Lust from Beyond > Lust for Darkness
Run really bad plus no sex.
Yapanlar tarafından cinsel içerik haricinde grafik ve hikayesiyle de öne çıkabileceğini iddia eden oyunu lovecraft tarafından ilham verilmiş yazısını gördüğüm için aldım. Deliliğin dağlarında adlı kitabını okurken gereğinden fazla betimlemeye sahip olduğu için bir süre sonra sıkılıp bırakmıştım.Bu oyun hem güzel grafiklerle hemde anlatım tarzıyla benim için anlamama yardımcı olacağını düşünüyordum. Oyunu lovecraftian sanarak aldım ancak adamlar etikete düz bir şekilde yazmış ''Lovecraft Temalı'' diye. Bu etiketi oyunun sonunda görünce de en çok şikayet edeceğim konuyu geri aldım . Onun haricinde : Artıları: +Çok güzel grafik ve ortam.(Bazı kısımlar hariç tabi). +Oyun tema ve hikaye olarak psikolojik gerilim . Son 2 dediğim kelimenin hakkını fazlasıyla veriyor.Hem bulunduğunuz ortam hende güzel gerilim sesleriyle düşmanların görüntü ve animasyonuna rağmen sizi etkiliyor.Göstermek istedikleri vahşet ve acıyı temasını çok güzel yansıtmışlar. Ana karakter ikide bir akıl sağlığınıda kaybetmeye başlıyor bu yüzden.Hatta üste o parantezi yazma sebebim de bu durumun biraz aşırıya kaçmasından dolayıdır.. +Ana ve yan karakterler baya iyi. +Seslendirmeler güzel. +Türkçe dil desteği. Nötr: o Bulmacalar o Hikaye ilerleyiş olarak değişkenlik gösteriyor. Hatta o kadar değişiyor ki güzel hikaye diye düşünürken , bir anda senaryo , hikaye anlatımı, ve diyalogların hepsi değişiyor. O yüzden hikayeyi 2 bölüme ayırmak zorundayım. Oyun 15 bölümden oluşuyor. +1-12 bölümün ortasına kadar hikaye iyi gitti. Senaryolar özgün ve güzel hazırlandığından dolayı belli kısımlar haricinde sıkılma durumu yaşamadım. Karakterin yaşadığı acıdan dolayı sonunu da baya merak ettiriyor.Çok fazla ters köşe yapan sekanslar mevcut. Bir iki diyalog ve bölüm sahnesi saymazsak (oda trailerda gösterilen bir sahneye benziyor.) +18 olarak bir şey de göremezsiniz. ( zaten oyunun sansürlü versiyonu). Bu paragrafın son kısmında spoiler var. -12. Bölümün ortası-15. bölümü(final) düşünen kimse baya bir küfürü hakediyor. Baktılar ana karakterin yeterince psikolojisini darmaduman ettik sıra oyuncuda diyerek bu senaryoyu yapmaya karar vermişler.Hayır daha fazla vahşet yada cinsel içeriğin sık yer almasından dolayı değil. O durumları zaten oyun başlamadan önce uyarıyor. Oyunun ismini başlık altına alarak yukarıdaki yazdıkları yazarların anlatım tarzıyla kısmen bir şeyler anlatılmış bir konuyu gittikçe daha ileriye götürüyorlar. Buda olabilecek bir durum bunda da sıkıntı yok. Ama yani zevk adı altında onca acı senaryodan sonra oluşturduğunuz sözde tanrının geçmişini ve diğer tanrılarını antik yunan tanrısıymış gibi heykel yaparak anlatıp ; bulunduğumuz bütün ortamları ve yaratıkları masumlaştırma çabasına girmek nedir? Sonda bir seçim yaptığında iki taraflı düşünmeni istedikleri için bu yola başvurmuş. Tamam oyunun gerçekten baya uzak bir algı yapmalarını anlarım ama gördüğümüz her şeyi masumlaştırma çabasına girmeleri resmen saçmalık.Bir vahşeti masumlaştırmadıkları kaldı derken sonda yapımcılar insanların içini dışını parçalayan, türlü işkence yollarını gösteren ve yapan tarikat üyelerine sahip bir lideri zevk yolunun önleyicisi olarak sanki bir melekmiş gibi göstermeye de çalıştılar. Bu kadar felsefe ve geçmiş anlatılardan çıkabileceğimiz tek sonuç yaptığınız her senaryoda düzenli ilaç almanın önemidir. Sonuç olarak büyük bir kısmı iyi geçtiği için böyle absürtlüklere rağmen hikayenin orta düzeyde olduğunu söyleyebilirim. Eksiler: -Bölüm seçme ayarı yok. Bir son yaptığınızda tekrar seçim ekranına dönemiyorsunuz. -Checkpoint kötü konulmuş. -15 bölümde sadece 2 boss var ve hepsi çöp -Boss harici 6 farklı düşmana sahibiz ve çoğu birbiriyle aynı. -Bıçak ve tabanca vermeseniz de olurdu . Kullanmaktan gram zevk almadım. -Korku etiketi kaldırılmalı. -Animasyon çöp -Sansüre rağmen uygunsuz sekanslar özellikle sonlara doğru bulunmakta. -Bölüm tasarımları çöp -Diyaloglar çöp -Benim pc den kaynaklı olabilir öldüğümüzde veya başka bölüme geçtiğimizde yükleme ekranı çıkıyor ve baya bir sürüyor. -Yapmamız gereken şeçimler de oyun direkt karar verirken (son ve bir kısım hariç) çöp diyalog seçimlerini bize bırakmışlar. -Görev yönlendirmesi örnek olarak şu şekilde(temsili değildir): Görev->Kapıyı açmanın yolunu bul.Detaylar için tab tuşuna basınız. Detaylar->Anahtarı bul. Onun haricinde diyalog var ancak başka alternatif yok. Kaçırınca reset atmak zorunda kalıyorsunuz. -İsteğe bağlı görevleri yapmayın. Diyeceklerim bu kadar. Son yorumlar: Hikayeli oyun olarak türe merakınız varsa ,absürt senaryolar ve uyardıkları şeyleri size çok koymuyorsa alınabilir. Ama herkesten her şeyi bekleyin. Key sitesinde 20-50 tl arası 5./10
