SHORT DESCRIPTION
WHAT LURKS BELOW is multiplayer hide-and-seek horror with procedurally generated arenas and proximity voice chat. Play as a runner or a monster: TAG swaps your roles when you are caught, while HUNT turns caught runners into more hunters. Free Steam playtest signups are open.

HUNTING GROUNDS
Farmhouse
Creaking floors, peeling paint, and a storm that threatens to tear the roof off.

Poolrooms
Steam, slime, water, terror.

Hedgemaze
Green, clean, awfully neat. Did you hear that?

Dungeon
Stone, rust, chains. No way out. And the skulls...

Backrooms
Abandoned. Still lit. Twisting. Looping. Definitely abandoned.

Bio
In the belly of the beast. But not alone.
