Lucius Demake

About

Lucius Demake is a gory 80s-style adventure where you play a telekinetic kid slaughtering everyone in his mansion. Using crude pixel-art graphics, the game lets you manipulate objects and control victims’ actions to stage gruesome deaths. Each kill is messy and exaggerated, from impalements to bludgeonings, all rendered in blocky 16-bit style. The story follows Lucius as he unleashes hell on his family and guests, combining point-and-click exploration with over-the-top violence. The game stands out for its deliberately crude aesthetic, merging retro visuals with brutal content in a way that feels deliberately provocative. Players appreciate the tongue-in-cheek approach and the way it leans into its low-res grotesquery, though it’s not for the faint of heart. With a cult following and a Metacritic score of 62, it’s a divisive but memorable take on classic horror tropes reimagined through a pixelated lens.

Storyline

When Lucius was born on the June 6th, 1966, nobody expected him to be anything other than a normal little boy but everything changed on Lucius’ 6th Birthday, when his true calling was revealed to him. Equipped with supernatural powers, take control of Lucius as he begins his blood filled tour of horror through his own house, using Hell’s powers of telekinesis and mind control to orchestrate deadly accidents that will minimize the population of the Dante Manor one by one by one.
