The embodiment of evil is four feet tall.

Lucius, the wicked adventure game of gruesome murders and devil possession that is paying a tribute to the classic Omen movies, is now available 10% off on GOG.com. That's only $17.99 until Friday, November 2, at 10:59AM GMT.

Born on June the 6th, 1966 Lucius seemed to be a perfectly normal child until his sixth birthday, when he met his real dad. Well, they didn't exactly had a chance to talk in person, but the boy had a dream in which they spent some quality time together, plotting the demise of all humankind, defying God, and murdering all of Lucius' family and household staff. Does that seem a tad dark to you? Well, that's perfectly normal for a six year old child. That is if his dear old biological dad is the First of the Fallen, the Lightbringer, Lucifer (also known as Satan).

Lucius is a dark, esoteric adventure game in which you witness the unholy exploits of the Antichrist himself, currently occupying the body of a little boy. The orders from below are clear: all of the inhabitants of his family mansion--yes, including the Gardner--must die. Just make it all look like an accident. Otherwise, someone might start to suspect you, the obviously innocent boy with slightly glowing reddish eyes.

Mount the satanic tricycle of doom and ride across the creepy mansion halls in Lucius, for only $17.99.
I've been watching this game with interest, and I'll probably end up picking it up from GOG. Wishlisted for now.

Rhineland: In case someone is interested in this game: I played through it and did a (German) review to describe the pros and cons of Lucius: Link

So if you want a longer opinion than just a comment on this title, maybe it helps you. Love it, hate it, I don't know. :p
Thanks for the review.

I think I'll pass for now.
Never played this, but heard good things :) Still, where's Carmageddon 2?



EDIT: And since GOG isn't gonna tell me anything about Carmageddon 2, can they at least tell us if this is an exception, or are they gonna start releasing games on Friday too from now on?

Glad to see a multilanguage release, wishlisted for now.

edit: I just checked the gamecard again and now it says English only. What gives, GOG?

Now that is an excellent question.

timppu: That reminds me...

On Steam, the default price is 19.99€ (now on a pre-order promo, 16.99€). Still a bit cheaper for me in GOG.

What does it cost in Steam in US, ie. is there a normal $ = € conversion in use there? Or does it cost "more" in dollars, as it should?

Just wondering because apparently the publisher is fine without regional pricing, hence GOG...?
On Steam here the regular price is $25, but currently at an intro sale price of $21.24.

Good, then it appears to be there just as it should be, IMHO.
The original Omen is one of my favorite movies. Wishted.
Very nice release!

Wishlisted since the very nice promo is about to chomp my dollars.

Zeewolf: I hated Omen. And though this seems interesting in a way, my hatred of Omen means I won't ever play it.
I loved the Omen song though... at least in the South Park episode "Britney's new look":

It is so chillingly dramatic.

Hahahahaha :D
Did not see this one, coming, cool. Somewhat interested, but I'd like to hear others' opinions later. Wishlisted.
Good thing my crappy lappie can't run this. Anything that gives my wallet a little relief is always good. ;)
Might be interested in this, but we'll see what people have to say about it.
