Lure of the Temptress was Revolution’s very first adventure game and work began on it in 1989, even before Revolution’s inception as an actual games development company. From the start our aim was to consider the contemporary adventures of the day and then bring something new to the genre. From this came the Virtual Theatre engine. VT allowed in-game characters to wander around the gameworld indepently of each other, living their own lives and doing their own thing. Another feature allowed the player to give direct orders to Helper characters - in this case Ratpouch - who would then go off to perform the task. These technology concepts were certainly unique, though Revolution were not sure how to develop them further in subsequent games. Nonetheless, the result was a quirky and entertaining adventure game that kicked off Revolution’s fondness for characterisation and in-game humour.
Lure of the Temptress was originally released for ST, Amiga and PC.

Back Cover (CD-version Box):
Trouble is afoot in the once peaceful land of Turnvale... Skorl warriors (vicious mercenaries under the control of the mysterious Temptress) have arrived. But who is the Temptress, and more importantly, where is she?
Revolution Software, critically acclaimed for their recent charttopper Broken Sword, created a ground breaking 'Virtual Theatre' for Lure fo the Temptress. This is not just another adventure game, things are a little bit more realistic.
All the characters involved in the story (and there are heaps) all lead little lives of their own. They walk here, they walk there, they do this, they do that and they talk to other characters, exchanging gossip... And you, our hero, must enter this world if peace is to return to Turnvale...
