The Forgotten City

So this was originally a skyrim mod which is now released as a standalone game.I never played the mod so i can’t compare this two.Without spoiling too much you are a time traveler and you land in a world where everyone dies if someone commits a crime.You have to figure out which of the characters is the one who is responsible for the death of all the people and you have to break the loop basically.Since you are from the modern day you know the fate of these people but you are trapped in this loop as well.The characters are very well written and i also like the graphics.The face animations look a bit stiff but if you consider that 3 people worked on this game it’s not really an issue at least for me.Really interesting concept so if you like to solve mysteries and such and talk to people like in rpgs with choices and consequences you definetly gonna like it

My wife and I loved playing this over three days. Each night we would sit down on the couch and work our way through the puzzles and the mystery staying up late (on a work night too). The big reveals of the game were great moments and we're still talking about it after we've finished it. Highly recommend this game for people who like story-heavy games with an emphasis on character and dialogue.

Apparently this game started life as a Skyrim mod but I've never tried it in that form. Aside from the well-handled, first person point of view, WSAD-style movement, and pretty graphics, I didn't notice many other similarities between Skyrim and The Forgotten City. Instead of months of journeying around a vast, open world, the player spends the entire game in one day's events within a very richly detailed (though comparatively small) city populated with a dozen or two well fleshed out non-player characters. Without spoilers, a potential world-ending event occurs at the end of the day unless the player can figure out how to avoid it (and earlier if the player bumbles into it), with a few exceptions, the player must flee, the world is completely reset, and the same day begins again. Those exceptions make things really interesting -- the player keeps his/her inventory and knowledge, some plot points resolved on the previous day remain resolved, etc. The game is smartly written enough to avoid almost all feeling of repetition, though, by letting the player save time by delegating known tasks to NPCs, skip though dialog trees with oracular comments like "...yes, we've had this discussion before..." etc. There are four possible endings, each of which can eventually be explored via save files, and all of which are probably worth checking out. I recall three primary mysteries (among dozens of cleverly interrelated sidequests), there was an abduction, an election, and a religio-philosophical puzzle. I'm sure this would vary based on play style and quest order. The plot held criminals both petty and mastermind, but I never encountered anything real-world-sinister. There is a bit of combat (mostly archery), but, by far, exploration and witty discussion is how to progress. There were a few things that bugged me, the occasional invisible walls, catchall inventory, etc., but these were minor gripes that didn't really hurt gameplay. More games like this, please!

Little action, very good narrative, decisions matters. Buy it and support these people. They deserve it.
