About the game

Lucius game has been demade, and is now ready for mayhem. Enjoy all the gore now in fewer pixels and fewer colors. The original game has been fully demade to achieve the atmosphere of an 80's style gory adventure. Lucius is now killing all the pixels and there isn't a damn thing anyone can do about it.

No achievement in this game marks the ending, so there is no finish rate. The curve runs from the most-unlocked achievement to the rarest, and its shape is where players stop. Steam global achievements

What players say

Ironically the best game in the series since it does not suffer from the bugs, graphical issues, audio issues, crashes, gameplay issues and lighting issues that plague the other games. Get this one and maybe the first Lucius game. Stay far away from the others
