Lurking is a first-person horror game set in a building infested by giant spiders. Search for tools and weapons to fight back and survive. Find a way out before you're eaten alive.
You love your pets. You take care of them. It’s the only thing in your life that still makes sense.
But what happens when they grow out of control... and begin lurking in the dark hallways of your apartment building?
Stay low. Stay quiet. Stick to the shadows. You’re trapped, but if you can keep it together, you might still find a way out.
If it bleeds, you can kill it.
But does it bleed?
