- Overall, I feel like Lust For Darkness suffered from a slight identity crisis. It’s part-walking simulator, part-hiding simulator, part-puzzle solver and a whole lot of Amnesia. It didn’t really know what it wanted to be and I came away feeling it could have nailed a few more of its elements better, had it stuck to one principle gameplay element, rather than be bang average in a whole load of them.
Jamie Ward · Oct 10, 2020 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - Although it delivers an abundance of horrifying imagery, the indiscriminately gratuitous Lust for Darkness falls short of delivering a truly engaging Lovecraft-meets-sex-cult experience throughout its brief three-hour play time.
Todd Rigney · Oct 31, 2018 Reviewed on PCRead full review - Lust for Darkness is an erotic psychological horror that relies too heavily on the shock value of nudity and gore in a way that that isn't handled with any level of maturity or seriousness nor has the gameplay chops to back it up. A couple of cheap jump scares is all you'll really take away from this short budget title.
Jorge Jimenez · Jun 27, 2018 Reviewed on PCRead full review - Playing straight through, you'll probably finish the full game in a handful of hours, and other than going back to find side story objects you missed, there's not much for replay value. This 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.
Ty Arthur · Jun 12, 2018 Reviewed on PCRead full review - It 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. There are a handful of moments of genuine unease, but they’re few and far between in what is ultimately a short trudge through sex-inspired horror landscape that wastes the opportunity to find some genuinely interesting allegory in all that face-value titillation.
Dom Reseigh-Lincoln · Jul 21, 2019 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - Lust for Darkness doesn’t really deliver what its trailer promises. The scares aren’t great, other than the jarring ‘caught’ noise on the short stealth section. With a short run-time, it’s an underwhelming experience.
Oliver Roderick · Jul 16, 2019 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - We need interesting, unique gameplay mechanics that don’t just exist to string us along from scary set piece to scary set piece. Great horror games aren’t just scary experiences: They’re entertaining to play, and their stories and themes make a point that sticks with you long after the credits roll. Lust For Darkness doesn’t manage to achieve either of those things and would have been better as a short film on the indie circuit.
Andrew Wowk · Aug 13, 2018 Reviewed on PCRead full review - We're not going to mark Lust for Darkness down because of the graphic content, because there are going to be people out there who love this sort of thing and, at the end of the day, who are we to judge. We are, however, going to complain about the lack of quality that veins through nearly every aspect of this grotesque first-person adventure.
Mike Holmes · Jun 30, 2018 Reviewed on PCRead full review - Lust for Darkness ist weder spannend noch gruselig oder gar anregend, obwohl es mit den peinlich inszenierten Sex- und Gewalt-Orgien sowie suggestiv gestalteten Objekten oder Umgebungen wirklich alles versucht, um diesen Eindruck regelrecht zu erzwingen. Leider ist es vor allem eines: furchtbar öde!
Michael Krosta · Jun 28, 2018 Reviewed on PCRead full review - Po technickej stránke je ale hra zvládnutá dobre, nezaznamenal som žiadne pády, iba oba občasné zvukové glitche. Lust for Darkness je skôr sklamaním. Na základe prezentovaných obrázkov a videí som čakal predsa len niečo viac ako trojhodinový plytký príbeh a hororové klišé. Z absolútnej priemernosti hru dostáva hrateľnosť, samotný námet a jeho vizuálna prezentácia.

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.
