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.

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.
Why buy on GOG.COM?
DRM FREE. No activation or online connection required to play.
I enjoyed the demo and am interested in the full game. Though I would not call it "Lovecraftian", at least not what this demo offers. This is more influenced by H.R. Giger. If you know about the upcoming game Scorn then you have a good idea as to what you are in for. The art style and graphics are great, voice acting is hit and miss. Sometimes it sounds like they were recorded off a phone. Especially the GF. As the name implies there is going to be plenty of sexual content, though in the demo there is not as much nudity as you might expect.
At the end of the 1990 edition of Tales Of The Cthulhu Mythos from Arkham House, probably the eminent collection of Lovecraftian fiction is a story by Robert Lupoff called "The Discovery of the Ghooric Zone" whereby the course for the next several decades of Lovecraftian fiction was firmly set in place by an orgy of Androids sexually cavorting on a space ship headed for planets all in the post-apocalyptic haze of Lovecraft's early twentieth century threats of the "Old Ones" returning. The worst has happened and it's not a big deal; humanity has just incorporated it into our psychosexual schema and is rolling with the chaos. Mutate or die. It's a tale of sex and fantastic weirdness and set the template for Alan Moore's Lovecraftian oeuvre, The Starry Wisdom Anthology, and much of Clive Barker. Basically, it's a lot of shagging things beyond our comprehension and evolving into something weird and alien and post-human. This is that. There are no stuffy professors, tired old monsters, and tropey Jazzage cliches usually prevalent when people (wrongly) interpret HPL - it's just kind of weird and vaguely sexy. It plays in a place between the grotesque and the beautiful. Wish it went further tbh, and that there was more lore to look at scattered in all the empty drawers. 4 for style points on the demo, I wanted to give it five just for actually going for an adult market, but so far Bataille it is not, nor Moore, and probably not for everyone.
