The Forgotten City is a first-person RPG game with a hint of combat and a lot of exploration and investigation. ![]() Yeah, I can’t be bothered to help someone trying to kill themselves… Should anyone commit a crime within this mysterious location, such as stealing, murder, threatening someone else, or starting a fight, everyone will be killed as “the many shall suffer for the sins of the one!” As such, you’ve been asked to look around the city, talk to the locals, and discover who is going to break the Golden Rule and trigger the genocide – But, it’s not as easy as it may sound… This city is unlike any you’ve ever heard of, the small community is being overlooked by their God, a God who despises human treachery. You look around and realise that you’re still within the enclosed walls of the hidden Roman city, only the buildings look as good as new rather than the derelict condition they were in a few moments ago – what’s going on? Before long, you discover that you’ve been transported back in time two thousand years, back when the city was populated by 23 Romans who were trapped within the walls of this strange self-enclosed city decorated with majestic golden statues. I’ll avoid all spoilers outside of the opening few minutes and the concept (which is on the store page), as this is a game you really need to play and experience yourself without any guides or hints.Īs you emerge from the portal, things look eerily familiar yet different. If you purchase the game on PSN (tomorrow), you get both the PS4 and PS5 versions (same with Xbox One/Series) – I’ve obtained the platinum in both versions of the game running on my PS5 and also played the PS4 version on a base PS4 console to see how it holds up. The publisher is Dear Villagers, the publishing branch of Plug In Digital (formally known as Playdius). ![]() This is their first commercial release but I sincerely hope it’s not their last as there’s a lot of talent and creative ideas on show within this game. Modern Storyteller is a small indie team created on the back of the original mod’s success, with the original solo developer forming a studio to create the re-imagined stand-alone title over four years. Due to the incredible reception and demand for it to become its own game, Modern Storyteller has brilliantly re-imagined it on all platforms (Switch later this year) as a stand-alone experience, expanding on the original concept and script to deliver the definitive edition. Do you remember Skyrim, the RPG from Bethesda which has appeared on pretty much every platform in the universe – including as a ‘choose your own adventure’ on Alexa devices? Well, if you played it on PC and dabbled around with the various mods you could install, you may have been one of the three million people who downloaded and experienced The Forgotten City.
