Shiver Games announces the release of Lucius II: The Prophecy for Windows on Steam, offering an action/adventure sequel picking up the story of the original game. The game carries a 15% discount for the next week, and this launch trailer offers a look at "some the more gruesome aspects," and features music for Lucius the game from Lucius the band. Here's word:

Lucius II: The Prophecy is a sequel to the notorious horror game Lucius, where players get to experience true evil in an atmospheric 1970’s setting. The game is a 3D splatter-adventure sandbox where you play as Lucius, the son of the devil, wreaking havoc on everyone in your path: taking the weak and punishing the wicked. The gameplay in the sequel has been greatly revamped to add freedom, with more twisted opportunities for sinning and devastation than ever before.

The story in Lucius II continues where the original game left off. This time around, the young boy Lucius emerges from the burning wreckage of his parents' home as the lone survivor, unscathed by the flames and ready to repeat his ruthless slaughter. Lucius is taken to the psychiatric ward of St. Benedict’s Hospital by unsuspecting caretakers, where whispers of an ominous prophecy find their way to the boy’s ears. Lucius decides to act yet again to regain his lost powers. But little does he know of his new adversaries.
