13AM Games is developing Dungeon Lurker, a horror action roguelike for PC via Steam, where it has surpassed 100,000 wishlists and released a playable demo. A full release date has not been set.
13AM Games announced Dungeon Lurker as a horror action roguelike for PC, a project framed around a fictional retro console and a personal loss. The narrative centers on a protagonist sorting through the belongings of a deceased friend after receiving a voicemail from the friend's mother, with the game itself presented as something the friend left behind. As the player progresses, the protagonist's own secrets come to light, making the horror conceit the core of the loop rather than an add-on.
The game plays as a dungeon-crawling action title with more than 30 stages and 32-bit style retro visuals. The player controls a knight searching for a missing brother in a cursed dungeon, where the deepest level promises immortality. Combat blends modern action with retro presentation: sword swings can launch enemies into the air, and players use shield guards, dodges, spells, and passive skills against ghouls, goblins, and werewolves. A manual-reading gimmick lets players pause and read handwritten strategy notes, reinforcing the in-universe fiction.
The demo arrived on Steam on August 4, 2026, with a new trailer, and by late August the game had passed 100,000 Steam wishlists. A release date remains undecided, and Japanese language support is not planned. The wishlist milestone plus the August 25 Pixel Arcadia footage suggest the unsettling framing is a major draw for players.
