About This Game

You were built to be forgotten. Now you're humanity's last hope — or so the voice on the radio says.

LAZARUS is a hardcore 2D precision platformer. You play LZ-01, an obsolete military exoskeleton that has gathered dust on a museum pedestal for twenty years — until a radio signal wakes it up. Protected by the Lazarus Protocol, every time you are destroyed you are instantly rebuilt at the last backup point. Die, rebuild, climb. All the way to the top of Omni-Mind's world.

THE LAZARUS PROTOCOL

Death isn't a punishment — it's part of the protocol. Rebuild in an instant and try again, and again. Your Rebuilds counter remembers every single one.

FEATURES

• 40 handcrafted levels across 4 chapters: each chapter is a new layer of Omni-Mind's world, with its own mechanics
• 4 chapter mechanics: solid old-school physics in the Silent Museum; low-gravity fluid and sticky slime in the Evolutionary Hive; afterimages that hold down switches alongside you in the Phantom Matrix; gravity flips and dimension rewrites in the Omni-Mind Core
• 4 multi-phase boss fights, from the Museum Guardian Colossus-1 to Omni-Mind itself
• Weapons that change how you move: Ceremonial Sabre, Relic Blade, Antique Flintlock and Bio Spore Gun, switchable any time
• 4 unlockable characters, each with their own abilities, story lines and music
• 4 difficulty levels: from checkpoint-friendly Easy to Nightmare, where one death sends you back to 1-1
• 115 Memory Chips hide archives of a lost world — collect them all to unlock the hidden ending
• Every visual and every note of music is generated by code in real time: no pre-made assets, just a living world drawn as you play
• Full controller support (Xbox / PlayStation) and fully remappable keys

A STORY THAT WAITS FOR YOU AT THE TOP

EVA, a calm voice from Resistance Base CH-07, guides you upward: "We're waiting for you at the surface." But things along the way don't quite add up. Climb far enough, and you'll find out why an antique was chosen for this job.

This game contains flashing lights and glitch effects that may affect photosensitive players.

AI Generated Content Disclosure

The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

LAZARUS was developed with the help of generative AI tools. AI assisted in writing the game's code — including the code that draws every visual and synthesizes all music and sound effects in real time — as well as drafting the story, dialogue, in-game text, English/Chinese localization and store page text. All content was directed, reviewed and edited by the developer. The game does not use AI to generate any content while it is running.
