[Hossam Taibi]

If you’re a fan of indie horror games, it’s time to get excited. Developer Darkania Works and publisher GrimTalin just announced Last Days of Lazarus, a new horror game coming to consoles and PC in 2021. This is the latest project from George Remus, the writer and artist behind Gray Dawn, which has an 84% positive score on Steam.

Last Days of Lazarus will take you to post-Soviet Eastern Europe as your character returns home after his mother’s death. As you spend time in the country and with his sister, Lyudmila, a chain of mysterious events start to break your grip on reality. Embark on a quest to find more about an unsettling family past and try to decipher the truth.

What to Expect in Last Days of Lazarus
Like most of the best horror games out there, Last Days of Lazarus uses a first-person perspective. This view will immerse you in the striking visuals of the Romanian setting, as well as the bone-chilling atmosphere. As you progress, you’ll meet an assortment of characters who offer distorted versions of the truth.

The story will explore themes about death, spirituality and politics as you navigate a web of intermingled stories. You’ll uncover not just the truth about your character’s family, but his own troubled past as well. Twists and turns are sure to follow as you unfold the mystery.

You’ll also be able to follow two additional narratives. Explore new characters and places unique to each story as you dive deeper into the world of Last Days of Lazarus. 

2021 Releases Stacking Up
Last Days of Lazarus will release in early 2021 and will come to Steam first. Shortly after, you can grab a copy on either Xbox One or Nintendo Switch. The Switch has become quite the platform for indie games, with an impressive lineup of smaller titles coming soon.

Last Days of Lazarus isn’t the only game to get excited about in 2021, either. Another scenic supernatural game, Ghostwire: Tokyo, is coming to PS5 next year and promises another one-of-a-kind experience. With Last Days of Lazarus on PC, Xbox and Switch, and Ghostwire on PlayStation, you can get your spooky fix on any console.

If horror games aren’t your thing, there are still some big names to look forward to in 2021. Halo Infinite will be hitting Xbox and PC next year after being delayed from its initial holiday 2020 release. Other big names like Psychonauts 2, Horizon Forbidden West and Far Cry 6 will also release in 2021. 

It’s A Great Time to Be a Gamer
With what we know about Last Days of Lazarus so far, it looks like quite the experience. Now that video games are more accessible than ever, artists like George Remus have the chance to bring their vision to more players. It’s an excellent time to be an indie developer and an even better one to be a gamer.

A slew of exciting titles and new consoles are making late 2020 and early 2021 look like a gamer’s dream. Mark your calendars for next years’ releases and events.
