A psychological horror of seeking satisfaction on the border of two intertwining worlds. An intruguing plot with erotic and occult themes guides the player's character through the Yelvertones' victorian mansion and a perverse land inspired with Lovecraft's works and paintings of Zdzisław Beksiński.

Digitally DownloadedMatt SainsburyJun 20185/5 starsI'm so delighted to say that Lust For Darkness is the real deal. The fact that I can compare it to one of the greatest erotic thrillers of all time in Eyes Wide Shut, and not break down laughing, is in itself is a great credit to the developers. The game lacks the sheer mastery and refinement that Stanley Kubrick had over his canvas, but this is still leagues ahead of the clumsy, overly-simple idea of "horror" that most game developers aspire to.

GameSkinnyTy ArthurJun 20187/10 starsThis is more a one and done story, but its a story that's well worth experiencing first hand, even if it is a little rough around the edges.

PCMagGabriel ZamoraAug 20183/5 starsLust for Darkness is a decent horror-adventure game with strong visuals and satisfying mature themes, but the weak story and annoying gameplay quirks weaken the experience.

Nintendo LifeDom Reseigh-LincolnJul 20194/10It doesn’t take very long for Lust for Darkness to overplay its hand and reveal just what kind of horror game it really is; for all the shock value of seeing some Giger-esque creature with an overtly phallic head or yet another doorway shaped like genitalia, you realise it’s just that: hollow grotesquery employed for the sake of making you cringe.

DarkZeroIan HowarthJun 20184/10Underneath it all there's genuinely something interesting here – it just needed to be more focussed, polished, moulded into a vision instead of left as a loose idea. The gameplay and story need working on heavily in their own way. I'd definitely come back to check on a sequel but it would be out of wary curiosity, not excitement
