Unity - Completed - Lust from Beyond [Sensual Update] [Movie Games Lunarium]

Can't believe I've never run into this game. Love the settings, the art and model, love the story too, though Victor and Lily won't have happy ending together and the fact that Amanda is corrupted since Lust for Darkness make me a bit sad. Not disappointed though. I completed this 2 times to collect all endings and might consider to buy the game in steam afterward. Looking forward for the sequel, Lust of God.

If you are looking into this game for its erotic content, just move on. Unless your fetish is seeing lots and lots and lots of deaddismembered bodies, you will not find much else in this game.
There is one cutscene at beginning, one quick-time event sex shortly after and you can look through hole in wall to get very limited view from distance on another sex scene.
After that, you can play potentialy for several hours without any further sex scene.
In short, this is not really porn game. It is survival/adventure horror game with little bit of porn in it and some half naked enemies in BDSM geat.


Game works fine, quality is there and bugs are almost non-existent. But the advertisement of dealing with "Cult of Exstasy" lust from beyond and debauchery and pleasure... yeah that is huge pile of bollocks. And that is why I am giving it just 3 stars.

If the advertisement for this game was truthfull and more on point I would give it 4-5 stars. The game is well done. But description of this game raised certain expectations and the game definitely did not deliver on those.

If you are looking for puzzle game with horror theme and survival elements with bit of porn in it, this is exactly what yo uare looking for.
But be wary, never skip text. Objectives are written just as footnotes without details and there is no option to read/hear again what relevant quest character told you. Which often includes location of the item you are looking for. So if you skip text or just miss the description, you may end up just desperately searching and clicking everything everywhere.

This game is a sequel to an earlier game from the same devs but if you haven’t played it, you don’t miss much. In short, Lust from Beyond delivers many improvements but these still aren’t enough to make this a good game but rather an okay one. Still, the game is made by a real company whose workers are paid in real money for their efforts which means that there are very few bugs or glitches, and that the game is coherent.



First of all, the game looks good. The graphics aren’t amazing, but they hold up well. Some of the textures aren’t that detailed, specially when you’re in the “real world”, and in some sex scenes the lack of details is a bit annoying. However, in other scenes the models are good and you’re actually able to get in the mood.



The plot is okay and serves its purpose. And if you manage to pay attention, there are even some details to enrich it. All in all, the Lovecraftian aspects give a really good basis for the plot, and there a couple of good twists. But the dialogue is… meh. Specially some of the main character’s lines are so horrible that you want to beat him with the stupid stick. Voice actors do a good job and add to the game’s atmosphere.



The game represents the erotic horror genre, and I’d say that the erotic content is the main selling point in this case. Compared to the last game, there’s more erotic content and sex scenes. But like so many others have commented, there could be a lot more, and I agree with that. The game takes about 12 hours to complete if you’re a person who likes to check every little drawer like me. That means that there’s too much time between different sex scenes. Also, there isn’t really that much of a reason to check every place if you expect to find something erotic. Sure, there are a few dildos and erotically charged statues here and there, but once again, there could be more. In addition to few letters and books relevant to the plot, there are many more books you can pic up, but can’t read them; they just are there.



The biggest let down for me was the other world. It does look good and in some cases the sound design is very good (and sexy). But if you expect to find tentacles and holes to fuck, you will be disappointed. Only at the end, you get to have a little bit of sexy times with somethings that are weird and pissed off.



The other aspects of the game are horror and puzzles. The horror stuff is overall good, and there’s even one good and well-earned jump scare. The puzzles are alright, and you have to find clues to solve them. But to call this a puzzle game is a bit too much since there aren’t that many of them.



And few other things to mention; there aren’t any save slots so in order to explore different outcomes, you have to replay the game again. And there is no in-game zoom which would have been a really good addition.



So, would I recommend you to play this game? Yes, if you’re into erotic horror. Would I recommend you to pay for this game? When it’s on sale. Honestly, I’d give this game 3,5 stars but due to problems mentioned above, I settle to 3 stars. But the potential is still there, if the devs decide to make a sequel or use this a basis for some other game.

One of the best horror/adult games ive played! The phallic objects are cool to interact with. The sounding is good and the graphics quality too. Glad to see that the devs are always worried about new updates! Really love that atmosphere and story <3 Also, the masks are such a turn on! xd

Lust from Beyond [Sensual Update] as well a s a second chance with
[Build 7438721 / The Explorer's Update + Digital Goodies Pack]

All I got is complaints:

