About This Game

The whole of Lebanon, at real scale

Lebamap is an open-world game built from real map data. Every road, coastline, valley and town of Lebanon is where it really is, at 1:1: Beirut to Tripoli is 67 km as the crow flies and about 80 km by road. More than 10,000 square kilometres of land, from the Mediterranean shore to the mountain tops, drawn in a vivid painted look close to real life: warm sun on stone, turquoise water, streets that glow at night, and a sky that changes through the day.

Go anywhere

• Walk the Corniche, Hamra and Downtown Beirut, in first or third person
  
• Take a car off the street and drive the real roads, with nearly 200 kinds of vehicle, from scooters to buses
  
• Swim and dive along the coast, and follow rivers clear enough to see the bottom
  
• Walk Jeita Grotto's upper cave and take the boat along its lower river, then ride the cable car outside
  
• Ski Lebanon's six resorts: ride the chairlifts, carve, jump off the crests, spin and grab
  
• Check in at Beirut airport, walk through the terminal and board a flight
  
• Fly over the whole country in Sandbox
  
• Climb to the Cedars, cross the Bekaa to Baalbek, or follow the coast south to Saida and Tyre
  
• Open the map of the whole country and set a GPS route, or in Sandbox travel straight to any place

A country that lives

Traffic drives the real roads and people walk the pavements and live in the buildings, as many as live there in real life. Some 130,000 real businesses stand where they are, each with its name and its hours: walk in and see what it sells. The sun sets into the sea, the windows light up at night, and the weather can follow the live weather at Beirut airport.

Game modes

Story: you land in Beirut at midnight with $1,000 in your pocket. Get through the airport and out into Lebanon, then earn your way. No flying, no cars on call, no hurrying the clock.

Sandbox: all of Lebanon and no rules. Walk, drive, swim, dive and fly wherever you like, and open your world to your friends on Steam or on your local network.

Gamemodes in Sandbox

Tsunami: the ground shakes, a warning comes to your phone, and the sea pulls back from every shore. Then wave after wave comes in, each higher than the last, at a magnitude from 1 to 5. People run, cars are carried off, and what the water goes over comes down.

Ground Zero and Guns: two more ways to turn the world you are in into something else, and back again.

Make it yours

Create your character, keep as many worlds as you like, and tune the game to your machine: shadows, anti-aliasing, 3D clouds, field of view, text size and more. Play with a keyboard and mouse or any gamepad.

AI Generated Content Disclosure

The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

The game's code, and the scripts that build its characters, vehicles, landmarks and textures, were written with the help of AI coding tools. The map of Lebanon itself comes from real open data (OpenStreetMap, elevation and land-cover surveys), not from AI. Nothing is generated by AI while you play.
