About the Game

Lab1995 is a first-person psychological horror game set inside an abandoned government research facility sealed after a catastrophic incident in 1995.

You wake up trapped somewhere deep underground with no idea how you got there. The lights barely work. The hallways feel dead. Old machines randomly start turning back on around you.

Then a voice comes through the speakers.

Your father’s voice.

The same father who disappeared inside this lab years ago.

An AI system called HELIX claims it’s trying to help you escape. It guides you through locked sectors, talks to you through radios and intercoms, and slowly starts revealing what really happened inside the facility.

But the deeper you go, the more wrong everything feels.

There’s no action-hero combat here.
No overpowered weapons.
Just exploration, environmental puzzles, hiding, survival, and the constant feeling that the lab itself is watching you.


FEATURES

  • Explore a decaying 1990s research facility
    Search abandoned labs, dormitories, medical wings, maintenance tunnels, and underground experiment sectors filled with old CRT monitors, cassette tapes, and broken research equipment.\

  • Survive without combat
    Hide in lockers, crawl through vents, avoid making noise, and survive encounters with failed experiments roaming the facility.

  • An AI that constantly manipulates you
    HELIX controls the lab around you — lights, doors, alarms, cameras, speakers. Sometimes it helps you. Sometimes it lies.

  • Psychological horror focused on tension and atmosphere
    Hallucinations, distorted memories, shifting environments, and strange audio phenomena slowly blur the line between reality and manipulation.

  • Environmental and logic-based puzzles
    Restore power systems, uncover hidden access routes, decode research logs, and piece together what really happened inside the lab.

  • A story about trust, memory, and control
    The deeper you go, the more you begin questioning whether the voice guiding you is really your father at all.

HELIX is waiting.
