Lazaret

Similar to SOMA but minus the deep plot.

Sorry but i just cant recommend this. It's not a Horror game. The jumpscares are getting old very quick and theres no Tension in this game. if you like walking sims - okay. I am a bit sad that theres no real story in the game.

Lazaret is one of those games where I really wish a neutral rating existed. The atmosphere is often quite strong, and the sound design works well overall. One idea I genuinely liked is the whistling mechanic: you can whistle to probe the environment, and some of the not-quite-petrified figures will whistle back. This actually allows you to identify danger before blindly walking into it, which is a very nice concept. Unfortunately, after the second or third encounter, it becomes clear that running into the moving stone figures has almost no real consequences. You can usually tell in advance which ones will move, and I often deliberately ran into them just to trigger the same predictable, poorly executed jumpscare and get it out of the way. After that, you’re free to explore in peace — which pretty much kills any remaining tension. There are a few other enemy types that are more interesting, but they appear very rarely. While that at least prevents them from becoming annoying too quickly, they also pose no real threat to the player, which again removes most of the suspense. As a slow walking simulator with a handful of light puzzles, Lazaret can still be worth checking out on sale if you enjoy that kind of experience. The story itself was actually quite interesting in its ideas, but sadly I didn’t really understand how everything was supposed to come together by the end. That’s a shame, because the foundations are solid — the execution just doesn’t fully deliver on the tension it tries to build.