• this is hardly a sexual game, since it's more focused on disturbing blood and gore content, scarce hard BDSM content, even the flesh dimension content seems wasted;
• this is hardly a puzzle game, since it's ENIRELY focused on scavenging for usually small key items scattered around or cryptic puzzles, to continue the plot;
• the collectables are awful, the fact the game outright tells you "collectables MAY (they will) appear at different chapters to be completed, for a game that gives no indication whether you will have access to the area and messes with your inventory multiple times;
• Un-toggle-able (the setting to turn off does not work in either update) QTE system that apart from a single mechanic intrudes sex scenes and is unexpected and unnecessary in others;
• mixes cutscenes that look like normal dialogue options with normal dialogue, so the option to fast forward dialogue causes to skip and miss the cutscenes whiteout a way to see it again;
• failed stealth mechanic- apart a couple of cases, it's better to kill, especially when you can get a good knife or a gun that trivializes combat, the game even forces run and fight scenarios;
• jump-scares, because why not ignore the atmosphere of: creepy town, ruthless degenerate cultists, manipulative antagonist/s, dimension of flesh.

1 (+1) /5 stars. Do not recommend
(+1 for leading to find more oddly alluring grotesque erotica games)

Alright I don't know why this game is getting mediocre scores. Its literally one of if not the only adult game with an actual budget, and release. Let me break it down.

The game is an automatic 3 star for not being a visual novel.
The game gets another star for having polish.
The game gets a final 5th star and in my honest opinion could get 4 stars all by itself with this one.
THE GAME, IS ACTUALLY, FINISHED AND, RELEASED!

I cannot stress enough how unique and novel it is to see a fucking western porn game release in final or near final state. Its that .0001% of games that exist. 50% is either abandonware while the other 50% are milk machines.
I don't mean to start this review out so...hyper focused on this particular aspect, its just the weak review score on here triggered me since its actually a decent game.

Story
So this is interesting. The studio made a mini version of this game it would appear a few years ago, it acts as a prequel to this game, the characters and everything is involved. So ya.
Honestly the story was fine, it was a bit silly at points, but got unexpectedly serious near the end. However the final boss made me laugh, I blame the animations more than anything.
In short if you like cthulu or "old ones" type stuff this is great. Considering H.P lovecraft was kind of a pervert (fish people breeding with humans). Ya, it honestly fits the themes. The thing I wasn't a fan of was the over played sado masochism. Think outlast...except with sex scenes instead of implied, ya. Anyway I won't give details as the summary in OP does that. Just know that its about a 8-15 hour game. Voice acting is fine, story was somewhat predictable but has me curious to play their previous game now. All in all I would say 6/10 story.

Gameplay
The gameplay, I would say its mostly resident evil 7 lite. If you like it you will like this, if you hate it, you won't like this. It has a mix of amnesia container opening...mostly pointless.
The game is easy. Which is fine honestly. Don't let the game fool you, you can totally play this like an action game. Just upgrade your health in the first upgrade area. Then get the upgrade later that heals double health.
The latest version has a somewhat annoying segment where you have a Mr. X situation but I will point that out at the end. The games pacing is fast and the power the player wields reflects that so all in all good game design.
Outside of combat are puzzles. They are fine, basic but not super basic, there is also hidden "keys" you can find which are a bit more challenging since they are more open ended. Would like a walkthrough.
I would give it 8/10 if you like RE 7. 5/10 if you don't like RE7.
OH! Side note:
The QTE option is fucking broken in the menu you have to do the QTE's no matter what so I don't get it.

Adult stuff
Ok, can we just talk about the fact this was name dropped and highlighted at E3 2021???!! I think it was fucking troy baker who name dropped it to, how fucking bizarre. This game is not vanilla sex people. This is BDSM/rape/orgy and even xeno creature sex we are talking about. I don't think E3 knew what they were sponsoring LMFAO. Either way, great stuff.

Anyway to elaborate on the adult stuff. Its modest in quantity. Decent in quality. Impressive in its diversity. I will be honest I only played this for the lovecraft sex, it was well. It was like watching michael bay for the transformers, if that makes sense. Sure you get some cool moments but its mostly human stuff. Its not really uh fap material IMO. Mostly because all the sex is scripted. There is no gameplay sex mechanics. Maybe they will do it in the future. The sex are essentially set pieces, simple enough.
I would rate it 5/10 if it were vanilla stuff, but because of the themes and xeno sex I give it a 7/10.

The super secret reason I like this game and gave it 5 star.
Anyone remember teruge? I think that's its name. That super unique game that had you transported to a SUPER alien world? Ya, this game is the closest thing to that I have seen, and its a well funded polished project on top of that. I really hope they dig more into the xeno/alien aspect in the future. The final sex scene kind of hints at that stuff but ya would be great.

The cons
I will briefly point out the notable bad.
-Fuck the blood house, seriously, the new update made it very annoying.
-Enemies were basic and the alien ones were meh, aside from the scripted even one that actually was kinda scary.
-The hotel escape sequence was a bit cancer as well given its one of the hardest parts of the game and its literally the first thing you do combat wise.
-The start of the game is VERY tedious, namely the antique shop and date stuff. After the cultists show up the game starts to feel like an actual game.
-Upgrades are poorly balanced. Just upgrade your health and make events easier. Given how short and easy the game is though, eh I let it slide but same may not.
-Sex/adult stuff is all scripted, no sex in gameplay.

