Your friend Professor Nichols has gone missing. Armed with the archeologist's journal you set out on a journey that will take you to places - and times - you haven't even dreamt of.
Timelapse is a classic puzzle-adventure game that has been compared to the famous Myst.
You will travel through five breathtaking, faithfully-recreated, 3D worlds of ancient Egypt, Maya, Easter Island, Anasazi, and the mythical city of Atlantis. Each world will put your puzzle-solving skills to the test, before giving away its secrets. Can you solve all the puzzles and unravel the final mystery - that of the fabled sunken lost city of Atlantis?
Prepare yourself for the journey, the time gate has re-opened…
