Get Jack Hayes: The Lazarus Sign for PC

Jack Hayes: The Lazarus Sign is a story-focused game about private investigators Jack Hayes and Gabriela “Gab” Carter. Their struggling agency gets a case from a former friend of Gab: investigate a series of crimes against an influential industrial tycoon. The trail leads them to the island of Thirza, far from the civilization they know.

The investigation

Thirza is largely under the private control of Rudolph Fortis, a billionaire who is both the island’s most important employer and, to the people there, an apparent patron saint. As Jack investigates, he uncovers dangerous secrets amid lies and conspiracies. Haunted by nightmares of his past, he must navigate a world where rich men decide the fate of ordinary people and safety is hard to find. The case puts everyone’s survival at stake.

Dialogue and relationships

Dialogue and choices are central to the game, while other gameplay mechanics are not the focus. You manage Jack’s relationships with the people around him: acting too harshly can cost him their support, while being too accommodating can leave him open to manipulation. He may also find comfort with someone special if he can win her over.

Story and atmosphere

The game tells a complex, mature story about humanism and fairness in a world shaped by wealth and power. Artwork and a soundtrack support the emotional storytelling and bring the characters and setting to life.
