The Forgotten City

The Forgotten City is a beauty to behold no matter the eye, a deeply contemplative story matched with wonderful puzzles based in classical antiquity.

The Forgotten City tells an immersive and incredible story. Combined with the beautiful city itself, the secrets of Modern Storyteller's first official release beg to be unraveled.

The Forgotten City is an exceptionally clever game with some of the best puzzle design and story beats in recent memory.

The Forgotten City is an incredible game with meticulously crafted puzzles and an engrossing time loop story. While it has some quirks, this cloud version is a fantastic way to play the game thanks to the Switch’s portability.

Deftly written, smart, and consistently clever, The Forgotten City makes for a rousing, spirited adventure that is well worth taking part in. I wish it were longer, but that doesn't do much to knock what has been accomplished here.

I had the pleasure of playing The Forgotten City from Modern Storyteller in a preview build a couple months ago. I was absolutely blown away by it. Not only did it offer an intriguing premise, but everything from the writing, acting, soundtrack, and graphics were outstanding. It was one of the rare few games that I couldn’t put down once I’d started it. I can’t believe this whole project started o...

A Roman city resides within a large mountain, hidden from light and prying eyes. Only 23 people call this secret society home, and they appear to live harmoniously together, but looks can be deceiving. Time has taken its toll on each soul, but they can never leave, and more pressing yet, cannot sin, for even the most minor white lie or act of theft will steal the life from everyone. An angry god l...

It's time to travel back 2000 years and visit a cursed ancient Roman city for this unique take on the murder mystery formula.

The Forgotten City offers a lot of great replay value for those looking to solve compelling story puzzles in multiple ways. The adventure portions are lackluster, but not bad enough to ruin the entire game. The Forgotten City will be most enjoyable for those that never experienced the first version and its set pieces. Still, those former players will discover enough modifications to find the full ...

I highly recommend that anyone who loved the original mod that inspired The Forgotten City or anyone that just likes a good story-driven title play this game. The time loop mechanic, evolving dialogue, and myriad of choices and scenarios that occur make for one hell of a narrative ride. Anyone looking for Skyrim-light should beware, though, as you'll surely be disappointed by the fact that the gam...

Modern Storyteller has done a great job with the few people they have and the scope of the work they pulled off. Not many developers can pull off a game with multiple events, triggers, and mechanics that are all up to the player to pull off. You can easily have a very broken game this way (even from a AAA game developer), but they pulled it off and that benefits the game’s narrative and the player...

Clearly The Forgotten City is a game that speaks to those who revel in conversation. Those RPG fans who'd prefer not to fight or lash out, but converse and take a more steady, expository approach to finding a solution. It's no exaggeration to say that the mythos Modern Storyteller both utilize and borrow from here is both surprising and satisfying with where it ends up heading. And while the narra...
