The Lurking Horror

From 1987’s text adventure golden age, The Lurking Horror proves you don’t need graphics to be terrified. You’re a student trapped on a snowy university campus during a blizzard, discovering ancient evils lurking beneath the halls of academia. It’s Lovecraft meets finals week — dark corridors, mysterious cults, and horrors that defy description (mostly because you have to type them in). It’s chilling, clever, and proof that imagination can be scarier than any jump scare.
