Lure of the Temptress

Lure of the Temptress is Revolution Software’s first quest about a long, long, far, far away ...

The evil sorceress Selena and her army Skorlov capture the town of Turnvale, kill his ruler and, in general, behave like a pig. The simple guy Dermot, who ended up in a dungeon under the new regime, flees from there - and with our help he is going to return justice to the place, and punish the villain ...

This is the first game on the Virtual Theater engine, which also uses Beneath a Steel Sky and Broken Sword. Its main essence is that extras do not stand still, but go back and forth about their business, following their simple daily routine. In fact, the main design find of the game is a banal technological demo of the engine - our partner, Ratpuch jester, obeys our orders. It can be either a simple “Ratpuch, open that door” command or a muddled “Ratpuch, take this stick, go to the square with it and hit her the first person you meet.” This is the main drawback of the game - there are a lot of scenes that cannot be completed without such combinatorics, but the necessary sequence of actions (after all, these are not Goblins, changing the given command is not so easy here!) Is chosen for an extremely long time, which does not give much pleasure .

Nevertheless, you can clearly trace where the cinematography legs of subsequent games from Warner and the company come from - a screensaver made just like a movie, plausible dialogs with a sense of humor, and even some kind of music - all this sets the way. So if you don’t worry about the local interface, you are welcome...
