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.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Lapse 2 at none against Pocket Build's 11. Lapse 2 also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and review sentiment (100% vs 77%). Pocket Build's advantage is ratings volume (27K vs 75) and chart position (#35 vs unranked). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
