The Fall of Lazarus is a sci-fi adventure set onboard the USSC Lazarus. After awaking from cryo sleep, you must investigate the mystery of why you are there and how to get off the ship. There are 9 Steam Achievements, all documented in the walkthrough below. Both the achievements and the game's chapters have ASCII-encoded names.

The First Passenger

Walk towards the black cube, then you will end up waking up from your cryo sleep.

Cryogenesis

Walk forward and look at the computer to see your name: Caleb Rogers. Walk around this room, then approach the terminal on the back of the central pillar. Pass the test by correctly placing 5 images in order, then turn around and go through the new open doorway. Walk forward and the room will go black temporarily; after the light comes back on, proceed forward again.

Read the message on the wall in the next room. Now open the first locker on the left side of the room. Take your clothes, then take the MNEM/0z1n3 and play with it for a while (you can view this again by pressing Tab). Finally, pick up the piece of paper, spin it around and examine it to see the code 2615. Now go over to the next door and enter the code 2615, then press the green button. Head through.

After Hybris talks to you, look down at the floor to get your bearings. Go straight ahead to the Crew Hub.

Crew Hub

Walk around to the right of the central pillar and scan it to get the blueprints in your device. Go around to the other side and try to use the terminal, but you don't have your keycard. Go out through the opposite exit from the crew hub, then straight across the hallway to the opposite door.

Crew Cabin

Open the locker with your name on it, and take the keycard. You can look at the other items here if you want. Return to the Crew Hub.

Crew Hub

Use the terminal. Since you don't know your login details, you will automatically start hacking the system. Browse through the available information, and you will work out your username is CRogers and your password is related to your school. Keep searching and find your profile, then select St Thomas, and you will log in to the system. Browse the emails and news feeds, then leave the terminal. Go back to your cabin.

Crew Cabin

After you enter the room, you will be interrogated by Hybris. After this, return to the Crew Hub.

Crew Hub

The elevator within the central pillar will now be open, so head inside and press the button on the wall.

Level 1

Exit the elevator and go through 3 doors (which disappear behind you). Use the terminal in the next room and read the email messages. After you blackout again, open the next door.

Outside

Head across to the tree on the floating island - make sure you go in a straight line, or you will fall and have to start the journey again. Once you get there, examine the keypad. When you press numbers, a small display is shown; the numbers 2, 5, 7 and 9 show wiggly lines, and the others show straight lines with a dot at each end. With experimentation, the only sequence that shows a complete continuous line is 7925. Enter this code, then press the green button.

Airlock

Take the coins from the cube, then open the hatch 80 82 79 76 79 71 85 69 (Prologue).

Chapter 1: Start

Walk towards the black cube, then you will end up waking up from your cryo sleep.

Cryogenesis

Walk forward and look at the computer, then continue around the back of the computer and through the opposite doorway. Walk forward and the room will go black temporarily; after the light comes back on, proceed forward again. Read the message on the wall in the next room. Now open the first locker on the left side of the room. Take your clothes, then go through the next door.

Chapter 2: Connected

After Hybris talks to you, look down at the floor to get your bearings. Go left, then enter the Crew Cabin.

Crew Cabin

Approach the locker on the left, and you will find a numeric lock. As in the prologue, you need to find a combination that gives you a continuous line; enter 2918, then press the green button. Pull the door open. Take some more clothes, then also collect a yellow flashlight. Leave here and return to the corridors. Head back towards the start, then turn left and find the Crew Hub.

Crew Hub

Walk around to the left of the central elevator and look up to see a countdown timer - you will find these around the ship. Before you finish the game, let this count all the way down to 00:00:00 83 85 68 79 32 72 65 76 84 (Sudo Halt). Now enter the elevator and press the button to go to level 2.

Social Hub

Look at the map on the side of the central hub, then head towards the medical bay.

Medical Bay

Once you are told that Dr Brooks isn't awake, follow Hybris into her office. Pick up the MNEM/0z1n3 from her desk. Try to use the terminal on the wall, but it isn't active. Go over and use the terminal on her desk, then keep trying and you will automatically start hacking the system. Browse through the available information, and you will work out your username is LBrooks and your password is related to your first job. Keep searching and find your profile, then select Sta Martha Hospital, and you will log in to the system. Browse the emails and news feeds, then make sure you activate the medical terminal.

Cargo Bay Control Hub

Head past Elevator E03 and through the opposite door.
