About Lurking in Tenebris
You’ve accepted a mysterious job from a random person, agreeing to participate in a scientific drug trial in an abandoned facility deep in the forest. Your task? Navigate through three mazes while testing substances that distort your perception and impair your abilities. Each pill you take brings you a step closer to the truth, blurring the line between reality and hallucination. With each pill, the mazes become more dangerous and your perception less reliable. You’ll feel the weight of isolation and paranoia as the environment twists and turns around you. The facility holds secrets, and the environment is willing to threaten you. Can you uncover the purpose of this experiment, or will you lose yourself in the darkness? It's not just regular thinking required for your survival; good listening-skills are a must too. The substances you’re testing alter your perception, making every sound a potential warning or a cruel trick of the mind. Hallucinations creep into your senses, intensifying the risk of panic and even heart failure. Randomly placed closets and ladders offer brief respite.
Key Features:
- Dynamic Environment: Get used to the changing environment.
- Multiple Endings: Shape the outcome based on your choice.
- Hiding System: Remember specific hiding spots and hide when in danger.
- Challenging Gameplay: Navigate through the mazes without getting lost.
- Immersive Sound Design: Pay attention to the sounds around you, indicating whether you are in danger or not.
- Psychological Tension: Are you ready to withhold a place where hallucinations blur the line between reality and fear?

This game is a rush! I played one game of it on my own to do a review, but will be playing it again for a let's play! But here is the review: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k9TzL0HGaWs I give the game a 8.5 out of 10. Pros: $1, Intense game play & audio, Visually pleasing, SOLID movement (finally, a horror game that doesn't have you feeling stiff).3 found this helpful
ive only played for a quarter of an hr but already in the 15 mins ive played, ive been thrilled. interesting story and the mechanics of this game is fun and engaging too.
(As of Jan 10) Lurking in Tenebris is a short, challenging horror game where you collect all the pills in a maze whilst being chased down by a creature. My main critique with the game is the difficulty. With lack of navigation tools like a map, I would find myself walking the same path or having trouble getting away from the creature. Pros: - Decent atmosphere - Simple game concept - Challenging Things I would like to see/improved in the future: - A map to help with navigation and for finding all the pills - Difficulty selection - Brighter flashlight - Toned down visual effects in phase 2 and 3 - Remove stopping after consuming all sprint Overall, the game is not bad and has good potential but could be improved upon.
