The Lurking Horror for the Commodore 64 is a deliciously atmospheric slice of interactive fiction horror that traps you in a snowbound campus as strange noises, power failures, and mounting dread point to something ancient and wrong beneath the building, blending Infocom’s sharp writing with tense exploration and clever puzzles, and delivering a slow, claustrophobic escalation that feels like a love letter to Lovecraftian fear filtered through 80s computing culture.
