'Lust for Darkness' (ALL) Returns To Switch, Sanitized As Dawn Edition

by Rainier on March 16, 2020 @ 12:06 p.m. PDT

Lust for Darkness is a psychological horror game of seeking satisfaction on the border of two intertwining worlds.

An intriguing plot with erotic and occult themes guides the player's character through the Yelvertones' victorian mansion and a perverse land inspired with Lovecraft's works and paintings of Zdzisław Beksiński.

Jonathan Moon receives a letter from his wife who has gone missing a year before. Following information from the message he heads for a secluded mansion where an eldritch, occult ceremony takes place.
Gates to another world - the profane, perverse land of Lusst’ghaa are opened.

Move in both a victorian mansion and Lusst’ghaa - an alien dimension filled with otherworldly creatures. Lusst’ghaa used to be similar to our earth until the local beings decided to undergo total degeneration at their own wish. Through experiments they transformed their bodies so that they could never cease to experience carnal delights. Hundreds of years have passed since that metamorphosis and Lusst’ghaa is now a land overgrown with alien vegetation and full of monstrosities squirming in a never ending ecstasy.

Lust for Darkness appeared on Nintendo Switch last year and shortly after that vanished from American eShop due to ESRB concerns. The game occurred to be too strong, even for a mature American audience, getting a post-release Adults Only rating, and consequently, being removed from local eShop.

After tweaking a controversial content and reworking the most contentious assets, SimFabric is happy to announce Lust for Darkness: Dawn Edition. A special version of the game adapted to the American rating policy. Lust for Darkness is still naughty and full of erotic tension - the game hasn't lost its DNA. It has been just reworked here and there, according to ESRB recommendations and will return to distribution in the United States, Canada, and Mexico.

OK, but what about European and Australian audiences? Lust for Darkness is available there with PEGI 18 rating since its debut in 2019. Dawn Edition will thus be a second available version, for those who don't feel comfortable with explicit and overt use of sexual imagery on Switch, but at the same time would love to dive into the world inspired with Lovecraft's works and paintings of Zdzisław Beksiński. European and Australian newcomers will have a choice. American players will have an... opportunity to find out what is hidden in the mysterious Lusst’ghaa dimension.

Lust for Darkness: Dawn Edition will be available on March 20th for $15/EUR 12,99. You can currently preorder the game with a 10% discount on eShop.
