Inside the Labs

Inside the Labs is an online co-op survival horror game for 1–4 players. You play as teenagers exploring abandoned laboratories that have been in the news for failed human experiments. Your tasks include finding evidence to uncover the truth behind rumors about the labs and doing chores to reduce the harm and malevolence within them. You can tackle objectives alone or with friends.

The laboratories

Rumors point to a powerful malevolent presence born from a failed human experiment involving a former patient. The labs may contain various mutations, which you must identify and survive. The game features multiple maps, with randomized mutations, item spawns and triggers.

Prepare for an expedition

Before exploring, you choose items and perks for your loadout. You collect useful items inside the labs and decide how to use them. Cash found there can be spent on items to customize your characters’ appearance. Progress unlocks more items, perks, maps and characters.

Co-op and communication

You can explore online with up to three other players. Each explorer has a walkie-talkie for proximity voice chat, but speaking too loudly can attract unwanted attention.

Difficulty and atmosphere

Choose easy, normal or hard difficulty. Eerie 3D audio attenuation and distortion contribute to the labs’ dark atmosphere. The AI considers the lab its home and knows it better than you do; it can see you and may hear you.

Characters and story

Each character has a backstory that reveals their motivations, fears and secrets.
