Trevor Henderson is already known for his creepypasta characters (e.g. Siren Head, Cartoon Cat…), but now a complete game is being built around his work; it is being developed by Here Be Monsters and will be published by 2 Wedges.

A building under quarantine. Inhabitants isolated. Those who failed to isolate themselves now stagger through the corridors, contaminated. But it’s not just the infected residents – the darkness hides other anomalies. It is as if the building itself is alive. Lurks Within Walls is a tense survival horror game that combines the exploration elements of modern dungeon RPGs with fast-paced turn-based combat. Explore a series of cursed environments filled with terrifying creatures illustrated by renowned artist Trevor Henderson.

Experience a unique blend of survival horror and dungeon crawling RPG elements where every decision could be your last. Engage in intense, tactical combat against an array of nightmarish creatures. Gather weapons and items and face threats that require strategy and resource management. Explore cursed buildings and haunted environments, encountering terrifying creatures brought to life in the distinctive style of Trevor Henderson, known for his iconic horror art such as Siren Head, Long Horse, Bridge Worm, and many others.

Choose to play as a surviving resident, armed with pipes and makeshift weapons, or as a police officer striving to eliminate threats and save the remaining survivors. Will you try to escape or search for your lost loved ones? Revive the atmosphere of legendary titles such as Resident Evil, Parasite Eve, and Shin Megami Tensei by combining exploration with strategic combat and storytelling.

Lurks Within Walls is currently only announced for PC (Steam) and there is no word on when it will be released. There is no word on console versions, so either they will be delayed, or there may be no plans to bring the otherwise bizarre (in a good way!) game to the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series.
