About It Lurks! A Noir Horror RPG.
Synopsis:
Meet Nate Hendricks, a Private Detective who's a bit down on his luck.
Business has been slow and with the bills piling up Nate may have to soon close-up shop. He just needs a break. Perhaps one good case could help him turn things around.
Then one evening, he gets a call from a Doctor Offenhauser who wants to hire him. The Doc doesn't give many details over the phone, but insists it's an urgent matter that can't wait.
Some Game Features:
* An exciting turn-based and interactive battle-system. Quick reflexes and a strategic use of actions can help you to overcome dangerous foes. Weapons include a .38 Special gun which can be a Detective's best friend when in a tough jam. It shoots fast and deals a lot of damage, but ammo is limited so choose to use it wisely. There's also a trusty Combat-Knife used for melee attacks. Plus you'll have skills and items that can also help.
* Walls in the foreground will become solid as the Player-character moves away from them, and become translucent when nearing them to help you better explore an area.
* Fitting music and sound-effects used throughout the game.
* Some sounds (fire in the fireplace, clocks-ticking, etc...) will become louder or softer as the Player-character nears or walks away from the source.
* A dark story and a creepy manor to explore.
* A nice looking menu-system.
* Use of lighting and other cool effects.

[b]My Playtime:[/b] 1.3h (finished the game) [h1]Intro[/h1] [b]It Lurks![/b] is a short turn-based [i]RPG Maker[/i] game with QTE elements. It features scripted combat and autosaves to make exploration easier with a bit of resource management in between. [b]Pros:[/b] - Scripted combat - Interactable objects can be identified easily - Option to toggle QTE on and off [b]Cons:[/b] - It's hard to move precisely since you need to hold down the arrow keys for a while before you can move - QTE is useless if an enemy uses a skill - A lot of objects are obscured by the wall [b]Specs[/b] Intel Core i5-9300H 2.40GHz, 8GB RAM, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 [h1]Should you buy this game?[/h1] [b]No.[/b] [i]The game is mediocre, but I don't think it's fun to walk around with how the movement works and the QTE needs some work.[/i] [hr][/hr] [h1]In-Depth Review[/h1] [h3]Visuals[/h3] I can't remember the asset pack name, but I do recognize that the game uses a commercially sold asset pack. It's not a bad thing, though. The mapping itself is good enough for a game of this price, although I don't like how the game obscures the objects on the south side with a wall. The wall will only be transparent …22 found this helpful
Starts off okay, and then ends suddenly. A cheap, short RPGMaker horror-rpg. It has a nice start with exploration and lore and then it just gets stupid with a few battles and the game end.2 found this helpful
I wouldn't consider it an RPG since there's no open world, i beat it a little drunk and stoned without dying once within 63 minutes. and 10 of the minutes were me afk to smoke a bowl. It had potential but half ass released it. I strongly do not recommend this unless you are bored1 found this helpful

I was looking for something reminiscent of Fear and Hunger and played for the first time today on stream. I liked the storytelling and pace of the gameplay, and found the combat system novel but intuitive enough. I was really getting into it when the credits began rolling after I realised was the final battle! I'd love the dev to pick up the story and give us a 'full' game! All in all, I'd certainly recommend this to anyone interested in rpgs and who's looking for something they can tackle in an hour or two. Good stuff.
I got stuck :( But the game is good.
