Control
Master your gameplay with intuitive controls: navigate environments using directional keys or thumbstick movement, execute primary actions like jumping or attacking with the [X/A] button, and activate secondary abilities using [Y/B]. Toggle between combat stances or inventory slots via shoulder triggers, while right-trigger holds engage aim-down-sights for precision. Tap [Start/Options] to pause or access menus, hold [Select/Share] to view interactive maps or quest logs. Context-sensitive prompts appear dynamically—press [E/(△)] to interact with objects or NPCs. Sprint by double-tapping forward, crouch/slide with [O/B], and cycle equipment via the d-pad. Radial menus for quick items or spells activate by holding [L1/LB], with haptic feedback confirming selections. Adjust camera sensitivity in settings, and remap inputs for personalized playstyles.
Description
Deep in the Lab plunges players into a claustrophobic 2D survival horror experience channeling the raw tension of ‘90s classics. Pre-rendered backgrounds resurrect the era’s gritty aesthetic—static camera angles framing a labyrinthine research facility rotting across five subterranean floors. Solve cryptic puzzles wired into the lab’s decaying infrastructure. Scrounge screws, keycards, and chemical reagents to bypass airlocks and reactivate defunct systems. Resources bleed scarcity: ration batteries for your flickering flashlight, debate wasting bullets on skittering horrors, or risk sprinting past their jagged limbs. Save stations hide in shadowed corners—limited uses force gut-wrenching choices between progress and preservation. Unscripted dread thrives here: distant screams echo through ventilation shafts, fluorescent lights snap to darkness, unseen claws screech across metal. Full-motion video logs from the lab’s doomed staff expose fragments of truth between bursts of static—their faces dissolving mid-sentence. Survive floor by floor, but ascend cautiously: what awaits in the final sector isn’t just a monster. It’s the reason the lab went silent. And it’s been waiting for you.
