Recommend ☑ The story is interesting, good graphics, fun ending , I think its worth a play through.
Note: Don't buy this game for sexual-content, it's not "that" kind of game.
It's a decent horror with sometimes disturbing visuals. I personally found most it disgusting rather then scary, but there where some scary parts also. I will attach a good guide for this game, it's comprehensive, with pictures. Do try to only use it when you're stuck otherwise you may spoil the story for yourself.
Lust for Darkness Guide

Right, I just want to preface this review by saying that unfortunately I managed to play the sequel to this - Lust from Beyond - before playing this, which in hindsight was not a good idea. Although Lust for Darkness is not a pre-requisite to playing Lust from Beyond, it certainly "paints the picture" in a more detailed manner when you do play Lust from Beyond. I wish I had played Lust for Darkness first - that would have massively improved my experience with Lust from Beyond (which was a 10/10 experience anyways). Anyways, enough about Lust from Beyond and more about Lust for Darkness.
Honestly, this game felt lacklustre and I managed to complete the whole main story in 2 hours. I see now that this game is merely a short introduction to what you will see in the sequel, Lust from Beyond. The game also had a lot of performance issues - despite me being on a RTX 2070 Super - like stuttering, falling through the floor into the eternal abyss for no reason, etc. Problems which I did not have on the sequel. I think the price is a bit steep considering the amount of content - lack thereof - you get in this. Especially when you again, compare it to Lust from Beyond, which cost almost the same amount and I got 8-12 hours out of that game before completing the main story.
With all that said, if you enjoy the lore, this is a must get. I am eagerly awaiting a third iteration of "Lust for ....." and I hope it will not be very long until we get another one. The series is very well made and the lore is captivating!

To begin with, this is not a sex game; this is a great horror game which focuses on the lore and story. I believe developers really love movies because not only you can see that on their name, but also this game opens up with a scene that looks like American Beauty, and if Stanley Kubrick wanted Eyes Wide Shut (not to mention the name of an achievement which proves this) to be a horror movie, It would exactly be something like the story of this game. Gameplay wise this is a walking simulator that sometimes requires you to solve some easy puzzles within it. There are some great jump scares and chase scenes and the story is good so you won't get bored.
Again I recommend you to play this game as a HORROR game.

Not enough horror for a horror game imo.
For 2 bucks, the price i bought it for... yeah sure, go for it. Don't play it around your mother though.

Lust for Darkness is an interesting concept of a horror game, exploring themes of the occult and erotica. I'd say it does both well, with neither being over the top. Thus, don't expect a porn game because it's really not. It does however feature both nudity and disturbing imagery of sex, violence and monsters.
The story is your standard horror setting, you are looking for your missing/kidnapped wife and that leads you to a big mansion. There your goal is essentially, find out what is going on and rescue your wife. That's about it. There's some side stories relating to the lore of the game which you can find here and there, that's about the most interesting part.
Gameplay is very much a walking simulator with "escape from monster" elements. Not necessarily bad as it works quite well for both the game itself and storywise. There's reasonable puzzles and the stealth sections are actually doable. Only thing I did not like is the ways doors are opened, but that's a minor issue.
In conclusion, it's a decent game recommended if you enjoy this type of games. Not the best horror game I've played, but definitely better than most jump scare asset flip games out there. Looking forward to play the sequel, Lust from Beyond.

It's weird how someone could come up with an idea of turning sweet delicious sex into something so macabre and gross. I mean I really dig the concept of another dimension where the only things that remain are perversion and lust - must be pretty fun if it's all in human form. But this? This was just hands down repulsive, I dunno what you gotta smoke to come up with deformed alien porn like that. I'm not complaining because I actually liked some parts of the story to an extent, but it's just bizarrely made, and the monster chases felt quite out of place. In any case, it's a trip alright but a pretty short one - the game is over before you know it. As for the bang for your buck, it doesn't really bang (pun intended) at 15 bucks. Grab it on sale or in a bundle or something, then it could be worth it.

Yeah um, really neat little game! Really nice visuals, It was worth the $20. I don'rt really get why people had an issue with the ending, or why this is a mixed review game? but I liked it! Just don't go in expecting anything revolutionary or anything?
Oh also pro tip, the sneak feature is useless, don't bother. Just sprint and walk.
