13AM Games has unveiled Dungeon Lurker, a horror action roguelike for PC. The game adopts retro visuals styled after 32-bit console graphics and tasks players with clearing over 30 procedurally varied dungeon floors. Enemies include ghouls, goblins, and werewolves, and exploration can unlock new routes and items. Players return to the surface to upgrade equipment, spells, and charms between runs.
The narrative is presented as a title running on a fictional 32-bit machine called the Eclipse 32. The teaser opens with protagonist Gabriel checking on a deceased friend's belongings after a message from the friend's mother. The console starts on its own, and the game manual's pages flip by themselves. The story promises unsettling secrets tied to Gabriel's past. A release date has not been set, and Japanese language display is not supported.
