Lust for Darkness
Jonathan Moon receives a letter from his wife who has gone missing a year before. Following information from the message he heads for a secluded mansion where an eldritch, occult ceremony takes place. Gates to another world – the profane, perverse land of Lusst’ghaa are opened. TWO WORLDS Move in both a Victorian mansion and Lusst’ghaa – an alien dimension filled with otherworldly creatures. Lusst’ghaa used to be similar to our earth until the local beings decided to undergo total degeneration at their own wish. Through experiments they transformed their bodies so that they could never cease to experience carnal delights. Hundreds of years have passed since that metamorphosis and Lusst’ghaa is now a land overgrown with alien vegetation and full of monstrosities squirming in a never ending ecstasy.

I going to be honest and say this game is just okay at best. Lust from beyond was a much better game than this but it’s not terrible. It’s really short at about 3 1/2 hours long and probably less than an hour speed running it.
The story goes that your wife was kidnapped by a sex cult and you go to where she is held to save her. Along the way you find out there are portals to other universes and dark secrets to uncover.
The game doesn’t actually support controllers oddly enough being a game released in 2018. Thankfully the steam deck is a boss and converts all keyboard and mouse controls flawlessly to its controller scheme.
The graphics are pretty good and the gameplay is rather basic. There are no weapons and your only defense is running as stealth is not an option in most cases.
There is a boss towards the end of the game where to defeat him is a basic puzzle.
Also it’s not a porn game as some claim. There is sex scenes that are pretty intense but we all have seen similar things on TV so I don’t get why some people get so worked up about it. It’s an adult game and there are some things in the game that are very adult rated
Should you play it? Hmmmm maybe. It’s kind of bland but the 2nd game was really good so I’d you are interested in the series than yes but it. You could pass it tho and just play the 2nd game instead as your not really missing much back story.
I really with steam had a neutral option as the game isn’t so bad it’s gets a no but it’s also not so good it gets a yes.

TLDR: Good game, just don't pay full price.
The story is roughly 3.5 hrs long if you are watching all of the cut scenes and fully exploring the world. (30-45 mins if you just run through it for the achievements).
I found the story enjoyable and engaging. It is a gory and rather sexually explicit game but for me this really adds to the story immersion, you really feel like you are fighting against a crazy murderous sex cult.
The game consists of mostly walking around and exploring the story they have built for you, there is a a couple of puzzle solving elements which I felt didn't seem to track with the actual story narrative however it didn't feel like chore completing them. There were a few plot twists along the way to keep you invested and guessing.
The controls felt a little odd but you get used to this very quickly.
I personally wouldn't pay full price for this game (roughly £11) only reason for this is story length, if you catch it on sale for less than a fiver it is well worth it.

It is sexy.
It is scary.
It is atmospheric.
It is short.
It is ideal for a 3-4 hour experience.

Very interesting story, played the second one "lust from beyond" before I played this one and they really stepped it up in the second one. This one is cool for a back story but if you're going to buy one just get the sequel!

If you are looking into this game for it's erotic/sexual value you may be disappointed; this story is about a much deeper dive into sexuality and human pleasures and going beyond the mere sensations of sex. It is dark, it is often demented. The game play is relatively easy and straight forward, most will be able to breeze through it without much effort. Some chapters can be a head-scratcher on what you need to do to move on but just look everywhere for clues.
This is definitely a different type of story, enjoy the ride as you dive deeper into your own thoughts and beliefs.
Overall I would say this game is 7/10
