The Forgotten City is a narrative-driven time loop adventure in ancient Rome. Discover the ruins of an ancient underground city, travel 2000 years into the past, and unravel the mystery of who destroyed it by cleverly exploiting the power to wind back time. The fate of the city is in your hands.
Players reset an entire city's timeline if anyone commits a "sin," with the protagonist retaining critical inventory and knowledge from previous attempts. Unlike traditional time-loop games, this mechanic offers unhurried exploration, allowing players to experiment without punitive time constraints.
From a first-person view, adventurers navigate a meticulously designed underground Roman city. Developers purposefully placed environmental details, creating organic pathways that naturally guide players' mental mapping. Hidden artifacts and subtle clues reward thorough exploration.
Conversations drive the narrative, with players strategically interrogating 22 distinct characters. Dialogue options dynamically evolve based on previously uncovered information, enabling increasingly sophisticated interactions. Intelligent design allows players to skip repetitive conversations efficiently.
Players can resolve challenges through nuanced dialogue persuasion, strategic bribery, calculated intimidation, subtle stealth techniques, optional archery combat, and clever manipulation of time loop knowledge.
Interconnected side quests reveal narrative depth. Players can assist characters in personal dilemmas, with each interaction potentially unlocking critical story revelations. Non-linear quest progression empowers player agency.
Logic-based puzzles intertwine seamlessly with storytelling. Players must decode character motivations, uncover hidden relationships, and strategically leverage time loop insights to progress.
Four distinct narrative endings emerge from player decisions. Choices generate profound, cascading consequences, encouraging multiple thoughtful playthroughs.
Most players complete the adventure in 6-10 hours. Each moment feels intentional, maintaining consistent narrative engagement and player curiosity.
The experience features an immersive first-person perspective, flexible control schemes, minimal combat, and a robust save system.
