What is Lunch Lady?

This survival horror game lets you play solo or online with up to four players, searching a dark school for answers to upcoming exams. In each match, you collect ten pages, find keys to unlock doors, and evade the lunch lady; teammates can heal each other with medkits. Item locations change between games across multiple maps, and the pursuer grows faster and stronger.

For you if...

  • +you like chaotic group chases and jump scares
  • +you enjoy replaying maps with changing item locations

Not for you if...

  • −you need varied objectives beyond collecting scattered pages
  • −you prefer exploring without an escalating chase
