2017's Gray Dawn and 2022's Last Days of Lazarus may be five years apart and from technically two different companies, but they share quite a lot of the same DNA from primary developer George Remus (Poiana) formerly of Interactive Stone and now Darkania Works (with assistance of Catalin Marcu of Grimtalin for Lazarus). They're both visually striking religious horror experiences drawing on rich Romanian culture and folklore, including beautiful iconography, mysticism, and alchemy. While their daring, sometimes stomach churning stories go astray sometimes, their value as interactive experiences can't be underestimated. These are some of the most unique walking simulators you'll ever play. Find out why!
