Lucifer Within Us

Lucifer Within Us is a story-driven mystery game in which you investigate murders in a society shaped by daemonic possession and invasive soul-scanning technology. You play a digital exorcist serving the Church of Ain Soph’s Inquisition, tasked with identifying infected citizens and casting out their daemons to preserve harmony.

The last human city

Built on the rubble of the Old World, the last human city presents itself as a utopia of progress, digitization and art. The Church guides its citizens toward advancement and Truth through a digital consciousness network. Yet beneath centuries of teaching people to think pure thoughts and speak true words, dark desires stir. Digital daemons corrupt the network and drive their human hosts to act on secret desires and sins, even murder.

Investigate the cases

The game contains three cases. You question suspects and examine their movements, testimonies and timelines, which may be based on lies. By connecting contradictions and clues, you form your own hypotheses about who is lying, why they are lying and who is possessed. You must decide what is true from the evidence, and finding a murderer requires understanding the case rather than simply following the story.

Exorcise the daemons

You enter citizens’ minds to examine their subconscious and uncover what they want to hide. After accusing the guilty, you can cast out their daemons through quarantine, exorcism or rehabilitation. These actions can damage a citizen’s psyche; the game frames that damage as a consequence of the citizen’s immorality.

Mystery-solving relies on the information you find: the cases have no hidden plot twists, quick-time events, random puzzles or minigames. Your task is to uncover the One Truth while also considering the possibility of being deceived by your own beliefs.
