About Jack Hayes: The Lazarus Sign
There is a lot that Jack Hayes has to deal with. His past is like a ghost, following him everywhere he goes - even in his dreams. His agency is kept together by hope, tape and the hard work of his reliable partner, Gabriela 'Gab' Carter. Then, both private investigators seem to get the solution to their struggle presented on a silver platter, as a former friend of Gab hires them to investigate an ongoing series of crimes against an influential and ruthless industrial tycoon. But as Jack and Gabriela arrive on the island of Thirza, they slowly realize how far away they really are from the civilization they know.

In a world where the fate of everyday people is decided by rich men behind closed doors, in a world without a place to settle in safety - how far could humanism and fairness ever get you here? Jack Hayes has no idea of the dangerous secrets he would stumble upon as he starts his investigation on the island of Thirza, a place, pretty much in private possession of Rudolph Fortis, billionaire, most important employer, seemingly a patron saint of the society he lives in. But Jack, haunted by nightmares of his past, soon discovers the truth that lurked in the shadows. Things spirale out of control fast ...
Not every enemy points a gun at you. Some will smile instead.
Dialogue is important in The Lazarus Sign! You have to manage your relationships to people around you. Act too harsh and you won't get their support, be too nice and you get played. But even here, Jack might find a bit of solace, spending some special time with a special someone ... if he can win her over.

To understand what's going on ...
A complex and mature story awaits you. See through the net of lies, conspiracies and unimaginable dark secrets around you to solve the case - and make sure everyone survives!
Emotional impact and atmosphere:
The beautiful artwork and the superb soundtrack add to the emotional storytelling and bring characters and environment to life!

it's a very interesting game in which you influence the storyline through your conversations. sometimes it is not that easy to correctly assess the characters in the game and to choose the sentences which leads to the desired outcome. In the game itself there are unpredictable twists and turns and you get an interesting insight into the thoughts of the characters (especially the protagonist and his past) which I really enjoyed. In my opinion, people talk a little too much, which means that you spend a lot of time reading. Overall, it took me about 3-4 hours to play through, so this game is a nice fast paced game for your spare time.2 found this helpful
RPG Maker strikes again! Jack Hayes: The Lazarus Sign is one of hundreds of low effort retro-pixel RPG Maker asset/construction kit flips spamming the Steam catalog, made with the RPG Maker video game construction kit... in their own words, "Our easy to use tools are simple enough for a child." Like all RPG Maker "games", this is essentially a bunch of low quality/canned assets from RPG Maker coupled with a cringeworthy high school anime club fan fiction. The "developer" of this tragic kitbash couldn't even work out how to make a JRPG with RPG Maker (the only thing it can do, and it's not even very good at that). Instead it's a 2D retro pixel noir adventure game, mostly an e-book with high school anime club dropout fanfiction writing, the kind of stuff that would get them shoved into their locker when the jocks read it... and you can't do "noir" with crap graphics, as the tremendious failure of this RPG Maker asset flip shows. As with all RPG Maker games, the poor quality engine displays badly in fullscreen and doesn't have full HD support or any graphics tweaking options, making this unacceptable for any dedicated modern PC gamer. The point can be made that the intention of…1 found this helpful

Игра 'Jack Hayes: The Lazarus Sign' — это захватывающее приключение, которое с головой окунает игрока в мир тайн и интриг. С первых минут погружаешься в атмосферу загадочного города, где каждый уголок хранит свою историю. Джек Хейс, главный герой, — харизматичный персонаж, чья решимость и острый ум помогают ему распутывать самые сложные головоломки. Визуальная составляющая игры на высоте: детализированные локации, проработанные модели персонажей и атмосферное освещение создают неповторимый стиль. Музыкальное сопровождение идеально дополняет происходящее, усиливая напряжение в ключевых моментах и создавая меланхоличное настроение в более спокойные отрезки. Геймплей представляет собой смесь исследования, поиска улик и решения головоломок, которые порой заставляют изрядно попотеть. Сюжет развивается динамично, подкидывая неожиданные повороты и заставляя постоянно строить догадки о том, что же будет дальше. 'The Lazarus Sign' — это не просто игра, а настоящее погружение в историю, которая надолго остается в памяти.
