Lust for Darkness (2018)
Jonathan Moon receives a letter from his wife who has gone missing a year before. Following the 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.

Press Quotes
“I played an alpha build of Lust for Darkness awhile ago and it was actually kind of interesting: Visually reminiscent of Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs, but more interactive and a lot more sexed up.” PC GAMER “Lust for Darkness looks like it’s shaping up to be a lovely horror adventure, the themes and general tone something that seem to go hand in hand very well indeed.” 5/5 – Geek Syndicate
