Lead a country in a post-nuclear apocalypse
We are in the year 2075, the human race has just survived a nuclear apocalypse, and one of the few remaining countries has just chosen you as its president. There are some difficult decisions to make, and you are the one in charge. And of course: the nation can prosper or sink depending on the decisions you make.
The thin line between success and failure
This is the main premise of Lapse: A Forgotten Future, which is inspired by independent titles such as Papers, Please and sometimes even reminds users of management simulators like Frostpunk. In terms of difficulty, it is extremely challenging to find balance and keep going, but at the same time, it is super difficult to stop playing this game.
There are four basic indicators that will determine if it is worthwhile to continue being president: ecology, how you treat your citizens, your decisions about the army, and how you manage money. As for decision-making, think of it as the Tinder of politics: swipe left to say no, right to say yes.
Challenging, but highly addictive.
It is very hard to say anything bad about Lapse. The game is very well developed; the mechanics and the essence of the titles mentioned above are very well transferred to touch controls, so perhaps the only "bad" thing that can be said about it is that it has a high learning curve and mistakes are not forgiven. This is not bad in itself, but it will obviously take you a bit longer to master the game.
