About the Game

LAZARETTO is an immersive first-person survival horror game that puts players in the shoes of an urban explorer - whose investigation of an abandoned quarantine island turns into a strange, surreal and dangerous adventure. 

DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE
Lazaretto is a game for those who enjoy getting lost in mysteries. Chapter One teases you with strange and unusual events in which not everything can be explained.

IMMERSIVE AUDIO
Pack your headphones: the decaying environment coupled by eerie sound design makes this one of the most atmospheric horror games on Steam!

COMBAT-FREE GAMEPLAY
Armed with only a flashlight, you'll need to use your wits to avoid dangerous adversaries.

HORRIFYING CREATURES
Modeled by Fabrizio Bortolussi (District 9, Silent Hill) and animated by Dhaval Soni (GTA V).

PHENOMENA
We explore unexpected findings in our own physical world, the mysteries of supernatural phenomena, and the inner-horrors of the subconscious mind.

PUZZLES
Unique puzzles are presented organically as storytelling mechanisms, appropriate to the environment.
