About
Lurk is a single player action adventure game. It was developed by Arman Karshenas and was released on March 8, 2018. It received very positive reviews from players.
Lurk is a first-person survival horror game based in medieval fantasy. Experience true fear as you run or hide from encounters with horrific monstrosities, ration supplies found in the expansive Farlands, and uncover the mystery behind the slaughter of your mercenary company.
- The game builds a cohesive medieval-like horror world where everything fits together like puzzle pieces, creating a strong atmosphere.
- Monsters and sound design are well-crafted, providing an immersive and otherworldly hunting experience.
- The gameplay mechanics are smooth and interesting, with voice acting and lore notes enhancing the story and exploration.
- Some key puzzle elements blend too well into the environment, making them difficult to find and reducing immersion.
- The compass is buggy and unclear, causing frustration especially during navigation and backtracking.
- Certain enemy encounters become repetitive and sometimes almost impossible to avoid, and one monster’s voice acting disrupts immersion.

The story is set in a medieval-like world and cleverly weaves together puzzle-like elements that enhance the narrative, a rarity for small horror games. While not the game's main focus, the story is engaging and shows notable developer effort, though some bugs and unclear directions can hinder progression. Overall, it offers a compelling experience, especially given its low price.
“Setting itself in a medieval-like setting and overall builds up the story in a way where everything fits together like puzzle pieces, something a lot of small horror games generally struggle to do.”
“Once solved, you obtain a story component that is essential for the final pedestal.”
“Horror isn't normally my genre, but this game was punchy enough with its story and gameplay that I couldn't help but want to finish it after picking it up.”
“I would still recommend this game as it is a mere 5 dollars and I appreciate the effort the developers went to creating a story and things that connect even if some things fall flat on its face.”
“From what I remember, there was a mission where I had to go visit a lake or something, and my compass guided me to a giant rock wall where a lever slot was supposed to be.”
“There's obvious issues that need to be resolved that haven't yet, like the compass directions being unclear, buggy, etc. If you think you can get farther than me, and I was only missing that one mission because of that bug, then shoot, you can give the game a shot.”
