Lazaret
A rescue team is called out to investigate a distress signal coming from a ship identified as the MTS Endurance – a ship known to have disappeared 4 years ago on a voyage across the Atlantic. The rescue operation goes awry, and you are left stranded and alone on the derelict ship. Searching below deck you find no sign of life. The crew appears to have just vanished; replaced with eerie stone statues, but perhaps you’re not as alone as you first thought. Explore the derelict ship to uncover what happened 4 years ago and what fate befell the crew.
Lazaret is a first-person horror game with light puzzle elements and an emphasis on atmosphere. You play as a lone member of a rescue crew who must complete puzzles and explore the derelict ship while trying to avoid meeting the same fate as the missing crew. Danger lurks around every corner – you must run or hide to stay alive as you learn more about the ship and what caused its mysterious disappearance 4 years ago.

I loved the demo, it has such a eerie vibe to it. The motion movement with the sea is so amazing, so if you have motion sickness you might want to turn that off. Only thing i wish is a could map key binds to mouse but other than that, game it smooth, looks good, and will keep you on your toes!

Played on Linux using Proton Exp, It works and runs great, Nice Graphics, Amazing Sound, I mean it is used in this Game like no other Horror Game as ever done before, it adds so much atmosphere and really creeps you out, Game Play is also very well done and up there with the bigger Game Names, Walk around the Ship, find notes, keys, other items to either open doors or do other things like shut down Steam leaking from pipes, etc, A fair few Puzzle to solve and not to hard to work out, and run or hide in lockers from some monsters (2), other monster seem to only push you to the ground, or try to stop you picking up some keys, but never have to worry about those monsters, Also the game will take you around 3 hours to complete, which is a lot better then most Horror Games 30 to 1 Hour playtime.
All in all this is one very good Horror Game, And i still cannot get my head around how well the Sound FX are used in this Game, Big Thumbs up from me.

POSITIVE POINTS:
- Its story is quite interesting: the more you play the more you will want to know what happened to the ship 4 years ago.
- Its puzzles are quite remarkable and the atmosphere is outstanding.
- The sound design of the game is fantastic, with various noises that will make you question whether it's just the rocking of the ship, expanding pipes, or... something else.
- The length is really good for the price: it lasts between 3 and 5 hours, depending on how you play.
NEGATIVE POINTS:
- The chases could be a bit better: I wish they were a bit longer and more dynamic!
- Some jump scare are very similar and not surprising.
CONCLUSIONS:
Lazaret is a first-person horror journey that plunges you into a haunting mystery aboard a derelict ship. With its meticulously crafted horror atmosphere and a narrative that grabs you from the start, the game invites you to solve puzzles and explore the ship as you try to unravel the fate of the missing crew, with remarkable graphics and an outstanding sound system.
EVALUATION:
7.5/10.
Its immersive narrative, horror atmosphere and challenging puzzles make this game a little hidden gem in the horror genre. Moreover, the fact that it was created by a single developer adds a personal and authentic touch to the gaming experience. Without a doubt, Lazaret is further proof that a game doesn't need a big team to deliver a memorable and exciting experience.

In the middle of the Atlantic,boarding a Ghost Ship is as scary as it get for me, this captures that essence perfectly, frame rate is excellent and the graphics are too, ive only played for 33 mins so far and i'm really enjoying it, thanks devs!!
