It Lurks

It Lurks leaves you alone in a house while animals altered by a strange virus prowl outside. Your goal is to survive eight nights, each lasting from 10:00 PM to 7:00 AM. The closer something gets, the more carefully you need to manage the light.

Look Outside, Then Go Dark

Check the windows regularly and use the flashlight to see what is nearby. If a creature approaches, turn off the house lights so it cannot see you. The space under your bed needs checking too; danger may already be inside. A steady routine helps in It Lurks. Scan outside, check beneath the bed, and respond to what you find before waiting for the next change.

Eight Nights Until Morning

Reaching 7:00 AM ends the current night. Survive all eight to complete the game, but expect the infected creatures to grow stronger as you progress. The setting keeps the threat close to home. Windows, dark corners, and the area beneath your bed matter more than exploring a large map.

How to Play on Desktop and Mobile

On Desktop, press Shift to check a window and Z to use the flashlight. Press X to turn off the lights when something is nearby. Spacebar moves you under the bed or returns you to bed, while mouse clicks interact with visible buttons and objects. On Mobile, tap the visual buttons to perform those actions. Keep the controls in mind before night falls: spotting a creature only helps if you can react quickly.

Stay Watchful Until Dawn

It Lurks suits players who enjoy tense observation and deciding when to reveal or conceal themselves. Watch the windows, check under the bed, and survive the first night until 7:00 AM.
