About the Game



Play as Doctor Elizabeth "Liz" Landrake, a genetic scientist in an alternate Victorian era laboratory. As time has passed, your workplace respite has become desolate, abandoned, and filled with deadly chimaeras who have turned against their creators.

Traverse through your laboratory, armed only with your quick reactions and a kerosene lantern, to collect a series of key cards in the attempt to escape this laboratory in lockdown. Along the way, collect notes, remnants of a time before this laboratory got shut down, to provide
insight as to who was here alongside Liz.

Light is the only thing that seems to keep the monsters at bay, so keep your lantern filled, and try to only use the light when it is absolutely necessary.



  • The Light is Your Friend - Make your way through an abandoned laboratory, finding the rooms filled with light that keeps the apparent occupants at bay.
  • It Has Your Scent - Monsters that lurk in the dark who know where you are even better than you do.
  • The Sounds of a Dangerous Waltz - Hand-crafted compositions and audio to immerse the player in the mind of Doctor Elizebeth Landrake.
