Jack Hayes: The Lazarus Sign

it's a very interesting game in which you influence the storyline through your conversations. sometimes it is not that easy to correctly assess the characters in the game and to choose the sentences which leads to the desired outcome. In the game itself there are unpredictable twists and turns and you get an interesting insight into the thoughts of the characters (especially the protagonist and his past) which I really enjoyed. In my opinion, people talk a little too much, which means that you spend a lot of time reading. Overall, it took me about 3-4 hours to play through, so this game is a nice fast paced game for your spare time.

RPG Maker strikes again! Jack Hayes: The Lazarus Sign is one of hundreds of low effort retro-pixel RPG Maker asset/construction kit flips spamming the Steam catalog, made with the RPG Maker video game construction kit... in their own words, "Our easy to use tools are simple enough for a child." Like all RPG Maker "games", this is essentially a bunch of low quality/canned assets from RPG Maker coupled with a cringeworthy high school anime club fan fiction. The "developer" of this tragic kitbash couldn't even work out how to make a JRPG with RPG Maker (the only thing it can do, and it's not even very good at that). Instead it's a 2D retro pixel noir adventure game, mostly an e-book with high school anime club dropout fanfiction writing, the kind of stuff that would get them shoved into their locker when the jocks read it... and you can't do "noir" with crap graphics, as the tremendious failure of this RPG Maker asset flip shows. As with all RPG Maker games, the poor quality engine displays badly in fullscreen and doesn't have full HD support or any graphics tweaking options, making this unacceptable for any dedicated modern PC gamer. The point can be made that the intention of RPG Maker is to make demos and small games to pass around friends, and shouldn't be used for "professional" game development. Like most RPG Maker shovelware and asset flips, the game features extremely low quality copy + pasted 2D retro pixel art, looks awful, and has even worse gameplay. RPG Maker is an absolutely terrible construction kit, and never results in games of any reasonable quality or value to gamers. It's free... now, but it wasn't before. The developer was charging $6 USD for this. Price barriers, especially on low quality products, can be a direct cause of failure. It's a nice gesture for the game to be given away for free, but it also tells us that the game wasn't good enough to succeed as a paid product. Even though this is "free", it failed to appeal to the 120 million+ gamers on Steam. SteamDB showed the game peaked at only 2 concurrent players... this is a dismal public reception. This was so bad they couldn't even give it away. Bearing in mind that free games don't add +1 to your game collector count, should you bother adding this to your library and downloading it? Nope. This isn't worth downloading. While this didn't cost me any money up front, I still feel ripped off.

The Melodrama in this game is nauseating.

Jack Hayes "Lazarus Sign" ist wohl das, was man ein "Hidden Gem" nennt. Es ist ein Indie-Game auf Pixel-Art-Basis wie aus einem Lehrbuch. Meisterhafte Story, tiefe Charaktere, großartige Atmosphäre. Ein kurzes Spiel, aber intensives Spiel, das während seiner 3,5-4h Spielzeit alles mitnimmt, was geht. Der Entwickler ist Deutscher und kommt aus Baden-Württemberg. Ich hoffe, dass er eines Tages eine Fortsetzung schreibt.
