Gameplay

In this '90s VHS-inspired horror survival game, players must survive a nightmarish sleep experiment and find a way to break free from the lab. Each night, they must solve puzzles, perform rituals, and complete tasks to wake up from the nightmare. Players must scavenge VHS-style items—such as cassettes and floppy disks—to trade for keys, unlocking restricted areas that contain essential components for progression. Failing to wake up results in death, but players can try again to uncover the truth. Team up with up to 4 friends or go solo to face the ever-growing terror.

The Lab

In a covert sleep experiment, a secretive organization traps people to study the boundaries of the human mind. Volunteers, unknowingly subjected to nightly experiments, are forced to face their worst nightmares as they struggle to escape a distorted, dream-like world. With each failed attempt to wake up, their fears become more tangible—nightmarish creatures and horrors take on physical form, growing stronger the longer they remain trapped. As the experiments progress, survival becomes a race against time: can they escape the nightmares before the lab’s twisted reality consumes them forever?

Key Features

  • Single Player Mode

    Experience the horrors alone, where item spawns are procedurally generated, while nightmare and challenges remain handcrafted to test your survival.

  • Co-Op Mode

    Team up with up to 4 friends to survive the nightmare together and escape the sleep experiment.

  • Unpredictable AI
