Although this game aged extremely poorly in many aspects, it still is a unique experience which deserves to be played at least once. We will play as Lucius, a kid who is the son of the devil. Chapter by chapter we will be tasked by our father with killing people inside the house we live in. First it will be staff members, a maid, the butcher, up until more “high profile” targets. The killings must be disguised as accidents, in order to avoid and deflect suspicions about us. Every kill will increase our power and eventually we will unlock new abilities, like telekinesis, mind control and fireballs. The game is really explicit and graphic in depicting the murders, showing exactly how every victim dies with plenty of details. The story is pretty well written too, conveying a nice black humor sort of noir mood. This is greatly enhanced by the soundtrack, which gives great moody vibes and perfectly fits with every scenario. I must say the atmosphere is overall on point and works very well. The mix of action and kind of “point and click” gameplay is smart but doesn't always work, and I found it pretty difficult at times. Some actions required to progress are really unintuitive or need a lot of exploration and trial and error to figure out. The fact that some important objects arent highlighted at all and often blend with the background doesn't help one bit, thus at times I had to help myself with a guide. Another low point of the game is the presentation, which I guess is the aspect that aged the most poorly. Still, the overall style is consistent, albeit not looking great even compared to other indie games from the same time period. Also sometimes the game is a bit janky, with some hotbox issues which require some extreme precision to work. Overall though, it was a fun experience and I really enjoyed being the villain and decimating the unsuspecting victims. If you can get past some ugly-ish graphics I'm pretty confident in recommending this game!

The game is lame, but still manages to be atleast somewhat enjoyable in certain ways. Deaths are cool and some of the cutscenes are hilarious. Gameplay is nothing special, mostly just moving from A to B collecting stuff you can use in later chapters only (I expected more freedom and multiple ways in performing kills in my own ways, turns out there is only one solid way, big disappointment) and wandering around to figure out what you're supposed to do since the game doesn't do a good job at explaining most of the time, I personally had to use a guide a couple of times. If you have the ability to enjoy bad movies and/or are able to make your own fun, this game might be worth looking at. Totally worth a try if you manage to get it at sale (snatched it for about 1€) and you got a few hours to spare.

I finished all of the Lucius games recently. If you want an interesting story about the son of devil, than play this or the demake version (or both), than Lucius 3. If you want to be a child serial killer, play Lucius 2. If you want both, no luck for you. All of the games have bugs, except Demake, but all of them are something you can use to it. If you have the patience for that, you will have an unique experience. About games: - Lucius: It is a 3D "point and click"-like game wich focuses on storytelling, gore and wandering around and in the manor. It uses slowmos very badly, even ruined the tense of the last chapter for me. Try to talk to everybody in every chapter for more infos and hints. - Lucius demake: First demake I ever played. Much easier to find items. The last chapter is teasing and besides that I like it much better than the original. Also it has the best OST from all of them. - Lucius 2: It is now a challenging game, where you have many ways to harvest souls. It is very well made that way (besides bugs of course). In exchange, it has the worst storytelling and character development, but in Lucius 3 they reflected to it very well. - Lucius 3: The 3D "point and click"-like gameplay returns with open world and again it´s rather focuses on gore and storytelling. Back to the roots, but better. Even it is not a finished game as intended, it´s story is phenomenal. My jaw dropped in front the genuie of the writer(s?). It is my favourite from all, because after those mixed stuff the other games gave me, I have finally seen the true Lucius I ever wanted to see. If I can say that, the first Lucius game is like a movie, the second and demake is like a game and the third is a series that didn´t finished, but closed properly (as possible). The strongest part of all games are Lucius itself and his strange character development. He never talks (khm...), he just kill poeple, but the small things, like the way he does the murders or how he reacts to certain situations build his style, but you never really know what he really feels or think. That´s his true power, beside being a kid. In Lucius 3 he is very strong, but he still use that power to outsmart others like in the first game, while in Lucius 2 he is rather aggressive and the gameplay is about that too. Focus on Lucius itself, Don´t care about bugs, get used to them, Have patience to find what you need And you will have a very great experience you will never forget.

I remember watching Pewdiepie play this back in 2012 and I just randomly thought about it recently. Still really cool, very neat concept and funny dialogue.
