What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Our goal with Early Access is to enter the second stage of development by collecting feedback directly from players. This feedback will help refine gameplay, guide additional features, and shape the game’s final direction. We’re committed to an ongoing process of improving the game with community input to deliver a product that meets player expectations.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We expect Early Access to last between 6 months and 1 year, depending on the level of community engagement and the depth of features players help shape. Our goal is to reach a polished state by the end of this period, but this timeline is flexible based on development needs and feedback.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“We intent the final version to contain several more systems related to player health and wellness. We plan to add several different, more dynamic systems and several more levels, each with different themes. We also plan to implement new ideas based on feedback during the early access phase.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Please refer to the "About This" section for the most up-to-date status of everything you can expect from the current version. As we update and change features, this section will be updated to reflect it.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“We do not have any plans to increase the price after release.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We’ll maintain forums and a Discord server as primary channels for player feedback. These will serve as spaces for players to share their ideas, and all suggestions will be reviewed carefully. We plan to implement any feasible changes that align with the game’s vision, allowing the community to help shape the final product.”

About This Game

What Lurks Inside is a tense, semi-cooperative role-playing survival game about exploring, destroying, and escaping a mysterious scientific facility… or about disguising yourself to sabotage and undermine the foolish humans who have wandered into your lair. Where to go? What to gather? Who to trust? Use your cunning and judgement to make sure that you make it out alive…

Features:

  • Play either multiplayer or singleplayer, with AI-controlled teammates and enemies.

  • Ever-shifting corridors and rooms to explore and exploit, different on every playthrough.

  • Powerful environmental features to turn against your enemies.

  • Makeshift weapons and teamwork for human players.

  • Fast-travel and traps for the monster. Set up a plan several rooms in advance, or lay in wait to spring an ambush.

  • Wide variety of objectives to achieve or undermine, from destroying research to killing other monsters, roaming about the facility, and setting the laboratory’s self-destruct sequence. The more you accomplish the greater your chances of victory!

TRY TO ESCAPE THE LAB - BUT WATCH YOUR BACK…

Four bodies in environmental suits descend into the facility… but only three of them are human. Which of your teammates is the monster? Cooperate with the other humans (hopefully) to complete objectives and escape through the emergency exit. Destroy research, and then the facility itself to ensure that these nightmarish mistakes are never repeated!

SABOTAGE, TRANSFORM AND KILL!

The humans have no idea what you’ve got planned for them. As the monster, use special Bio-Growths to fast-travel around the facility, setting up traps and plotting vicious ambushes. Pick off your companions one by one, or all at once in a grand master-scheme! Sabotage their attempts to destroy research and protect your fellow abominations from their attacks. When the moment is right, shapeshift back into your true, monstrous form, and tear them to ribbons before escaping to the surface to spread chaos and carnage!

Mature Content Description

The developers describe the content like this:

Contains corpses, some partially nude with blood and other bodily fluids. PVP actions include lying, attacking, and voice interactions—lots of blood in general and experiments gone wrong.
