Description


Lust from Beyond: M Edition Demo is available here.



Lust from Beyond: M Edition is a new version of the cult survival horror Lust from Beyond. This edition is tailored to the preferences of players who love the genre of Lovecraftian horror for its mystery, narrative, and atmosphere rather than explicit content.

We invite you to another world. A world fueled by desire, fascination, and fear. A world inspired by the disturbing works of H.P. Lovecraft, H.R. Giger, and Zdzislaw Beksinski.



You are Victor Holloway, an antiquarian tormented by visions of a sinister land, where there's no difference between pain and pleasure. To unravel the true meaning of your dreams, you join the esoteric Cult of Ecstasy.

Taste the cultist's life from within. Get lost in its blasphemous customs. Find out what happens when the pleasures of this world stop being enough.

Discover the gates to Lusst'ghaa, the mythical Land of Ecstasy, beyond the borders of reality or comprehension. Face what lurks there. Fight, hide, solve puzzles, find your answers… and survive.

A New Take on the Fan-Favourite Horror





  • New, more accessible version of the fan-favorite Lovecraftian horror
  • Focused on the beloved story and gameplay, with less shocking content
  • Story told from a cult member’s perspective
  • Run, hide, sneak or fight using survival horror mechanics
  • Setting and style inspired by the works of Lovecraft, Giger, and Beksiński
  • Meaningful choices and elements of RPG-like progression
  • Mind-bending puzzles to test your wits
  • Sound recorded on-location in derelict period buildings

Changes in the M Edition


The original Lust from Beyond is an Adult Only experience. The M Edition is the same game tastefully tailored for a wider audience. M stands for the new Mature rating, but also for the many motifs of the Lust universe. The omnipresent Mystery, the iconic Masks, and overwhelming Madness.

The M Edition contains the following changes from the Adult Only edition:

  • Nudity has been covered by outfits appropriate to the themes and setting.
  • Some scenes have been rearranged to keep their meaning but reduce the explicit factor.
  • Some animations, scene framing and models have been changed to meet the Mature rating requirements.


LUST FROM BEYOND: M EDITION contains violence, blood, mild nudity and erotic themes.

Censored

I hope GOG will release also original uncensored version, or at least patch to make game uncensored.

"less shocking content"

Interesting story. Literary pacing. Basically, the only real issue I had with the demo - which I reviewed at a generous 4 - was that it could have gone way further. The main influences are Clive Barker, Bataille, and newer Lovecraftian fiction, so it was a weird omission. I found out on inquiry this is a kind of mass-market version of an older game, and they've self-censored their own work; not just offered a sanitized version, the other seems to be unavailable now. This would be a better product to offer the option to choose for the game to match the thematic content; or, to at least offer people the option of purchasing both products. 3d graphics and video game characters getting it on seem less the issue however than watering down an artistic statement. Maybe just offer a free age-verified separate patch?

Ganz OK, aber zensiert

Wegen der Zensur sind es nur drei Sterne, der Rest wurde nur entsprechend angepasst um die Logik zu bewahren. Das Spiel ansich ist ganz OK. Es ist ein Horrorspiel mit nackter Haut. Eventuell ist es dadurch auch etwas stärker gehyped. Der Anfang geht mit Rätseln los, für die verschiedene Dinge angeschaut und verwendet werden müssen. Ein Kampfsystem ist nur in Grundzügen vorhanden, daher ist der häufigste Weg das Weglaufen. Zur "not Mature" M Edition: Ja, hierbei handelt es sich um die zensierte Version. Jeder z.B. in Deutschland muss sich im Klaren sein, dass es mit der USK keine ungeschnittene Version gegen wird - nicht nur von diesem Spiels. GoG hat das Original auch im Angebot, jedoch nicht in Deutschland! Das Schlechtmachen dieses Spiels hierwegen ist daher an der falschen Stelle. Ich muss allerdings zugeben, dass die Zensur deutlich gekennzeichnet werden muss. ----- Because of the censorship, it only gets three stars; the rest has been adjusted accordingly to maintain logic. The game itself is quite OK. It's a horror game with bare skin. Perhaps that's why it's a bit more hyped. It starts with puzzles that require looking at and using various objects. The combat system is only basic, so the most common way to escape is to run away. Regarding the "Not Mature" M Edition: Yes, this is the censored version. Everyone in Germany, for example, must be aware that the USK will not allow an uncut version - not only of this game. GoG also offers the original, but not in Germany! Therefore, criticizing this game for this reason is out of place. I must admit, however, that the censorship should be clearly marked.

A little bit crude?

Hmm.... not saying I wouldn't ever play (have watched previews and bits of walkthroughs) but if the developers truly wanted to create a "tastefully tailored" game why not just create a different game for a different audience? It's simply not a "tastefully tailored" game (their words) in any stretch of the imagination nor from any perspective whatsoever so why bother with the ommissions. Like art, it either is good or it isn't (or anywhere in between the two) depending on the "eye" of the beholder, not necessarily the creator.

I don't see the big controversy

First GOG users are like "enough with these pron games!". Then they are like "why you censoring?" If the developers have decided to censor the game, good for them. Could offer an unofficial official adult patch in the forums, that would be a nice option. We have to respect the creators' intentions even if we don't agree their direction. I myself don't necessarily need nudity to enjoy a nice creepy story.
