About The Fall of Lazarus
You are a crew member of the USSC Lazarus waking up from cryo sleep without memories and even without name in an apparently abandoned drifting cargo spaceship. But you’re not alone, there is also Hybris, the Artificial intelligence who commands the ship. Who are you? What are you doing there? What is the Black Cube?
The Truth Is Darker Than Space.
The game takes place aboard the USSC Lazarus (Unified Space Ship Companies), a ship that belongs to KR Corporation (Kross-Rübel), a company dedicated to the interstellar transport of goods and with close ties to the mining industry. The player takes on the role of the protagonist, a veteran of the Venusian wars looking to carve out a new future for herself. She has enlisted to participate in an nine-year mission to work on a mining colony. When she wakes up from hypersleep she finds herself alone on the ship and with no memories.
The player must then explore, investigate and find a way to get off the ship before the situation gets worse. Along the way, the protagonist will experience a series of traumatic events related to his personal life: visions, dreamlike recollections, strange noises and apparitions that mess with his head and make her question what is real and what is not.
We have a script with a main plot and a linear emotive journey waiting for you, but this is just the beginning. If you go deep and investigate you'll see there ir more beneath the surface. Once you've played the first scenes of the game you'll be able of wandering the full ship, searching and exploring every single detail.
The mystery of what is happening is the basis of the Lazarus gameplay, although the player is the one who gathers all the clues and details scattered throughout the ship to reach the conclusion.
· INMERSIVE STORYTELLING FULL OF MYSTERIES to unveil in a science fiction set up with a multi-level funcional script.
· UNCOMPRESSED NARRATIVE where there is more than meets the eye and every detail is there for a reason.
· A bunch of DIVERSE PUZZLES to solve. Logical and mechanical puzzles and social hacking.
· Powered by UNREAL ENGINE 4

A strange game that is worth experiencing once. It has some good puzzles and the space station is good for exploration even though it's not the prettiest Unreal Engine game I've ever seen. There's some regret while playing this, in the knowledge that the game has had a very small audience and unfortunately it didn't work out for the studio. Regrettably I didn't really follow the plot, I got confused in many areas. Nonetheless, there's a hint at what might have been if the game has got out to more people and the developers then could have built on this and done something different or bigger. As it is, The Fall of Lazarus is now free but still I would never have heard of it if I hadn't stumbled across it in the Steam Labs. So you're left with essentially a historical artifact that few people have heard of. Like me, you may not be able to rebind the keys to a layout you like, but give it a try anyway, especially if you like space or sci-fi games, and try to ignore what is often quite cringey dialogue.1 found this helpful
I agree with another review here in that the puzzles really weren't that great. I did like the number pad puzzle, but the description (muscle memory) was just plain wrong. Once I realized that and what it REALLY was, it's kind of a cool puzzle. Anyway, I played for a bit longer, and then got stuck on the stairs in the lighthouse TWICE. So I just gave up.1 found this helpful
It looks like most negative reviews are from the initial release period in 2017-2018. Since then, it looks like the tiny team of 3 developers fixed the major bugs, and when the company finally went bankrupt a few years later, they made the bold decision to make it free for everyone. Short of a few spelling/grammar issues, I didn't encounter any issues. It's worth a look.
Игра «The Fall of Lazarus» — атмосферный приключенческий проект с мрачной фэнтезийной вселенной. Визуальная составляющая впечатляет: детализированные локации, динамичные анимации и тёмная палитра создают настроение. Сюжет развивается через визуальные повествования и разговоры с NPC, что требует внимательности. Геймплей сочетает элементы головоломок и исследований, но может казаться медленным для некоторых. Звуковое сопровождение — отдельный плюс: атмосферная музыка и звуки природы усиливают погружение. Минус — слабая оптимизация и технические сбои. Для любителей медленных, но глубоких историй — рекомендуется.

Every time I launch the game, it crashes after a minute or so. Not worth trying to play.
