About this game
Black Lazar is a multimedia interactive novel where your choices matter, featuring:-
A branching mystery story
The Black Lazar is wanted! As Detective Viktor Metrakos, you will stop at nothing to bring this crime lord to justice. But will your tragic past and the consequences of your decisions threaten to undermine you before you manage to track him down? Travel the world, past and present, and meet a diverse array of characters – but beware: not everyone can be trusted.
Surpassing 250,000 words and spanning 16 chapters, what you read is shaped by your choices.
120+ works of hand-drawn art
All animated in-game. Characters' expressions will change based on what you say and how you treat them.
Psychological traits
What you choose can change you... for better or worse. Are you the strait-laced detective, or a ruthless, misogynistic renegade willing to do anything for answers? What will you become to uncover the truth?
Over one hour of original music
Ranging from orchestral to electronica, the entire game is scored with dynamic music, which evolves in reaction to your choices. Things are about to get tense - and you’ll hear it.
More than 100 Foley sound effects
report the consequences of your decisions – footsteps down the hall, a creak of the floorboards… the visceral crunch of iron against bone.
Multiple end sequences
Each nuanced by the hundreds of decisions you make along the way.
