The M Edition is a censored version of Lust from Beyond, removing explicit sexual content. [1][2][3]

BEWARE: THIS "M EDITION" IS THE CENSURED ONE. I do not see any other reasons to label it if not to scam customers. Do not buy this version, the mature part is an essential one to the game.

I am not a fan of walking sims. I am also not a fan of run and hide games. This game is both. I decided to give it a chance anyway, but the thing that enraged me the most was the glitchiness of the thing. You're doing timed challenges and there are people chasing after you, and yet you have to try 4 times to get the bolt cutters to cut a chain. The last straw for me was when I was in the theater, AGAIN doing …

M Edition Let's start with the topic most people are interested in a year after the original version got released. This new edition excludes all genitalia and keeps the nudity to a bare minimum. This means that during orgy scenes all participants have their underwear on. There is one particular scene with defecation - this has completely been removed along with the corresponding achievement that requires us to watch …

Censored version of the game. Honestly it loses the "beauty" a bit. I also played Lust for Darkness and I can confidently say that they are both excellent Horror games with Erotic content. 6/10 for the censored version. 8/10 for the original one.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Do yourself a favor, and watch a 'lets play' of the first 20 minutes of the game before buying it. Personally, this is NOT for me, but I'm giving it a good review because it certainly delivers what the title describes. It just delivers a bit more than my innocent brain can handle. I give it a "NOT FOR ME" out of 10.

Let's have a fun time together~💕 This game is an erotic horror story influenced by the works of H. P. Lovecraft, H. R. Giger, and Zdzisław Beksiński. 🗓️Saturday October 19th at 9PM EST
neutral · AI labelView post →I own the original version of Lust From Beyond and loved it. I loved the erotic aspect of the game it was unlike any game I own. Having played the original I found the M Edition to be lacking. It just felt like something was missing. Some of the transitions into Lusst'ghaa felt like you just teleported there rather than tranistioning to the land of ecstasy through some sort of sexual pleasure. This version is great if you are unable to obtain the original version in your country/region and you…

I accidentally bought the censored version, didn't try it out until a month later and that means I can't get a refund on it. This game also has some serious loading issues. It's not the first time I've had issues with it. When I first bought it last year it wouldn't start at all. It was a common bug and I couldn't get any help from customer support. Now with a new computer it does work. It's just completely pointless. This game isn't that good…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's a mid level horror game, but I wouldn't recommend this version too much was cut and censored, game no longer fits the name and the theme just go play the old version
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Went through the Hellraiser game demo earlier today. So far, a great fusion of things I enjoy from Manhunt, Alien: Isolation, Condemned, and Lust From Beyond. Always annoyed by run-fast-don't-make-mistake-oops-you're-dead-try-again style horror game chases, though ha I am sold, though, I think 🤔

No, you need to mix it up.

You need range and this game has it. It Uses all the tricks in the book. Shadowy stuff. Gore. Threats. Otherworld stuff. Jump scares too, rather…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →So I had seen this game before and had thought about trying it and then it came up in part of a bundle. I was aware there was the original game and then a censored version, as far as I was concerned it would only be worth playing the original uncensored version, so when this version said this was the M version (ie I assumed like most would that this was the MATURE version) I bought the bundle only to discover for some bizarre reason M meant NOT Mature ie censored. I have played a fair bit of it…

This is not bad game, but, if i compare with full edition, it is like kissing through glass, or like cult of ecstasy without ecstasy. I fully understand authors to be able to provide game for wider audience, but if you are not purist, you definitely should buy uncensored version instead. And if you have purists in government, i definitively recoomend to first vote…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Mix some Amnesia, a bit of Outlast and way too much Scorn and you end up with this. I might of enjoyed it more if I actually knew this was the censored version. When I see 'M Edition', I'm thinking 'Mature Edition' and not 'Man, They Censored All The Titties Edition'. Luckily it still has some ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up moments, just no titties. It does have a story and dialogue, sadly it's pretty bad. The story is pretty weak, even Lovecraft and porn (well, it's censored so not much of that) can't save…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Note: This is same game as Lust From Beyond and censored version so interactive sex scenes are cut out. So some cutscenes and epilogues will be shorter cutting hardcore aspect and 1 orgy related achievement cut out. Except for couple of objects added without affecting story nothing is missing or added or different. Only a couple of minor things added or blurred is impacted. They could have at least added some bonus. The censored version however removes extra content that was basically 4 rooms…