Mr x but with a leg
So in an area called "the bloodhouse" you need to find 3 golden hands. The first two you can find fairly easily the third was a bitch. I want to say my advice will help but is untested so anyway here is my advice.
-Kill the normal cultists that are in the areas.
-If you open a door that leads to a room with a bunch of TV screens DO NOT GO IN IT.
- You should be able to get the other two hands without going into the TV room. After you get the two other hands THEN go into the TV room. This is what triggered Mr. X leg day for me.
Make sure you grab the note in the room and go back to the main room. Go to the platform in the middle and use the note as reference to open/close the iron maiden doors in the right order. That gives you the third hand.
Seriously fuck having to do that with no idea while running from that discount Mr. X who they just teleport at you lazily. Fuck.

I own this game on steam. the story is ok, its not bad or good, the "fighting" in the game is kinda bad(u are give a knife and way way later in the game a gun with little ammo) most of the time u don't even need to use the knife you are given and can just run around enemies(without stealth).the graphics are 9/10. if you are getting this game for the sex there isn't much. all of the nude female model look like they have fake pussies and the men have what look to me as a rubber dick. the horror part of the game isn't great because u don't need to hide from things when u can just run away and most of the time the enemy wont leave their spawn areas(aka where they walk around).
over all I would give this game a 6.2/10
edit: I didn't say anything about the puzzles. the puzzles are good. you need to look around at almost everything to find out what to do.

Having played the previous title from this dev team I must first congratulate the developers on making the second game so much better. The first wasn't terrible, but this one is way ahead.

For those only reading to see what kind of fap content is involved, there is a ton of lewd content, and a number full blown sex scenes. While the animations / models aren't the best thing out there, the lot of the game is pretty arousing. Some of it gets really fucking weird, especially if you choose one of the two endings to the game. That being said, the bulk of lewd nudity is actually from corpses lying around, so not a game for anyone with a weak stomach. Also should be stated there is more than just human nudity.

Do not go into this game expecting porn, while it is heavy with the pornographic content, the gameplay comes first. All of the sexual encounters are quick time events.

Also keep in mind this is a horror game, there are parts in the game designed to scare you similar to dead space. There is no screamers in your face or anything, but don't expect the dark corners to be innocent when you turn them. There was quite a few jump scares that got me really fucking good.

The puzzles in the game are probably the best part. They tried their best to create some unique platforming sequences and button pushing, but I think it came out pretty good.

I'm the type of person who loves to scour every inch of a map trying to find any bones the map designer left around. So yes, there are secrets to be found. The mansion for example contains an easter egg room showcasing a log of all of the supporters. I didn't find anything else quite that big, but I would not be surprised if there is more. I'm also surprised from the amount of content I must have missed, because at the end of my play through I was still missing some of the entries.

The town and the mansion both have a collection side quest, the town I was not able to find all of the clown statues, I think I was missing two and gave up. From the comments I think it just unlocks a dialogue with a one off character. The mansion will reward you with a shiny knife which deals extra damage.

The writing is also what makes this game special. The story itself is fascinating, for those of you who enjoy lovecraft this is about as good as it gets for visual storytelling. The dialogue and the characters are interesting. This universe is full of wonders and will leave you asking questions.

Gameplay, I was never caught in situations where I wasn't less than 90% sure of what I should do. Most of the level design was good enough to point me where I needed to go. The combat is little bit janky, and there are definitely some places in the story where you cannot fight. So running blindly in circles to kite the enemy while looking for the escape route is a little frustrating. The sneaking mechanic is pretty good, I remember the last game you pretty much had to sneak or you were dead.

The maps are simply stunning, the real world and the lust world are both riddled with details. The lighting is a spectacle. My GPU suffered for my visual pleasure the entire way through.

In conclusion, if you are a big horror fan, and like the lovecraft stuff, this is an excellent game. If you are squeamish and don't enjoy anything remotely grotesque you should save your hard drive space.

Okay so this is a seriously beautiful game.

But so far it's a adventure/puzzle game, not a porn game.

That is:

I escaped the starting cave; wandered around randomly until I woke up in the house; found the man I was supposed to talk to; and was given ritual instructions. At this stage I realized I was playing a regular game (fetch this; read that) just with the odd naughty bit here and there and stopped. I need more hardcore porn in my f95 games... (Unless there's sweaty horror sex incoming this game is gonna lose stars)

Cautiously optimistic; but seriously - this game needs more nekkid wimmin bloating with cthulhoid babies stat!


Edit in December 2020: SInce there doesn't seem to have been any porny additions (or much new content at all) since my review back in February, I'm removing one star (to 2 stars).
