The Fall of Lazarus

Hate to say it but this game was rather disappointing. I like story games but this has several flaws: 1) Poorly written text. The text in the game seems to be badly translated (from Spanish, presumably?) and that really takes me out of the game. I'm on a spaceship to another planet and there's spelling mistakes, nonsensical words, wrong verbs etc on the posters? (e.g. the power levels shown when you come out of cryo are "Inestable" - what is that, exactly? Unstable? Inestimable? Stable? What?). All of the text really needs to be spellchecked by a native english speaker! 2) The puzzles were frustrating and unnecessary. I've noticed that devs seem to think that putting puzzles in a story game is necessary to "give the player something to do" - but it really isn't. Let the player just walk around and piece together the plot (Everybody's Gone to the Rapture, Dear Esther, and Tacoma really got that part right - Fall of Lazarus didn't unfortunately). And especially don't put puzzles that ...

Purchased this game as a sci-fi exploration/puzzle. Found a psycho drama. Narrative, yes. Mindflow narrative with thick layer of psychiatry. I'd classify it as "deeply narrative dark story with a sci-fi exploration teaser part". If you like something like "old abandoned house with specters and smell of old murder", and can handle a house disguised as a spaceship - then maybe this is your game. Mine - definitely not.

This game contains sci-fi and survive contents which is my favourite type. The first person type game usually could be like DOOM or Outlast series.Which are always become horror games after all. I have saw too many Outlast-like games these days so maybe this one could be a little refresh. Recommend to the folks who love sci-fi and got too tired of Outlast-like games. [spoiler] The protagonist is a female crew member of the USS Lazarus and also an ex-military personal who had a history of drugs.From the story we can only know this ship is on a one-way trip mission to deliver the mistery cargo. Destination unknown, maybe as far as possible away from earth.It is a pity the game doesn't tell us what happened to the protagonist after she left.Maybe there will be a second chapter?and why this time the AI wasn't the evil? Too many questions without answers. [spoiler]

I had an ok time with this game. Recommended but kind of 'meh.' The Fall of Lazarus is more a trip through the protagonist's psychological state than a work of science fiction. It takes place on a space ship, but other than the setting there's not much sci-fi about the story. I found the protagonist somewhat unlikeable, but given her psychological state perhaps that's intended. The game itself it partly story heavy walking simulator and part puzzles. The space ship environment was a bit interesting and very basic. The puzzles lacked much instruction at all. For the most part they weren't too difficult to figure out once you understood how they worked (which was not trivial in some cases). However, I think where were some missteps in the puzzles. A guide for the constellation puzzle was included but I couldn't find a way to refer to it once I started the puzzle so it wasn't helpful at all. The star map puzzle desperately needed to inform the player that you can rotate the pie...

Not the best and most engaging game I have played, but picked it up at sale and found it interesting enough to play. Some puzzles are ok and some makes no sense. You happen to solve it by chance without knowing why. In the end I played it mostly to get to see the ending. Did that happen? No. Since the user interface is not very user-friendly you might easily start a new game instead of continuing the one you played. I was aware of that, but thought at least you would get some warning that your savegame will be lost if you press wrong. Apparently not. One little slip, and will never see the ending. Can't be bothered to start all over. Not a big loss I guess.

The Fall of Lazarus. *Sigh*. I was expecting this to be a “adventure / space / exploration / mystery” game (as advertised by the tags) but what I got was a psychological mind f**k / space ship / small environment / uninteresting, convoluted story game. To say I'm disappointed is an understatement. Pros: Graphics are decent Puzzles to solve Well optimized Cons: The story is confusing and uninteresting The “flashback” points in the story are pointless Some of the puzzles are nonsensical Your character is much too whinny Very short game I did enjoy some of the puzzles and exploring the ship so it wasn't a total loss. However, the ship is a bit small and some of the puzzles are needlessly complicated. For example, at one point, you have to restart the engines. There are sticky notes all over the command console. Don't you think the company that built the ship would have clearly labeled the buttons and switches? I guess not, not in this game. So you have to fumble through it, ta...

Unfortunately this is [b]The Fail of Lazarus[/b]. First of all I've completed this game in about 6h without rushing through the space ship. This is much too short. The Story didn't interest me at all and the female narration voice/script is terrible. She's whining about everything and she's not funny at all. Finding tampons (thankfully unused) in the lockers all around the ship - is that meant to be a joke? Well, I didn't get it.

The rooms themselves are fine, but the way they're connected is a confusing mess. You spend most of the game wandering around the ship trying to find where you need to go next. There are multiple long, empty, pointless hallways that all look identical. There are only 6 floors, but there's 3 elevators, each of which connects to random other floors. To get from floor 1 to floor 0 requires going through all three elevators. There's a serious lack of signs. * The save points are terrible. I lost 10-15 minutes of gameplay multiple times, after quitting following what I assumed would be a save point. * Most of the puzzles are poorly designed and just feel like a chore. The worst is the constellation puzzle, ...

I'm not sure it it was the controls with the keyboard and mouse but I spent the entire time fighting with the camera. Then the game bugged out twice. I might try again with a Xbox controller but for now this game seems unplayable.

the engine and inviroments are beautiful, but the game doesn't support full 1080p res for some reason? I have to play the game windowed. then a game breaking bug occured in the prologue level, that's enough for me. requested refund.
