Deep In The Lab

About Deep In The Lab

In Deep In The Lab, something has gone horribly wrong. Alien guinea pigs used for experimentation have escaped and unleashed chaos throughout the facility. Blood stains the tiled floors, doors are locked tight, and not a single soul can be found - alive. You are one of the few, maybe the only, survivors.

Your mission is painfully clear: ascend five increasingly dangerous levels of the lab and reach the exit - or die trying. Resources are scarce, enemies are vicious, and the deeper you go, the darker it gets. Survival is a privilege, not a promise.

How to Play

Basic Gameplay

Explore pre-rendered rooms filled with secrets, clues, and sudden horrors.

Collect limited resources like ammo, weapons, healing items, and keys.

Face off against mutated escapees — or avoid them entirely. Combat is optional, but often necessary.

Save cautiously. Save stations are limited and unforgiving.

Puzzle-Solving

Solve intricate puzzles to unlock doors, power machinery, and access hidden paths.

Some puzzles require backtracking with new items, enhancing the game’s sense of tension and discovery.

Inventory System

Press the menu button to access your inventory.

Manage your weapons, ammo, keys, and other crucial items.

Choose wisely - using the wrong weapon at the wrong time could cost you dearly.

Combat or Stealth?

Every encounter offers a choice: stand your ground or slip away unnoticed.

Weapons vary in power and ammo consumption. Some monsters are best avoided.

FMV Cutscenes

Full-motion video (FMV) sequences punctuate key story moments, pulling you deeper into the game's chilling narrative.
