Immerse yourself in Lure of the Temptress, the debut adventure from Revolution Software, the legendary creators of Broken Sword.

A medieval rebellion against dark sorcery
In a land gripped by tyranny, you play as Diermot, a humble peasant caught in a revolt that topples the kingdom. Captured and thrown into the dungeons of the sorceress Selena, you awaken in the corrupted town of Turnvale, a place where the free will of its citizens has been replaced by fear.
The story unfolds in a living world where townsfolk follow routines, whisper secrets, and shift allegiances. You will escape your cell, rally the citizens, exploit guard patterns, and infiltrate the Temptress’s lair. Every conversation and small act of defiance pushes the rebellion forward.
Rich in atmosphere and medieval intrigue, Lure of the Temptress set a new standard for dynamic NPC behavior and emergent storytelling in early 90s adventures.
