Lucius Demake Out Now!

A game based on fan art accompanied by a gruesomely DEMADE trailer. Lucius Demake is a reimagining of the original Lucius game, made to look as if it is actually from the late 80s, complete with 2D pixel graphics and 16 colors. Why did Shiver Games decide to do something like this? It all started when Gergely Sink, a fan of the original game, created a mock-up concept picture: The image resonated with the team so much that they decided Lucius needed to be completely reborn in the 1980s. Shiver Games reached out to Gergely and asked him to recreate the whole game with them in his distinctive style. He was hired and the devil's son was born again this time, with only twelve pixels. The story in Lucius Demake stays true to the original game. Taking control of the devils son, its your job to wreak havoc in the vast mansion that is Dante Manor. Each chapter follows the formula set by the original game, minus a few instances where youll get a more authentic 80s arcade style experience to fit in with Gergelys style. Lucius Demake features a full-length story that will take between 5 to 8 hours to complete, and will take you back twenty years to invoke those precious pixelated memories of video games from your childhood or let you experience them now for the first time. http://store.steampowered.com/app/364230/
