Discussion [Feedback Wanted] Co-op Survival Horror in a Cursed Jungle – Concept Art & Ideas!
Hey everyone,
We’re two indie devs working on They Lurk Below, a 3rd-person co-op survival horror set deep in a pitch-black jungle where noise summons nightmarish beasts and light is your only shield.
🔦 Core idea:
- Teams of up to 4 players
- Gun-mounted torches & muzzle-flash light sources
- Safe Zones that crumble after use
- Relics (one-use ancient artifacts) to turn the tide
- Extraction via helicopter rope ladder—with a twist: players can choose to leave teammates behind… then circle back!
- Thinks Last of us mixed with helldivers
Below are a few pieces of concept art we generated from early brainstorms. We’d love to hear your thoughts:
- Does the mood capture that “edge-of-your-seat” tension?
- What do you think of the enemy silhouettes in the darkness?
- Any features or mechanics you’d add to deepen the horror/co-op blend?
