After the recent Paranoid, Madmind Studio is already gearing up for its next title; this time, it’s Lust of God. Yes, sexy detectives would be right in concluding that this is a sequel to Lust from Beyond and the earlier Lust for Darkness.
I have a soft (or hard) spot for the series – a Lovecraft-inspired first-person horror with boobs and bums, created by Movie Games. In the most recent title, the goal was to summon Lauv’abrarc – the God of Ecstasy, and in this third instalment, he’s arisen.
An unexpected turn of events occurs, and the military gets involved, launching nuclear weapons at the god, thus creating a closed zone of mutations. Cue the Cult of Ecstasy, who use these events to transform their bodies for pleasure. In Lust of God, you play a young woman experiencing these transformations and hearing the voice of Lauv’abrarc.
Key features include:
- Personal, deep story infused with horror
- Disturbing atmosphere blending psychosis with surrealism
- Bold erotic themes in a horror setting
- Terrifying enemies to confront
- Gory executions
- Logical puzzles
- Elaborate ASMR system “voices of ecstasy” you hear in your head
- World inspired by the works of Lovecraft, Giger, and Beksiński.
