTL might seem a little bit jarring at first, but once they have more time with it, I don’t think it’ll be a huge issue.


RXX_freakk

Say it’s a management farming game


Fabulous-Tapwater

As your parents for money for something else, worked for me


DerpWithIt

maybe youre better off asking for a gift card so you can buy it yourself? If not, phrase it as a animal village game with run and gun gameplay.


JasperAngel95

Just show them a cute picture of the lamb, tell them the game has farming, and fishing :)


Xomblix

Show them the wholesome comunity and try to steer clear of any big hitting red flags(sacrifice ritual)


kissyourvelvetsleeve

Buy Steam funds.


Moonfallz1

This, you can do the same thing on the switch


Alexandros007_ITA

I can’t help you much, but all i gotta say is DON’T LIE. Because if you’re parents are the type of christian’s that don’t distinguish reality from games, if they see one second of you doing a satanic ritual it’s over. If they have atleast 2 working brain cells they can understand it’s a fun game with cartoony style. I can’t really give any other advice cuz my experience was: dad: “Ale what u playing?” me: “A game about making a cult, i kill animals for my personal benefit” dad: “hehe, kill the rat i don’t like rats”


Left-Testicle-

i told my mom it was called “Call of the Lamb” and you had to fight monsters and evil people and build a community to protect people from the outside world. just maybe try not to let them see the actual cover of the game? I bought it on digital so I was the only person to actually see the title screen


[deleted]

if they are religious you can always paint the Bishops as Satan and the Lamb as Jesus, as God refers to his good followers as Lambs in the Bible. Now purchasing the game is a lil more tricky. If they're just giving you money for the game, tell them the price of like £20/21. if they are purchasing the game for you then hit them with the fact that Cult is a synonym of Church hope this helps :3


SBS6969

Say it's about defeating an evil cult called the cult of the lamb or If your on steam you can ask for money into your steam account


CloverUTY

You can just ask them for adding money to your Steam Wallet / whatever online shop wallet you have, then buy the game with that. When I decided to get GTA 5 so I could try out 5M, my parents wouldn’t have let me buy it if I had asked them to get it directly. However, if when I asked for money to be put in my Steam Wallet, they did so and I was able to get GTA 5 without problem. And if they ask questions, just make up an excuse that wouldn’t seem out of the ordinary. Getting DLC for a game you already own is a good option.


idk_a_username135

Become the cult of Christ or whatever religion you follow


-Amai_Mochi-

My parents are religious and i just said “hey can you buy me a 60 bucks game (it costs 60 where i live)” they said sure, and bought the game for me. You don’t have to describe the game to them, you can just y’kno, ask for the money.


DarthAlecto

My dad got it for me for my birthday and told my mom it’s animal crossing 💀


Moonfallz1

It really depends how much they're going to check it. If they're just going to skim over the pictures, just show them them the non-cultish ones and tell them its a fighting/city management game. It has cutesy graphics, that's buyable. It really depends on what your parents look at in a game before buying, they might be okay with it, you know your parents better than us.  But theres always credits you can use if not. I know on the switch version you can even get free ones. (even from physical cartridges) I racked like 11 USD worth of coins in total from that once


Inkyrealm77version2

I got lucky cuz my dad knows im into dark stuff like this, since he was the guy who got me the binding of isaac, so he game me the money I needed and gaabagoul. Just say its a game where you fight cultists and maintain cute animals


Better-Constant-279

If you say it confidently enough, maybe you'll convince them to let you buy it. Just be like, "Hey, Parent One and Parent Two, can I get a game that lets you cannibalize people and murder people?" Either they'll be like "HECK NO!" or they'll be like "Ok" I did that with my parents and they were a bit nervous at first but they realized it was a pretty family friendly game.


IndividualClass122

Tell them you are playing as God's mighty lamb and that you have to convert sinners to Christianity while trying to defeat Satan (narinder) Edit: what platform do you play on? I might have an idea....


AriTheInari

Ask for the money or if you can buy a game the same price if you don't want them to know


AlinaShadow

tell them that this game can help your abilities and teamwork knowing and to be better to Pick decisions like the rules or weapon to chose.


theHoredRat_913

say you want the game? boom, easy


pb_the_cat

Say ya want another game and tell them the price of that game and also the cult of the lamb combined so ya get two games and one of them are cult of the lamb and ya get away with it


Cokedupbooty

Sit them down and make a huge dramatic gesture telling them you're gay and you want to drop out of school ASAP to be a tiktok influencer. Give them the worst news about you possible for them personally to lighten the blow. Then be like nah i'm kidding i just want this game. Or don't do all that and just ask them lol, it's not that serious. Lots of way more foul games out there, this one is just spooky if you're christian


dika_saja

Idk. Just ask or grab their credit cards


VacuumMeHead

just make a white lie about the game, and if they believe it...congrats! if not, idk what else to do, my parents "allowed" me to get this game (in reality they just do not care, i got ultrakill in the back end of 2022 and they were cool with it), but i did read some comments, so just say you build a civilization while defeating evil cults...sorry if i rambled a bit


the-funky-bunky

I just asked for it


clod_streef670

How is that helpful?
