changed・The continuation of the demo Episode: "THE GUILTY," and the main game "Lurk in the dark," is planned for release in 2023. ・Tier level reward for "Special pack" and higher tier includes early access to Episode: "THE GUILTY" when the development is completed. ・Marcus' past and lost memories will be revealed in the continuation of Episode: "THE GUILTY." ・Combat encounters with the creepy creatures. ・Shady characters with the past and "history." ・Guns and weapon modification system-customize and build your ultimate weapon! ・You will find out what this nightmare is all about in the main game, "Lurk in the dark." ・Plenty of horrifying, chilling moments and creepy but intriguing stories that will make your skin crawl.

addedWe're crowdfunding for further development of "Lurk in the Dark," which will be the continuation of the demo episode "The Guilty," and the main game where Jack is the main character. We need funds to recruit and build a stronger dev team and provide necessary tools and gears for the dev team. Now, we're not just trying to stretch the playtime here, of course. We want to add complexity to this game. Like that strange feeling, similar to fear when you come in contact with a stranger, like the fear of encountering the "unknown." And the fear laced with curiosity that pushes you out of your comfort zone while eerie, harsh music strips your mind. These are the things we want players to experience when they play "Lurk in the Dark".

changedOur main focus is performance, quality, and accessibility, so it can be enjoyed to its fullest. But we can't definitely do it without you. We are raising funds to finance the development of this game.

changedWe're devoting all our time, effort, and energy in creating this piece from scratch and made it this far because we believe so much in what we've created and determined to bring this "nightmare" to all of you horror game fans out there! We released the demo amid development because we want to hear what you think of it. Your voice will be heard, and you can make a difference. And thanks to those who gave feedback, we're able to address the problems and learn from the mistakes. I want you to know we're in this for the long haul, and we're putting our life on the line!

-------- Message from the creator --------

Hey everyone! I'm Yusuke Hamazaki, the creator of "Lurk in the dark: Prologue." The story, character models, level design, as well as the girl who crawls really fast, are all my creation. You can say I'm a madman, lol! I hope you enjoyed the demo and thanks for playing! It still needs a lot of work, and your feedback is highly appreciated! Our dream is to turn this "nightmare" into a reality.

Will you help us make our "nightmare" come true?

All that being said, don't you want to see what kind of nightmare a madman and his dev team can create??? Because we can NOT wait for you to play this work of art! When you beat the game and watch the final scene, you'll fear not the dark, but what may lurk within it.

Another way you can help us is if you could share this campaign with all your horror game fan family and friends out there on social media! I thank you all again so very much for your continuing love and support! Wish us luck!

And really thank Rie Nogawa for translating this sentence!!!