This version censors genitalia and keeps the nudity to a bare minimum while also ridding of overly sexual/adult scenes. You play as Victor Holloway, an antiquarian who is being haunted by nightmares of another world. These sinister nightmares convince Victor to embark on a journey to see a doctor as per recommended by his girlfriend. This game is heavily…

I only played the M Edition instead because it was way cheaper for me and the uncut version isn't available in my country (Germany). How I love that... So I haven't exactly the comparison but as I played the other "Lust" games I can imagine; also it's often pretty obvious when something got censored in the M Edition. And I must say the censoring in this…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I was captivated by the game's creepy atmosphere, interesting art direction, and excellent locations. The plot is very engaging, and the characters we meet on our way are terrifying. I strongly recommend it to every horror fan.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Completed the first 2 chapters and the only thing I was lusting for, was something to happen. Boring cupboard searching, handle jiggling (and no, not that kind of handle) simulator that relies of lazy jump scares inbetween edgy erotica.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This version of the game is like the equivalent to waking up at 3AM to a Girls Gone Wild Infomercial at the ripe age of 11. You see the potential and appeal of it all, maybe even a little excited at first, but sadly the cruel censor dictatorship leaves you completely unsatisfied. Just left there wondering how great it could have all been. It boils down to be a stupendously mediocre game ever brought down by the fact that they CHOSE to censor it. The game has a really decent art direction that…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Lust from Beyond: M Edition is a heavily censored version of Lust from Beyond. They put clothes on everything and took out most of the sex scenes. Still the same game, but alittle shorter, prefect for speedruning it. Please refer to my Lust from Beyond review for my thoughts, they didn't change.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Could look past the minor glitches/bugs if it weren't for a game breaking bug where after Chapter 4 the game loads the next level to 100% and then crashes. Verified files, reinstalled entire game nothing changes. The crash has happened at least 7 times now and is literally unplayable. Would NOT recommend. Funny that it happened to me at the 3h mark where it's too late to refund.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's ok. I only beat it because of sunken cost but this isn't anything I'd really recommend playing, it becomes very tedious and not very scary and borderline cliche.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →the M edition is terrible, immediate uninstall after play through. Most likely because of the cut off of scenes and scenematics. Possibly the original game is good.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I had to stop because ultimately the mechanics of this game are horrendous. Enemies see you through walls and sometimes can walk through the object you are hiding behind to hunt you. Interesting horror storyline. But couldn't get past the clunky. I had assumed M meant explicit content, but it actually means censored. I played through a significant part of the story before giving up and looking up. Learned what the original version was, anyone who thinks this version is not VERY different…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Explicit, scary and disgusting. Couldn't put myself through the game, but it is technically good game. Design and graphics are incredible, considering that it is, after all, an Unity game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I really wish I could say something more positive about this game. There is something about its atmosphere and art design that I really like, even if it feels a tad too edgy. There is something very mysterious going on here that I would love to explore. But…. The big issue is the gameplay. The gameplay is garbage. Even the running and walking mechanics are bad and this is probably the only game I have played, where, if you crouch and look up, you will see what I assume is your own back or…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Got for free in the Ukraine humble bundle, played about a third of the game before I couldn't be bothered anymore. The story may get better later on but frankly wasn't that interesting up to the start of chapter 5.

The graphics are alright at higher settings but as I said terribly optimised, but at lower settings could have come out a…

I wasn't expecting Lust from Beyond has a solid storyline to push forward, I was mostly enjoying the quaint antique shop, the well made 2-story house, and the deserted town - absolutely fascinating, I love the empty street with lights from above and its reflections, making the town mysterious and creepy with an art feeling.

When you start the game, you dont really have to solve anything, still it took me about 30 minutes to get out of cult house, bcs I was admiring the enviroment. This is art, for me it can be done as walking simulator and I will enjoy it. But there is more, good story and constant tension.
