The audio director of indie hit Cult of the Lamb, Narayana Johnson, has passed away. 

Developer Massive Monster revealed the news in a post on the game's official subreddit with a heartfelt message saying how much Johnson would be missed. There's no word as to cause of death just yet. 

"It’s impossible to describe how much of a void he is leaving at Massive Monster, and how much his absence will be felt. He was more than our audio director; he was a creative powerhouse, he was a friend, and he was our silly little guy," Massive Monster wrote. 

"From the first note of music to the voice of every single Follower, Narayana is woven into the soul of Cult of the Lamb. The game and the studio wouldn’t be what it is, and won’t be the same, without him.

"Narayana would want you to take a moment to look at nature, to touch your feet to the earth. He would want you to listen to his music and remember how much it meant to him to share it with you all.

"The team needs some space and some kindness in this difficult time. We’re a small team, and we’re all feeling the loss. Thank you for understanding."
