Forgotten Labs - The First Sights

Forgotten Labs - The First Sights drops players into a tense, atmospheric adventure inside the derelict main building of The Deep Global Research Labs. You play as Saerom, hunting abandoned experiments for profit and quickly discovering that remnants of the facility still roam the halls. The experience mixes exploration, light combat and narrative moments as you investigate rooms, trigger dialog and face unpredictable creatures created during the lab's operational period. Players who enjoy suspense-driven indie games and straightforward controller or keyboard play will find this jam-born demo worth trying.
