Lucius

Poorly executed parody

This game should not be taken seriously. It constantly references horror classics, and even Dante (you know the guy who wrote about hell in his Divinde Comedy?). There is a character named MacGuffin, and the general tone is somewhere in the middle of parody and pastiche. The problem is that it's mostly funny becuase it's so poorly executed. The death scenes look ridiculous. An incident with a lawn mover is particularly amusing. In the wrong way. The worst part of the game (apart from the frequent bugs) is the devastatingliy boring linearity. You aren't free to do anything that the game does not want you to do. It is almost ridiculous. The devil stands for chaos, not for following extremely rigid rules. This is not a stealth game, but rather a very poor point & click adventure with a crappy interface. This could have been fun, if the player were allowed to experiment and be clever. But alas, this is not a clever game. It is dumb, and it forces the player to act dumb as well. Lucius is squandered potential, possibly worth a few laughs for the ridiculous death scenes.
