THE LURKING HORROR

Genre: horror
Difficulty: ^^^&&
[description]
Ever since you arrived at G.U.E. Tech, you've heard stories about the
creepy old campus basements and storage rooms, some so ancient that they
contain only rotting piles of unidentifiable junk. Until now, you have
never ventured lower than the ground floors of the monolithic classroom and
dorm buildings, avoiding the warren of tunnels that connect them.
But tonight, something draws you down into the mysterious depths of the
institute. Perhaps it's the blizzard raging outside, making the outdoors as
threatening as anything you could imagine within. Perhaps it's the
nightmare you had, hinting at horrific mysteries below and leaving you with
a strange object that seems to lead you inexorably downward. Or perhaps
it's just another way for you to avoid writing that twenty page term paper
you have due tomorrow.
In any event, you soon find yourself wandering away from your computer and
into the dark nether regions of G.U.E. Tech. Suddenly, you're in a world
that rivals your most hideous visions, a realm of horror lurking beneath
the calm corridors and study halls.
Shapes emerge from dark corners. Eerie sounds draw closer. Slimy
passageways lead to sights so horrifying that they will feed you nightmares
for weeks.
THE LURKING HORROR recalls the ghastly visions of H.P. Lovecraft and
Stephen King, as author Dave Lebling turns an everyday world into a
frightening web of uncertainty. The numerous puzzles will challenge both
first-time and experienced players, and Lebling's chilling descriptions
will leave you with images you'll never forget.
NOTE: this game is patched to remove the in-game copy protection. When you
