The Laboratory Journal

Progress reports, strange discoveries, and occasional confessions from the madman behind the laboratory.

Every Experiment Leaves a Story

Welcome to the Laboratory Journal, the official development diary of Evil Lab Studios. This is where we pull back the curtain on the stories, games, music, and peculiar ideas taking shape behind the laboratory doors.

Expect work-in-progress reports, glimpses of Grimmstone, notes from the writing desk, and the occasional experiment that got away. We believe the process deserves a story of its own—even when the process involves too much coffee and a suspicious noise from the basement.

A note from Castor: This journal is a record of the work as it grows. Plans may change. Mysteries may deepen. The monsters will almost certainly misbehave.
