THE LURKING HORROR
(c) Infocom, Inc. 1987

Background
----------
Ever since you arrived at G.U.E. Tech, you've heard stories about the creepy old
campus basements and storage rooms, some so ancient that they contain only
rotting piles of unidentifiable junk. Until now, you have never ventured lower
than the ground floors of the monolithic classroom and dorm buildings, avoiding
the warren of tunnels that connect them.

But tonight, something draws you down into the mysterious depths of the
institute. Perhaps it's the blizzard raging outside, making the outdoors as
threatening as anything you could imagine within. Perhaps it's the nightmare you
had, hinting at horrific mysteries below and leaving you with a strange object
that seems to lead you inexorably downward. Or perhaps it's just another way for
you to avoid writing that twenty-page term paper you have due tomorrow.

In any event, you soon find yourself wandering away from your computer and into
the dark nether regions of G.U.E. Tech. Suddenly, you're in a world that rivals
your most hideous visions, a realm of horror lurking beneath the calm corridors
and study halls.

Shapes emerge from dark corners. Eerie sounds draw closer. Slimy passageways
lead to sights so horrifying that they will feed you nightmares for weeks.

The Lurking Horror recalls the ghastly visions of H.P. Lovecraft and Stephen
King, as author Dave Lebling turns an everyday world into a frightening web of
uncertainty. The numerous puzzles will challenge both first-time and
experienced players, and Lebling's chilling descriptions will leave you with
images you'll never forget.
