Lurking was an incredible game, I had a fun time with it. I would love to see a full length game on this concept! Keep up the awesome work. Included ni this 3 SCARY GAMES video!
Idk why I got so impressed with the little inventory system going on and the sound effects for gaining an item. Also "T" to toggle just felt satisfying.. scare got me but I wish there was more to the game! I was enjoying it!
Really love the art style and those spiders give me goosebumps! I weirdly took a lot of pleasure to feed my 8-legged friends. I imagine that, ONE DAY, I will be the food...:/
Happy New Year! January is a strong discovery month for players seeking short, atmospheric horror experiences, and we would love to feature Lurking in our upcoming spotlight.
What immediately stood out is the unsettling psychological premise of care turning into loss of control. The intimate first person perspective, minimal setup, and creeping sense of unease create a compact horror experience that feels personal and disturbing, especially as familiar routines begin to unravel.
Participation is flexible. Featured games are highlighted to players actively discovering new indie horror titles, and we also support developers with additional visibility among narrative driven horror audiences.
If this sounds like a good fit, feel free to share any updates or ideas you may have for expanding the project.
Fhu, those freakin goosebumps this game gave me all the time with the constant fear of spiders. Wah. Loved it. The end was a bit short. I was really expecting one final big jumpscare. :D
Cats, dogs, butterflies, bugs, spiders, snakes..., the choices are endless. But what happens when an uninvited visitor shows up at your doorstep in a box?
One more spider?
Sure!
Uh-oh...
A very nice game. Very nice story, and unfortunate ending.
I didn’t run into any bugs, hiccups or other snags. Kudos to all involved and thanks for making this awesome game.
Damn, this was quite good, liked the idea of it being pets and the suspense of a random unknown species of pet. Highly recommend this to anyone, fun little horror game. This is my video on it with 3 Scary Games, 7/10 🦖💚
The game has a really different theme, I enjoyed the experience of playing it a lot. I think it's a good foundation to build something more, like a full game. Anyway, excellent experience!
A cool little spider horror game. Taking care of those kinds of pets can be a bot frightening, especially the man eating kind, lol. The spider that was gifted to us must have been enhanced genetically. I enjoyed this a lot. See my playthrough here:

This game was a cool experience and has a interesting story for how short the game is, even though I don't like spiders. 7.5/10.

I really liked how unsettling the environment was. I think the first jumpscare made me so unsure of turning a corner after that. Great work!
Really nice game, I actually felt tension which I don't normally feel from most horror games.
Bruh, my arachnophobia took 2 days from my life on this lmao, great game! (1st game)
This game scared the hell out of me. Great game!
I really enjoyed this game, I have a fear of spiders but this still interested me and was quite creepy.
