Shiver Games announces Lucius II: The Prophecy, saying this gory adventure sequel to Lucius is slated to come to Steam early next year. This announcement trailer shows off the game's eerie Saw-like setting and some of disturbing goings on. Here's a bit on the game:

Shiver Games has been developing Lucius II: The Prophecy for almost two years, ever since the release of Lucius. The gameplay and feel of Lucius II has been improved by adding features many felt were missing, while still respecting the humorous and shocking integrity of the original game. “The main goal has been to add more freedom and to deliver a sandbox-type setting for the murderous kid – Be ready to use your creativity for inflicting pain and suffering, because this time the restrictions are gone and the sins have multiplied!” said Johannes Aikio of Shiver Games.

The story of Lucius II continues where the original left off: Lucius emerges as the lone survivor of the burning wreckage his parents once called home, unscathed from the ruthless slaughter he had unleashed. He had taken the weak and punished the wicked. He had looked through their souls and found the true selves they had been hiding.
