|
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.
