Lazarus Decλy is an interactive multimedia video game project, utilizing Looking Glass Technologies’ 1994 PC classic, System Shock as a base. The goal of this 11 month project was to create an expansion pack-like experience, adding to the base game, utilizing some already existing game assets, whilst introducing many new and original assets which include: Original music, original audio log recordings, original textures, an original map design, and an original story unrelated to the base game whatsoever.
"Lazarus Decλy is an extremely challenging fan-mission. Including intelligent puzzles and claustrophobic level design that will test players mind, spacial awareness and willpower to survive. A rewarding experience from beginning to end." - 3RDplayer
The GOG release of System Shock Enhanced Edition is recommended!
This mod is compatible with the 'Pre - Sourceport' System Shock Enhanced Edition (Update: 1e.16) [Game Ver: 1.0.0] and System Shock Classic Edition with use of the SSP Tool!

In the year 2167 secret underground facility Lazarus Laboratories sought to further extend the average human life span as a part of a government contract, using nanite cybernetics (aka Cyber-nites).
The Cyber-nites were a resounding success with numerous in-house test groups, saving lives even. Unfortunately, however, there was one fatal flaw with the Cyber-nites, they couldn’t repair psychological damage.
If left unchecked, the Cyber-nites can rewrite a patient’s brain chemistry entirely, leaving behind only mindless shells with animalistic brains and calculated defense measures.
You are a patient that has woken up from stasis, the entire facility has been abandoned, only mindless cyborgs and the corpses of dead faculty remain. You must discover the secrets behind Cyber-cycle-sickness, and escape the facility with your life, if you can…
1. Will this ever become playable on SS:EE Source Port? Because running it on original System Shock is very glitchy (mouse horizontal control freezes time to time, 2-14fps only, plays in one quarter of my screen, etc...), and I can't get Enhanced Edition to work on 1.0 version, any EE version works, but not 1.0, it just doesn't launch, so I can't play it on EE.
2. How many levels does this have, just curious?
3. Will you add text on voiced emails, me not native english speaking, hard to understand then voice mails are with communication interuptions(zzbshpzzz)?
And of course, thank you for making this, each mod SS gets is important.
Hello Mr. Hegen,
1. A source port version may come eventually, but it'll require a lot of reimporting of assets, as we currently don't really know whats preventing it from working properly.
In the meantime, you can rollback your EE version on GOG by following these instructions:

Or install the Classic Edition with the System Shock Portable tool:

2.This mod has one challenging level, but it is dense with content, puzzles, story, and secrets to find.
3. Text is added to the voiced audio logs, but the text is in English.
Thank you, I have done my best to create a new and exciting experience with the System Shock toolset.
