Review by Matt S. Tale of Tales continues to prove that it is the preeminent developer of games that are not just artistic by accident; they're developed specifically to be art. And they're an eclectic team to say the least; after such dark projects as The Path and The Graveyard, Luxuria Superbia couldn't be more of a thematic foil. This game is positively filled with colour.
It's also a not-so subtle metaphor for the act of pleasuring a women. In Luxuria Superbia your job is to delve into the depths of a flower and stimulate it by rubbing on buds as they appear on the screen. The more stimulated the flower is the more colourful it becomes. In practice it's a little like a scrolling shooter, and points are accumulated by keeping the flower simulated. The twist is that if you oversimulate it the flower will climax and its game over.
