Fatal Baboons
VertexLabs' monster-survival escape game - you're trapped in an abandoned lab where every creature hunts differently. Scavenge scrap, sell it for gear, and don't get caught.
The New Lab update is live November 7-11: a fresh lab layout, additional monsters, three new jumpscares, and a reworked fightback system that finally lets you defend yourself. No codes exist in the game - gear comes from selling scrap.
Surviving the lab
Every monster hunts by a different rule - learning which rule you're facing is the whole game.
Noise hunters
Some creatures react to every step - crouch-walking and timing your moves past them beats sprinting.
Gaze hunters
Others only move when you're not watching - keep them in view while you back away, and never turn your camera on a whim.
Light drainers
A third type dims the lights around them - when the dark closes in, you already know what's coming.
Fightback
The New Lab update added a way to defend yourself - expensive, but the first real answer to a bad run-in.
Scrap > gear
- 1Fill your carry limit
Scrap sits around the lab and each baboon holds a limited amount - a full bag means a shop run is due.
- 2Sell at the shop
Scrap converts to coins; coins buy gear that raises your survival odds next round.
- 3Squad up
More eyes means the gaze-type monsters get pinned more often - teaming up is the safest way to learn the map.
