Last Days of Lazarus is a fun indie (almost) horror game with a lot to puzzle over. The game is well designed, taking much inspiration from the developers Romanian roots. The voice acting does leave much to be desired but the gameplay and exploration were a good offset.

Last Days of Lazarus is a bizarre but wonderful story that is captivating and creepy. However, the action is held back by bugs and a short story. Whats more, the heavy reliance on religious images may be off-putting.
