Lucius is the debut production of Shiver Games, published by Lace Mamba Global, a company which has released numerous adventure games. This title is a rather unusual one because the player’s main task is to sophistically kill the inhabitants of a mansion.

We assume the role of Lucius, a boy born on June 6 1966, who starts to show his true colors at the age of six. It turns out that the devil tainted the soul of this innocent child. Our task is to show that this essence of evil cannot be stopped by anyone or anything.

Lucius is an adventure game that takes place in a grand mansion, while gameplay involves setting traps for its inhabitants using everyday items. The occupants should die in such a way that their death looks like an accident and no fingers are pointed at the six-year old boy. With each successful kill, Lucius gains a new supernatural ability, such as mind control or moving objects, to help him achieve his goal more effectively. Moreover, as we progress, we uncover the secrets of the family that lives in the mansion and the way it came to with infernal forces.
