Evaluation

Last Days of Lazarus launched on Steam on June 22, 2022 as a complete, self-contained narrative adventure game. The developers described it at launch as an eight-chapter story with a defined runtime and no mention of post-launch content plans. After launch, the studio issued a handful of bug-fix patches and then, on July 26, 2024, released version 1.1 — a free update adding a "Secret Files" bonus feature (unlockable character dossiers) and Steam Deck optimizations. That same post directed players to wishlist the studio's next game, The Crimson Maid, and thanked them for two years of support. The tone of the post reads as a celebratory send-off rather than a signal of ongoing development plans for this title. No DLC has ever been listed for the game, no roadmap or future content has been announced, and there have been no developer communications since July 26, 2024. The studio's attention has visibly shifted to The Crimson Maid. Last Days of Lazarus appears to be content-complete as of the version 1.1 update.

About this game

The disturbing story of a broken family

Set in a post-soviet Eastern Europe, Last Days of Lazarus tells the story of a troubled man, long estranged, returning to his childhood home after his mother’s death to spend some time with his sister Lyudmila. But as the country around him seems to fall apart, so does reality itself, with a series of unexplainable events leading him on a quest to find out more about his family’s disturbing past.

The supernatural bleeds into a post-communist nightmare

Last Days of Lazarus is a first-person adventure game with a strong narrative and rich visuals drawing its inspiration from the post soviet era with a Gothic vibe and supernatural elements. As the story unravels, you’ll meet questionable characters whose corrupted version of the truth you’ll need to navigate. With a troubled past yourself, you’ll struggle not only with solving the mysteries laid upon you but also with keeping alive any sliver of hope for salvation.

Real life influences and beliefs

Inspired by our country's history and locations, Last Days of Lazarus tells a story filled with supernatural elements of local belief, laid upon communist and post-communist struggles. In a sick society where everyone cares only about themselves and their survival, can family bonds still be upheld and cherished? And with so much propaganda and superstitions, can level headed thinking still be achieved?
