I played this game two years ago and I still think about it! The mechanics encourage you to think about the mystery itself, rather than brute force it. The story is compelling and its conclusion is satisfying. Lucifer Within Us is truly one of a kind! I love recommending this game to people. Thanks for a great experience.
Found this game while scrolling through a 100 game bundle I bought last year. This game is AMAZING. It's short, so you may want to buy it in a bundle/on sale, but it's a must play. The gameplay is creative, the art is beautiful, and it's such a fun game.
It is a really great game. I got it in a Bundle and I do not regret spending a few hours playing it. It is maybe a bit short for $20 but on sales or in a bundle, it's perfect!
I would love to find this game machanic in another game! I loved the timeline mechanic!
Got it in the bundle and just finished it, took aprox 4 hours (three missions). I play alot of murder mystery & point and click style games and this one has some really interesting ideas i would like to see more of. I can easily see the detective part of the game tweeked and used again with another narrative. Personally found the tutorial part of first mission too controlling and overly-complicated, i understood more when it just allowed me to play. And got a lil stuck near the end when i wasn't sure what it wanted me to do to get the answer i had already worked out... Over all it was fun and i would recommend it.
I really enjoyed this game. Others have commented on the length and I too wished it was a little longer; I felt I had just gotten into the groove of each little mechanic. The ability to inquire about specific portions of a story or each character's knowledge of a piece of physical evidence is very nice. With lots of options at the user's fingertips, it's satisfying when your own curiosity is reflected in the ability to formulate a "question" that pushes the narrative forward. I never felt like I was simply choosing from a predetermined list of options.
I will say that I wish the glimpses (shadows) of characters were less obvious when recounting the memories. If the suspect can't recall what a person looked like, or didn't see them at all, I shouldn't be able to clearly make out their outline either. Also, the only functional bug I saw was the timeline slider acting funny on my ultra-wide monitor, but it could be worked around quite easily.
Regardless of those little things, I think the core here is very strong. With a well written narrative, these mechanics could be expanded nicely to a range of settings. While I liked the daemons storyline, this gameplay would be enjoyable in a huge range of circumstances; from school-yard sleuthing to neighbourhood detective to a deeply intertwined whodunnit.
amazing game!! i loved the way the investigations played out and the plot. i only wish it could have been longer, but i feel like the length of the game was well suited for the story it wanted to tell. excited for a potential sequel / game with similar mechanics in the future :)
What an amazing game! It made so much fun to play, and the visuals as well as the voice acting were simply amazing. Like some others already said, it would have been great, if the game were a little longer, especially to give it more time with the worldbuilding. All in all it's a really enjoyable game and I'll definitely recommend it. Also, the ending kind of made me hopeful, that there could be a sequel. :3
This game was very fun, its pretty cool you use can use other people's testimony to point out contradictions as well as evidence, most detective games seem to only focus on evidence.
The art and voice acting is really good, and there are no walls of text, so it was consistently engaging.
good game! the 3d models would sometime act awkward and the audio clips would occasionally get cut off. and often times the audio and cc didnt match- but did all that really matter? not really because i havent seen a game like this before. i usually hate VN but this was interactive enough to keep me immersed!! do hope to see more stories from this world
This was wonderful. This was the perfect medium between a detailed detective game and a visual novel, the level of interaction kept me engaged following the story but also wasn't enough to distract from the story. The universe, visuals, and voice acting were beautiful, I will likely play it many more times.
A very interesting game, but something a little frustrating is that if you go to Gideon first and take his testimony, the game sort of traps you if you haven't gotten some other evidence first - you can't exit his dialogue but Ada keeps telling you to examine the Miriam's arrival bit even if you don't have anything to accuse or contradict him with.
Holy mackerel, what a game. I love the aesthetics, the voice acting, the gameplay, carefully listening to slightly different stories and comparing them, working out discrepancies. This is really really well done - and my favourite part is, there's no time pressure, and in the end you can't completely mess it up, giving you the freedom to experiment and try out theories.
A gem of a game! Beautiful art, great voice acting, and such an interesting world/lore! Gameplay was fun and fluid (only drag I really had was solving the last case, contradictions were a little tricky in that one).
I would love to fund a remake of this game with additional cases or a sequel, or both! Hope to see more of this!

Fantastic gameplay, works great on OSX Monterey. I was hooked until the very end!

Amazing game. I keep coming back every few months hoping for a sequel or more games like this from Kitfox. I would love a longer game!
Loved the gameplay - like a complicated and beautifully art directed logic puzzle. Finished it quickly one evening, would love to play a sequel!

This is a really good game. I enjoyed it so much. Well worth the money. The visuals and voice acting were incredible.
Flawless! Just a bit too short.

Would love to see a sequel game. This was the first game in this genre that I have played and you have me hooked
So well done, but so short. The ending feels like it needs a much longer game with more world building before we get there.
This game was very fun, its pretty cool you use can use other people's testimony to point out contradictions as well as evidence, most detective games seem to only focus on evidence.
The art and voice acting is really good, and there are no walls of text, so it was consistently engaging.
I took about 3 hours to complete it

Comprei na Steam e devo dizer que é um jogo sensacional!!!! E que plot twist no final!!!

Really enjoyed this game!! Like nothing I've ever played before. Well done!

cannot open this game on macos
I had the same issues, but it works correctly if you install and run it from the itch app
Ohhhh ok thnks

Amazing game. Took me until the end of the graveyard to realize that you can use items to contradict so I was stuck way longer than i needed to lol.
