LURKS WITHIN WALLS is a modernized and horror-based take on the classic dungeon crawling RPG genre set in a quarantined building filled with monsters created by Trevor Henderson.
Currently in development by Here Be Monsters and featuring creatures illustrated by Trevor Henderson (creator of Siren Head, Long Horse, Bridge Worm, etc.), LURKS WITHIN WALLS looks set to deliver a terrifying take on the traditional Eye of the Beholder style dungeon crawler. It draws inspiration from Resident Evil, Parasite Eve and Shin Megami Tensei, and sees you attempting to escape from a quarantined building filled with infected residents and anomalies.
The movement is much like a traditional dungeon crawler (use WASD to walk and turn) and as you explore you find useful items (keys, medikits, etc.) and weapons that you can use in combat. The combat is turn-based and allows you to choose weapons and which limbs to attack, the limbs all having different hit chances and possible effects if you hit them.
It would be nice to have a little more tactical depth to the combat (which may come into play later in the game anyway), but it’s a very promising game with a great premise and tons of atmosphere. Trevor Henderson’s horrifying creations are obviously excellent and the lore is very intriguing. Highly recommended.
