Lazarus Trials: Trial 101

Lazarus Trials: Trial 101 is a game about a test subject who wakes in an unfamiliar body, unable to remember where they are or how they got there. A voice that has run countless experiments begins speaking, and you decide to play along in the hope of finding answers. You must make your way through the ordeal and try to survive.

Learn through play

Lazarus Trials is a series designed to teach game literacy: the skills involved in playing and understanding video games. Trial 101 introduces navigating a 3D space, coordinating movement with looking around, and performing advanced movement such as jumping, which requires more than one key or button press.

Puzzles and instructions

You solve puzzles by identifying their objectives, distinguishing interactive objects from parts of the environment, and using game logic and out-of-the-box thinking. The trial also encourages you to test the limits of the controls and experiment with the movement abilities available through the basic controls and mechanics.

Dialogue teaches you to follow instructions and hints, and to understand the story behind them.