Ultra lineaire, graphisme à fond le jeu est pas terrible, mature ca n'en porte que le nom, les cotés loftcraft sont moyens, j'en attendais mieux. Le scénario est vraiment pas terrible, très peu de choix de dialogue et presque aucun impacte. Bref grosse déception.
Playtime is after multiple false starts and finally playing the game fully while replaying the last few chapters (through backup save) to see if the Kill everyone ending had anything worth it to it. I was really hoping for a solid Lovecraftian/Giger game seeing as this was the version of the game with the nudity/sex scenes removed/reduced but with this game stripped of those you really see how little there was overall. The actual gameplay consists of the same of the same 2 "puzzles" 1) Push ladder 2) lead enemy into the ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up flower Combat is pretty much a joke as enemies can be killed with 2 hits from a knife and the later portion gives you a pistol with infinite ammo so combat basically doesn't exist. Both endings are rather mediocre with each giving various slideshow cards telling you what happened to characters which is rather meaningless as said characters never make an impact (Though I'm guessing in the base version you do make impacts with them at some point) Visually it starts off rather solid but then it becomes the exact same hallways again and again with the odd set piece that does stand out. Overall I can't recommend bonus point though the guys fondest memory was [spoiler] sticking his ♥♥♥♥ in a flesh flower so there is that. [/spoiler]
Lust from Beyond: M Edition is a psychological horror adventure developed by Movie Games Lunarium and published by Movie Games S.A., offering a modified version of the original Lust from Beyond designed to reach a wider audience by removing explicit adult content while preserving the unsettling narrative and disturbing atmosphere. The game blends first-person exploration, puzzle solving, and survival horror elements with heavy inspiration drawn from cosmic horror and dark psychological themes. Set in a world where forbidden rituals and ancient entities lurk beyond human understanding, the experience focuses less on conventional combat and more on narrative immersion, disturbing imagery, and the gradual unraveling of a deeply unsettling mystery. The story follows Victor Holloway, a man haunted by disturbing visions of a strange and terrifying realm known as Lusst’ghaa. These visions plague his dreams and gradually begin to intrude into his waking life, pushing him toward the edge of sanity. Desperate for answers, Victor begins investigating the origin of these visions and soon becomes entangled with a mysterious cult known as the Church of Ecstasy. What initially appears to be a secretive group dedicated to enlightenment quickly reveals itself to be something far more sinister. As Victor delves deeper into the cult’s rituals and ideology, he uncovers a hidden reality where human desires, ancient gods, and forbidden dimensions intersect in horrifying ways. The narrative slowly reveals that Lusst’ghaa is not simply a hallucination but a tangible dimension inhabited by alien entities that feed on human emotion and obsession. Gameplay unfolds from a first-person perspective and focuses primarily on exploration and puzzle solving. Players navigate through a variety of environments including Victor’s home, the cult’s mysterious headquarters, underground chambers, and eventually the grotesque otherworldly landscapes of Lusst’ghaa itself. Each location is filled with environmental storytelling, documents, and clues that gradually reveal the larger mythology behind the cult and the dimension they worship. Puzzles range from mechanical contraptions and symbol-based locks to more abstract challenges involving manipulation of objects or deciphering ritualistic patterns. These puzzles serve as a pacing mechanism, encouraging players to carefully explore their surroundings and piece together the disturbing lore of the world. Unlike traditional horror games that rely heavily on combat, Lust from Beyond: M Edition places emphasis on vulnerability and atmosphere. Encounters with hostile entities do occur, but players are often encouraged to evade danger rather than confront it directly. Stealth sequences require careful movement and observation as monstrous creatures roam certain areas, creating tense moments where players must hide, distract enemies, or find alternate routes. These segments heighten the feeling of helplessness and reinforce the game’s survival horror tone. The lack of conventional weapons also emphasizes the psychological aspect of the experience, as players must rely on awareness and clever navigation