13AM Games is developing Dungeon Lurker, a horror action roguelike for PC, and released a playable demo on Steam on August 4, 2026. The game's release date is not yet set, and Japanese language support is not planned.
13AM Games announced Dungeon Lurker in June 2026 as a horror action roguelike for PC. The game is set in a cursed dungeon where a knight searches for a missing brother, with immortality promised at the deepest level. It features over 30 stages, retro 32-bit visuals, and enemies such as ghouls, goblins, and werewolves. Combat blends a modern action feel with sword launches, shield guards, dodges, spells, and passive skills.
The narrative frames the game as an item left behind by a deceased friend. The protagonist checks the friend's belongings after receiving a voicemail from the friend's mother. This conceit extends to the demo, which includes a gimmick where players can pause and read a manual with handwritten notes, reinforcing the game-within-a-game presentation.
On August 4, 2026, 13AM Games released a demo on Steam alongside a new trailer. The demo includes the manual-reading feature. The game is scheduled for release on PC via Steam, but no release date has been announced. Japanese language support is not planned.
