Although this game aged extremely poorly in many aspects, it still is a unique experience which deserves to be played at least once.

We will play as Lucius, a kid who is the son of the devil. Chapter by chapter we will be tasked by our father with killing people inside the house we live in.

First it will be staff members, a maid, the butcher, up until more “high profile” targets. The killings must be disguised as accidents, in order to avoid and deflect suspicions about us.

Every kill will increase our power and eventually we will unlock new abilities, like telekinesis, mind control and fireballs.

The game is really explicit and graphic in depicting the murders, showing exactly how every victim dies with plenty of details. The story is pretty well written too, conveying a nice black humor sort of noir mood.

This is greatly enhanced by the soundtrack, which gives great moody vibes and perfectly fits with every scenario.
I must say the atmosphere is overall on point and works very well.

The mix of action and kind of “point and click” gameplay is smart but doesn't always work, and I found it pretty difficult at times. Some actions required to progress are really unintuitive or need a lot of exploration and trial and error to figure out. The fact that some important objects arent highlighted at all and often blend with the background doesn't help one bit, thus at times I had to help myself with a guide.

Another low point of the game is the presentation, which I guess is the aspect that aged the most poorly. Still, the overall style is consistent, albeit not looking great even compared to other indie games from the same time period. Also sometimes the game is a bit janky, with some hotbox issues which require some extreme precision to work.

Overall though, it was a fun experience and I really enjoyed being the villain and decimating the unsuspecting victims. If you can get past some ugly-ish graphics I'm pretty confident in recommending this game!
