Lust from Beyond is a psychological horror adventure developed by Movie Games Lunarium and released for PC in 2021. Players take on the role of Victor Holloway, an antiquarian haunted by recurring visions of a nightmarish realm where pain and pleasure become indistinguishable. Seeking answers, Victor becomes entangled with the Cult of Ecstasy, an esoteric sect whose blasphemous rituals draw him deeper into the mysteries of Lusst'ghaa, a mythical otherworldly domain. The game blends occult and erotic themes with survival horror mechanics — players can run, hide, sneak, or fight — alongside mind-bending puzzles and RPG-like progression systems shaped by meaningful choices. Its visual and thematic style draws heavily from the unsettling works of H.P. Lovecraft, H.R. Giger, and Zdzisław Beksiński. Atmospheric audio was recorded on location in derelict period buildings. The title is a follow-up to Movie Games Lunarium's earlier work, Lust for Darkness.
