Lazarus Decλy - A Story Driven System Shock Modification (also known as simply Lazarus Decay) is a mod for System Shock. It was developed by Tommy Laszlo Productions (Tommy Laszlo) for a university project. The mod is unrelated to System Shock and is set within its own universe.

Official Description[]

Lazarus Decλy is an interactive multimedia video game project, utilizing LookingGlass Technologies’ 1994 PC classic, System Shock as a base. The goal of the 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.

This mod is compatible with the System Shock: Enhanced Edition (Update: 1e.16) [Game Ver: 1.0.0] and System Shock Classic Edition with use of the SSP Tool! It does not work on Source Port versions of the Enhanced Edition.

Story[]

Note: The story is unrelated to System Shock and is within its own universe.

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…
