The Lurking Horror is a horror story in the tradition of H.P. Lovecraft. There are grotesque monsters with inconceivable purposes lurking around every corner, and you will have to deal with several of them. Although the subject matter is unusual for an Infocom game, the conundrums you will face will feel familiar.
