About the Game

WARNING: This video game may trigger seizures for some audience with photosensitive epilepsy. Player discretion is advised.



The Lab Thing is a first-person survival horror game.

Explore a mysterious secret lab as the only body survived. Gather all the scientist's notes about the monster, upgrade backpack items, record information and try to escape before you join the body collection of the lab thing!

Environment

the game is set in a secret underground lab that is haunted by a monster that likes to collect human bodies. You will explore an atmospheric underground abandoned lab, wander through tight corridors, check out every dead room, and get lost in the endless presence of afterlife.

Storyline

This lab is cursed with its past. The secret project that turned against its creators. The symbol of human failure walks right behind you and not only protects his murderous victory but listens to potentials for future. As a player, you will relive parts of this dark past, find the memory of its nature and explore the need to survive.

Gameplay

in this game you are a normal defenseless human being; no weapons could save you from the monster finding you from the next corner, behind the door, hidden in the closet or inside a body bag. You’ll be able to pick up key elements, interact with the environment, and search for door keys that may help you escape this nightmare reservoir of human failure.
