What the event brought
New challenges
Lurking Giants introduced high-alert gameplay scenarios that put players on edge during their runs through Ethan’s house. The event coincided with Specter Development actively expanding the horror meta through both the Stalker update (new entity with 3,500+ lines of script) and community-facing prizes.
Exclusive prizes
Event-exclusive rewards encouraged players to return and attempt multiple runs. These prizes tied into the three-day countdown structure and the existing badge system — giving completionists additional motivation beyond the standard eight badges.
Redeemable codes
A fresh batch of codes shipped with the event. Check the codes page for current availability — code status changes frequently and active codes may expire or be replaced after this event window.
Relationship to the Stalker update
The Lurking Giants event and Stalker update both shipped in July 2026, creating a significant content wave:
| Content | Type | Key feature |
|---|---|---|
| Lurking Giants | Community event | Challenges, prizes, codes |
| Stalker update | Game patch | New entity, 3,500+ script lines, adaptive horror |
Both drops arrived as Verity [HORROR] maintained approximately 14,000–15,000 concurrent players and the game held the VERSÃO ANTIGA listing status on Rolimon’s by early August 2026.
Player impact
For returning players
If you already earned the You escaped badge and completed the main story, the Lurking Giants event gave you a reason to run Ethan’s house again — with new risk profiles introduced by the Stalker entity and event-specific modifiers.
For new players
New players entering during the July 2026 event window encountered:
- An active community running Night 0–Day 3 continuously
- Event-stacked challenges that increased replay value
- Fresh codes to start with minor in-game perks
Community response
The ~79% rating on the smaller STEAK NIGHTMARE [HORROR] title (compared to Verity’s ~44%) suggested the audience appreciated focused horror design. The Lurking Giants event applied similar principles to Verity [HORROR] — concentrated sessions, clear goals, time-limited rewards.

- Listing as VERSÃO ANTIGA on Rolimon’s
