Lucius

Most people will already know the concept for this game, it's basically Hitman except you're a kid with demonic powers. The problem is it lacks one of the key elements of Hitman, the ability to simply murder a target outright rather than play along with the little "perfect kill" scenarios. Game would be 4/5 if you could even use telekinesis to kill someone with glass or something, but as it stands you pretty much need a guide to beat it, since it runs on "adventure game logic".

The game looks awesome for an independent development studio. Visually, it's Mafia of indie scene. No load screens, high details, fluent movement of characters, everything has its place, a believable changes of weather. I really liked to walk around and enjoy the view. The background music is simple but very well-done. It has the strong, orchestral tones which perfectly convey the dramatic mood. It's almost a crime that it isn't among bonuses :). Narrative between chapters was strong thanks to an interesting use of camera, music, and the detective's commentary. Dialogues are also nicely done although it moves a little too quickly. The murder/accident happens recently and residents still react little too cool. On the other hand, I think that creators were aware of insanity of such scenario and thus they planted an inside joke here and there; the detective's name or chores come to mind. Fans of classic adventures will probably dislike action sequences and a lack of choices. The game allows you to do some things in different order but you spend a majority of time running around and clicking on things. You play as a silent person, so don't expect a dialogue menu. It's still an adventure which means "assassinations" are scripted. There are some flaws. One is related to control music. It seems that no matter what you volume chose, a background track keeps playing loudly which can interfere with speaking and makes it harder to understand. Game play lasts 5 or 6 hours which I consider short. Summary: It's not second The Longest Journey but it's fine adventure. I enjoyed it and I look forward to see another game from this studio. Hopefully, this time with something less graphically morbid :). And, Lucius is hella little creeper.

Although it isn't written in the gog.com Description but you can choose between english and german language in the game. It's a little bit like Hitman, just with a little evil satanic boy. Awesome! I just wonder why you can't change the gamma. The contrast is to low so dark passages are really black and you can't see doors for example.

First of all: a warm hello to the GOG community. I'm really exicted about this site and looking forward to play lots of the good games which you cannot really find in the stores anymore. Second: I haven't played Lucius myself but I saw alot of good reviews. Last thing I wanted to ask is, how can I get the German client of the game? I wanted to get it for my girlfriend and she doesn't understand english very well. Do I get to choose if I want to install it in German when downloaded or do I have to switch to German before downloading? Greets!

It totally rocks, nothing more to say!!! Like the evil side, like "Omen", love to be a satanic child??? Your game! Very innovative and just nice, a unique gaming experience I totally recommend!!!
