WTMG's Oliver Shellding: "I feel The Hungry Lamb is for a specific audience, though I can’t quite align with whom that might be. It’s not thrilling enough to land in constant VN recommendations, it’s got uncomfortable relationships which will put most people off, and the endings never hit the high note that satisfies everything. The twists are pretty recognizable from a distance, the voice acting is good, the character designs are alright and the pacing is decent. So many things rubbed me the wrong way and it makes it very easy to delete it from my PC concluding the review. Dive in if you must because of morbid fascination, but you’ve been cautioned: it’s a downward spiral without anything to make the trip worthwhile."
CCG writes - "The Hungry Lamb Traveling in the Late Ming Dynasty is quite an experience. Because of the dark nature and human trafficking, it’s hard to recommend with a clean conscience. The developer's aim is to create a virtual reminder of the dark time in China during 1600-1630+. By remembering humanity's moral failures,"
