Our take on Last Days of Lazarus
Its emphasis on a single family mystery and a first-person narrative limits the focus on other kinds of play. The story stays with Lazarus's return, the events surrounding his family, and the setting's supernatural and historical themes.
What is Last Days of Lazarus?
Lazarus returns to his childhood home after his mother's death to spend time with his sister, Lyudmila.
As the country around them appears to fall apart, unexplained supernatural events unsettle reality and lead him to investigate his family's past. This first-person adventure follows a troubled man through mysteries, questionable characters, and conflicting accounts of the truth. Its setting draws on post-Soviet history, communist and post-communist struggles, local beliefs, propaganda, and superstition, with Gothic and supernatural elements.
