If the idea of exploring an edge-of-your-seat terrifying world sounds good then you definitely can't go wrong with Charon's Staircase.Charon's Staircase gameplay video → Last Days of Lazarus Review Xbox Series X ★★★☆☆ What happens when you mix Christian symbolism with grotesque horror and set it in Eastern Europe? The answer is Last Days of Lazarus. Last Days of Lazarus is a lot like Charon's Staircase except swap an unsettling atmosphere with downright disturbing imagery.

Considering the landscape of indie horror games that more often misses than hits, this does reasonably well Let me be blunt.

Charon’s Staircase is more a thriller than a horror with a very intriguing story that has some pretty cool twists. Some of the puzzles are a bit ambiguous and will leave you scratching your head, but in the end you’ll have experienced another treasure of storytelling from the minds of a talented and dedicated smaller studio.

Charon’s Staircase can feel a bit like putting on a pair of comfy slippers, sipping some cocoa and kicking back with a good old-fashioned ghost story. But other moments frustrate, with some not-so-fun puzzles, brightness issues, and a familiar last act.

Charon’s Staircase doesn’t exactly redefine the horror genre. It looks a bit rough, and its tried-and-tested gameplay doesn’t break any moulds. But the majority of its puzzles will keep you hooked, its story is interesting, and it absolutely nails creating a tense, horrifying atmosphere. That alone makes this a spooky adventure worth stepping into.