to survive. One of the most distinctive aspects of the game is its visual design, which draws heavily from the works of H.P. Lovecraft and H.R. Giger. The world of Lusst’ghaa is depicted as an organic nightmare where architecture, flesh, and alien biology merge into surreal and disturbing forms. Corridors twist in unnatural shapes, structures appear to breathe and pulsate, and grotesque statues loom over ritual chambers. Even mundane environments gradually take on unsettling qualities as the influence of the other dimension begins to seep into reality. The game’s art direction creates an oppressive and deeply uncomfortable atmosphere that plays a major role in sustaining the horror throughout the experience. Sound design also contributes heavily to the overall mood. Ambient noises, distant whispers, and unsettling musical cues accompany exploration, reinforcing the sense that something unnatural is always lurking just beyond perception. When the player enters the alien dimension, the audio becomes even more distorted and surreal, amplifying the sense of stepping into a world that defies human logic. The voice acting, particularly for Victor and several cult members, helps deliver the narrative with an appropriate level of unease and desperation. While the M Edition removes explicit adult scenes from the original game, the themes of obsession, desire, and forbidden pleasure remain central to the story. Rather than focusing on explicit imagery, the censored version relies more on psychological suggestion and disturbing symbolism to convey the cult’s philosophy and the nature of Lusst’ghaa. For many players, this version actually strengthens the horror aspects of the game by allowing the atmosphere and narrative to take center stage without relying on graphic shock value. However, the game is not without its flaws. Movement can occasionally feel slightly stiff, and some puzzle sequences may frustrate players due to unclear objectives or limited guidance. The stealth mechanics, while effective at creating tension, can sometimes feel repetitive when players are forced to replay sections after being detected. Additionally, the pacing of the story occasionally slows during extended exploration sequences, which may test the patience of players expecting constant action. Despite these issues, the strength of the narrative and the uniqueness of the world design often compensate for these mechanical shortcomings. What ultimately makes Lust from Beyond: M Edition stand out is its commitment to creating a disturbing and immersive horror experience rooted in cosmic dread. Rather than relying on jump scares or action-heavy gameplay, the game focuses on psychological tension, unsettling environments, and a narrative that gradually reveals the horrifying implications of Victor’s journey. The story explores themes of temptation, curiosity, and the dangers of pursuing forbidden knowledge, echoing many of the classic ideas found in cosmic horror literature. Overall, Lust from Beyond: M Edition is a haunting and atmospheric horror adventure that offers a unique blend of psychological storytelling and surreal world design. While it may not appeal to players seeking fast-paced action or traditional survival horror mechanics, it delivers a memorable experience for those who appreciate narrative-driven horror and deeply unsettling environments. Its Lovecraftian inspiration, disturbing art direction, and immersive atmosphere make it a standout title within the niche of psychological horror games. Rating: 7/10
This game reunites all themes I like in a horror game (erotism, occultism, other dimensions, victorian style). I would wish for more games in this series, because I've already replayed the games 2-3 times each.
what the fucc is this game about. no seriously, what is it about
ATTENTION,C'EST PAS UN MAUVAIS JEU MAIS UN JEU MOYEN. "Cthulhu aux pays du cul :Soft edition" Je me rappelle avoir vu la bande-annonce il y a des années avant même la sortie officielle et ,à l'époque , j'avais cru avoir en face de moi un jeu d'aventure un peu subversif : Quelle erreur. C'était à une époque ou les Porngames étaient pas sur notre magasin de jeu démat' préféré donc c'était y à longtemps ! L'histoire est sans plus, ni mauvaise ni bonne . Pareil pour le gameplay. L'ambiance aurait pu être pas mal sur certains points mais après des jeux comme Scorn ou Agony, l'horreur à-la-Giger est beaucoup mieux représenter que dans ce Lust from Beyond. J'ai eu l'impression de m'ennuyer pendant tout le jeu et c'est pas dans mon habitude. Après, il y a aussi l'âge du jeu qui fait que tout a pris dans la gueule,quoi. Bref : Pour peu cher, pourquoi pas. Si non, passez votre chemin.
