Mixing Doom, Resident Evil, and Mirror’s Edge, this is the year’s scariest game

Lorn’s Lure, a first-person indie platformer released this year from Rubeki Games, is downright terrifying. The terror isn’t in its science fiction plot, which follows an android who leaves the safety of his home colony to chase down a mysterious floating light, taking him deep into the astonishing depths of an unknown superstructure. Over the course of eight levels the android makes his way through cavernous spaces, down city-sized canals, into dark caves and among the ruins of ancient, long-dead civilizations. The impressive topography and impossible scale of Lorn’s Lure inspires awe. It is in traversing these spaces, in carefully flinging your intrepid artificial body across its antagonistic architecture, that you will feel the terror.
