Lyonesse by Rabbit Hole Games is coming to Windows PC on October 19th

New studio promises to deliver a unique gaming experience inspired by Japanese Shunga, erotic literature, and mythology.

About

The innovative new UK studio Rabbit Hole Games have announced their first title: Lyonesse. It is expected to launch on Steam on October 19th. Lyonesse is a point-and-click adventure game made unique through its intricate hand-painted art style and exploration of mythology and eroticism.

"Lyonesse is very different to the erotic games players can currently find on the steam store," say the team of two behind Lyonesse. The artist and developer describe how they "wanted to make a game that went beyond pornography; a voyage into strange and fantastic impossibilities akin to Japanese Shunga."

Story

Lyonesse is a mythical land off the coast of Cornwall. The Edenic isle was buried under the sea because the gods were envious of the inhabitants’ lives of absolute hedonism. On stormy days, fishermen still claim to catch nefarious relics from the city in their nets.

In Lyonesse the player takes on the role of an explorer who has navigated the perilous journey to the island after hearing the stories of its wondrous beauty. Alone, you row to shore and discover its secrets.

The game’s story is organised into four seasons of festivities. Each season, the voyeur is visited by a band of nymphs. Between each act, the player sleeps under a great orange tree. On your journey, you are accompanied by two kittens named Crucible and Caliban. As the seasons proceed, the orange trees slowly flourish and begin to bear fruit.

Features

The player experiences the mythical land by navigating through hundreds of hand-painted watercolour panels. Every visual element of Lyonesse has been intricately crafted by a single artist. Each individual artwork was painted on high-quality gouache paper and digitised to create the game's unique aesthetic. The creators describe how they envisioned playing Lyonesse to feel like living inside an illuminated manuscript. Every panel of Lyonesse has been carefully considered and stands as an artwork in its own right.

The island can be explored in an entirely modest manner. The depth of sexual adventures pursued is up to the player. There is no goal to Lyonesse; the game is a labyrinth of curiosities.

Lyonesse is expected to launch for PC on October 19th for £6.00 UK / $8.00 USD / €6.50 EUR on the steam store. The developers intend to release the game on Mac systems in 2022. The game is available to purchase here. (As the game is erotic, you must be signed in to your Steam account to view this page)
