Lure of the Temptress is a fantasy graphic adventure game released in 1992 for MS-DOS. Developed by Revolution Software Ltd. and published by Konami of America, Inc., it is a point and click adventure presented from a third-person perspective. The game incorporates puzzle elements within its narrative-driven structure.

Players control Diermot, an ordinary man captured and imprisoned by the skorl, a warrior race serving the sorceress Selena. The primary objective is to escape captivity and then work to liberate the medieval town of Turnvale from Selena's control. Progression is achieved by exploring environments, gathering items, and solving logical puzzles to advance the story. A key gameplay system involves interacting with a supporting character who can be given specific orders to help overcome certain obstacles. The game also utilizes a feature called Virtual Theater, where non-playable characters operate on independent schedules and perform actions regardless of player input, creating a dynamic world.

The adventure unfolds as Diermot, after escaping with help, investigates disappearances, acquires disguises, and fulfills tasks for various townspeople. These actions lead him to discover the deeper historical threat behind Selena's rise and to seek a mythical artifact, the Eye of Gethryn, which is necessary to confront her. The final stages of the game involve infiltrating Selena's castle to use this power and break her hold over the land.
