Let him that hath understanding count the number of the Beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.” - Revelation 13:18\n\nWhen little Lucius was born on the devilishly significant date of June 6th, 1966, no one expected him to be anything other than a normal little boy. His childhood, spent in a luxurious manor, was as normal as every kid’s childhood years - well, except for the extreme wealth of his parents, as Lucius grew up with everything he desired and more. Everything went to Hell, in a manner of speaking, when Lucius turned 6. The Devil, who is his real father, manifests himself in his dreams the night before his birthday revealing to Lucius his true heritage. It’s up to Lucius to bring Hell on Earth using any and all means necessary.\n\nOrchestrate deadly accidents, using items, tools, and hell’s powers such as telekinesis and mind control. By combining classic adventure gameplay with the freedom and openness of a 3D world, you’ll have to use your wits and ensure no one knows of your fiendish mission until it’s too late!","145286\u002Flucius-cover.jpg","145286\u002Flucius-header.jpg","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.youtube.com\u002Fwatch?v=VqfM4W9C6Y0","2012-10-26",null,5778,"lucius",[18,23],{"company":19,"developed":21,"published":22},{"name":20},"Lace Mamba Global",false,true,{"company":24,"developed":22,"published":21},{"name":25},"Shiver Games",[27,28,29],"Puzzle","Adventure","Indie",[31],"PC (Microsoft Windows)",[33,49,64,79,94],{"id":34,"author":35,"outlet":38,"summary":44,"review_url":45,"review_date":46,"original_score":47,"normalized_score":48},74404,{"id":36,"name":37},5430,"Mark Birnbaum",{"id":39,"logo":40,"name":41,"website_url":42,"score_format":43},69,"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.criticdb.com\u002Fstorage\u002Fv1\u002Fobject\u002Fpublic\u002Favatars\u002FOutlets\u002FIGN-logo.jpg","IGN","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.ign.com\u002F","10","Lucius can be engrossing, charming, and even darkly funny.

If you enjoyed The Omen series (which this game generously borrows from), then you might find something to like in Lucius.  Its unsatisfying ending, that despite leaving many questions unanswered, at least leaves the option open for a sequel that is perhaps more refined, tighter, and better-executed.","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.ign.com\u002Farticles\u002F2012\u002F11\u002F07\u002Flucius-review","2012-11-07","6",60,{"id":50,"author":51,"outlet":54,"summary":59,"review_url":60,"review_date":61,"original_score":62,"normalized_score":63},55014,{"id":52,"name":53},4550,"Violet Plata",{"id":55,"logo":56,"name":57,"website_url":58,"score_format":43},45,"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.criticdb.com\u002Fstorage\u002Fv1\u002Fobject\u002Fpublic\u002Favatars\u002FOutlets\u002FGameGrin%20Logo.png","GameGrin","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.gamegrin.com\u002F","Whilst Lucius is an incredibly fun and unique puzzle game, the sheer number of bugs and slightly annoying ending somewhat brought the game down at the end.","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.gamegrin.com\u002Freviews\u002Flucius-review\u002F","2023-01-18","7.50",75,{"id":65,"author":66,"outlet":69,"summary":74,"review_url":75,"review_date":76,"original_score":77,"normalized_score":78},69292,{"id":67,"name":68},5344,"billd75",{"id":70,"logo":71,"name":72,"website_url":73,"score_format":43},26,"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.criticdb.com\u002Fstorage\u002Fv1\u002Fobject\u002Fpublic\u002Favatars\u002FOutlets\u002FGameSkinny-logo.png","Game Skinny","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.gameskinny.com","Lucius is great fun.
