About this game

Lapse 2: Before Zero is the official prequel to Lapse: A Forgotten Future. That you are here means, in some way, you were successful in your quest to save the world – or to destroy it. Doesn’t really matter which, since you’re about to travel from a future world into the ancient times. The one who once was President is now Pharaoh, the one who once was a machine is now your most precious ally in the challenge to come.

When you open your eyes, the year is 1750 BC, and the place is ancient Egypt. For some unknown reason, this mysterious land needs your help. Proceed cautiously: what may seem like ruling just another kingdom, may well be the key to the world’s survival.

Lapse 2: Before Zero answers the players’ questions, revealing the mysteries of the first chapter.

Ratings and reviews

I've played the original, and this game is great. Unfortunately, I do have some caveats. I've noticed this game is much longer, by several decades. This hurts realism and more importantly the gameplay. One problem I've had with the first was that; there was a point when I started to swipe left and right just to get to the next part of the story. I was bored. In the this one it's worse since it takes even more time to get to the end. Another part that was troubled me was the scales. For realism, the scales were either balanced for the purity of the heart, or imbalanced because of the evils of the heart. In Egyptian mythology, the feather was absolute and never weighed heavier than the heart. If the scales do affect gameplay; it's really hard to tell which alignment you are once you get past the menu screen where you're at on the scale. Those are my two(four) complaints, but everything else is fine. The addition of event that either lower or increase your stats is a fine edition to the game. It's good that there're events that can kill you if you swipe. It's not too obtrusive, and put you down. It's the right amount. Graphically its superb for the time and setting. The story overall exceeds the original. It give a sense of mystery with sci-fi elements. There are some bugs but nothing game breaking i.e. crashes, freezing. Great job with the game and look forward to the next game.

It is an amazing game, can't even lie about that, not only is the story fluent, it's exciting and alomst impossible to predict. My only concern and while it isnt a ultimate turn off is that you can only have four perks, its a bit annoying especially if you're trying to live lol. my suggestion is either increase the ammount able to be carried or allow us to choose which one we wanna get rid of. Also allowing us to choose if we wanna use them because it can be wasted if we lost in two categories.

I really enjoy spending time playing this game between classes or on lunch breaks. This new iteration gives a lot of opportunities to see new cards more frequently so it stays more gripping longer. The balance systems still need some tweaking, I think. It seems too simple to get stuck having low values on all 4 stats, or maybe I'm just not good enough yet haha

What's new

Sweet, sweet bug fixes. Thanks to all of you for the amazing feedback!
