About the Game

In Project Lab, you play as an employee working in a secret underground laboratory filled with unusual creatures. Your role is to keep the facility running smoothly by completing daily tasks in a creepy, isolated environment. The game is a survival horror experience with puzzle-solving and resource management, designed to be played in one 30-minute session.

Each day in the game brings a set of tasks. You’ll walk through the lab’s dimly lit halls to clean up messes left by the creatures. Sometimes, a creature escapes its containment room, and you’ll need to track it down and guide it back safely.

The creatures in the lab are unique, each with its own behaviors and traits. For example, some might be startled by loud noises, while others are drawn to light. Learning how to handle each one is key to surviving the day. The game challenges you to think quickly, solve puzzles to access restricted areas, and stay calm under pressure as you face unexpected threats.

Project Lab offers a focused horror experience with a tense atmosphere, created through eerie sound effects and a shadowy lab setting. The game is short, lasting about 30 minutes, making it ideal for players who want a quick but engaging horror adventure. Whether you’re solving puzzles to secure the lab or avoiding a curious creature, every moment tests your ability to stay in control.
