''Lucius'' is a 2012 horror/stealth video game for PC.

Lucius Wagner is born at June 6, 1966, and nobody expected him to be anything other than a normal boy. On the day of his 6th birthday, he has killed Mary, one of the household maids, by locking her in a freezer.

During the night, he has contact with Lucifer by a dream, revealing the fact to him that he is TheAntiChrist. He has ordered him to murder all the people in the manor so that he can gain all the wealth he wanted.
