Lucius bedevilling UK stores and online portals

Normally adventures involve solving crimes, but in the newly-released Lucius, players will be committing them, often in the most diabolical ways. 

The wickedness comes naturally – or perhaps supernaturally – in this free-roaming 3D adventure, as players control the devil's own son in a pursuit to harvest souls. Born to wealthy (and entirely human) parents, Lucius seems like a normal boy until his sixth birthday, when Satan appears in his dreams, revealing his true legacy thanks to a pact signed by his ancestor. From this point on, it's Lucius's task to "accomplish the missions of Evil and gain control of the world."

The demon child's most immediate priority is disposing of "all his family members and service staff at the manor, one horrible, devious and painful death at a time in order to be able to make their wealth and powers his." He'll need to do it carefully, however, in order to avoid being discovered. Aiding him in his grisly assassinations are a variety of supernatural powers, including telekinesis and mind control.

Developed exclusively for PC, Lucius is available now in UK stores, and digitally through various portals like The Adventure Shop and Steam. As its subject matter suggests, the game features mature subject matter and is not recommended for children.
