‘Lust For Darkness’ Launches Kickstarter Page, New Trailer
Back in June, we reported on Lunar Cult Studios’ Lust For Darkness, an FPP that combines the erotic with Cthulhu-inspired imagery. Well, the game’s publisher, PlayWay, has released a new trailer and Kickstarter page for the game, which shows off more kinky stuff.
As before, the trailer features that Victorian mansion filled with what you’d expect from an intimate get-together like this. Like sex machines and an erotic dancer. This is on top of the Lovecraftian and surrealist Zdzisław Beksiński-inspired imagery. The game’s already hit its goal on Kickstarter, with over 33 days left. If you donate, you’ll get early access to the alpha demo (similar to how Agony worked, which is also being published by PlayWay). To get your money in there, click here. The game’s Steam Page lists it being released to Early Access October 16.
Just don’t let your parents/younger sibling/significant other catch you watching this trailer.

Legendary Grimdark ‘Warhammer 40,000’ Artist John Blanche Has Passed Away at 78
In the grim darkness of the far future there is only war, but it was a cheerful illustrator from England who helped to define the terrifying war-torn imagery that inspired what we now know as Grimdark (a hybrid genre combining horror with sci-fi/fantasy).
Unfortunately for fans of Warhammer 40,000, Trench Crusade and countless other sources of Grimdark thrills, veteran artist John Blanche passed away this week after struggling with health issues for the past few years.
While the artist retired back in 2023, he leaves us with an enormous legacy of iconic artwork that continues to inspire gamers and storytellers around the world to this very day.
The news is especially gloomy as it was only last year that Daniel Lowman and Napoleon Dynamite himself Jon Heder released The Grim & the Dark: The Search for John Blanche, a documentary following Heder’s exploration of the Grimdark genre culminating in a heartwarming encounter with Blanche in his own home.
Below is one of my favorite pieces by Blanche, his highly influential depiction of Warhammer 40k’s God-Emperor of Mankind on his Golden Throne.
We send our deepest condolences to John Blanche’s family, friends, and fans.
