Lure of the Temptress is the first game by Revolution Software, the studio later known for Beneath a Steel Sky and Broken Sword. It was released in 1992 and tells the story of Diermot, a peasant who wakes up in a dungeon after the sorceress Selena and her Skorl warriors take over the town of Turnvale.

The game introduced Revolution's Virtual Theatre system: the people of Turnvale walk around, talk and work on their own, and you can give commands to other characters to help you. Revolution released the game as freeware in 2007 together with ScummVM, which runs it here in your browser.
