Lapse: A Forgotten Future

Great idea, pretty well executed. The game is challenging and complex enough to be fun to repeat, and is actually designed with three different endings to accomplish. Even beyond trying to accomplish all three endings, the randomness of the cards and how decisions affect larger gameplay mean you're not playing the same game twice. Some of the verbiage could be a little clearer, as it is sometimes hard to tell the difference between two options, but overall the gameplay is addictive. The graphics are simple, but clean, smooth, and professional looking. It has ads, but, not too many, and, it gives you rewards for watching some optional ads. If you really don't like ads, you can pay a small amount to get rid of them entirely.

I've only been playing for a day and I'm completely hooked. The storyline is interesting and engaging, and I love the simplistic layout and gameplay. It reminds me a little of a scaled-down civilization game, but with an overarching story and iteresting recurring characters. The situations presented are complex, and I love that there isn't always a right or wrong decision. It feels somewhat realistic in that way. Overall, I highly reccomend Lapse for anyone who likes strategy or a good story.

This game is so fun! It's simple and intuitive, and just frustrating enough to keep me trying again and again. Ads only pop up when you lose, and can be closed after five seconds. Optional ad opportunities are occasionally presented in exchange for a very helpful powerup. Graphics are good, gameplay is smooth, the lore is fascinating. Played for a couple of hours and haven't found any glitches yet. Highly recommended.

Y e s . It's not a pay-to-win game. You can earn temporary upgrades through ads, and decisions you make in the game. It's a super interesting timeline, going beyond you restarting every time you die. It's a loop. Ponder on that for a second. But as to not spoil anything, I'll just leave it with this, the game is amazing, and full of creativity that went into planning. 21/19, would recommend even if you're not into strategy games all that much.

This game is very clever in its mechanics and concept. Its functions are simple enough to learn and get a grasp on, the scenarios provide enough of a mind game to keep you intrigued, and the simple yet challenging gameplay leaves enough content to be satisfied with the game choice after choice, year after year, and session after session. Overall, I see next to no need for change, and I'm happy to have paid that cup of coffee to support the developer. 10/10!

This game is incredibly fun with excellent replay value. I've had it on two different phones and once I was pretty convinced I had found all the different paths I switched it out for the sequel. That one i still have to work on, and though I did delete it from my phone because I needed storage space for some important pictures, I will absolutely put it back on and keep going in the future. Maybe by the time I finish that they'll have produced a third. 😁

Pretty easy to die in a few turns, ads sometimes irritating, but the game's great. Ended up with the early Machina ending and thought that was it. But no, this game is so much more complex than I thought. Only part I haven't done is the loop ending, but I already know what happens, so I'm moving on to the second. Great plot, ended up speed running it in less than 24 hours, and it was crazy. Great game, great game indeed.

This game is a lot of fun, it's mysterious, intriguing, and a great time waster! I really don't have any complaints but 1. It's not hard, but it could be a bit easier, it's quite easy to die, but thats also what makes it a good challenge. To the developer, I would suggest having 2 difficulties. Easy, (like where you get say maybe 2 extra lives before you die) and normal (the current version we have now.) this game is great I would highly reccomend to anyone! Great story too!!
