It’s up to you to prevent everyone’s doom, investigate the source of the curse, and successfully stop the loop.
Through a strange ritual you don’t fully understand, however, you loop back to a pre-sin version of the settlement, armed with the knowledge of what happened prior. At the moment of sin, mythological sentries activate to encase all citizens in gold. Your character is transported to an ancient Roman city populated with a curious cast of characters plagued by a common threat: if one person sins, everyone dies. Originating as a mod for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, The Forgotten City is now a standalone experience set 2,000 years in the past. What The Forgotten City achieves as a mystery and narrative-centric videogame is nothing short of extraordinary. Videogames revolving around mysteries are capable of using the medium’s interactivity to draw you in as an active participant, more so than film or television, but some games achieve this far better than others.
From Melbourne indie studio Modern Storyteller, the time-looping mystery intelligently invites you into its high-concept mythological premise in a way that makes you think and feel in equal measures.
