The Forgotten City Release Date and Features
In this narrative-driven murder mystery, time will not be kind to you. While it may sound odd, one can say it’s a little worse than first expected. During the height of the Roman Empire, there are 23 souls imprisoned in an underground city. As they struggle to survive, they must ensure they never broke the Golden Rule. The rule itself is a mystery, but if ever broken, everyone in The Forgotten City dies.
Players fall into the murder mystery game as they live out the city’s last moments. And they are experiencing a time loop. In order to change things, you’ll need to use each ‘restart’ to see where you can change things. Battling is an option but it may not always be the best course of action. Exploit the time loop and make very difficult choices to solve the enigma plaguing The Forgotten City.
Here are some features of the murder mystery game:
- Explore a Roman City – Explore a vast city complete with architecture, artwork, and clothing from the time period.
- Investigate the Mystery – With multiple endings, there’s no shortage of things to uncover. Play through this non-linear mystery and see what you can uncover.
- There’s Always a Way – True to its RPG nature, The Forgotten City offers multiple ways to solve problems you encounter. Charm, bribe, and intimidate your way closer to your goal. You may also be able to negotiate things peacefully. Or simply exploit the time loop as cleverly as possible.
- For Every Choice, A Consequence – Prepare to be presented with moral dilemmas. Make the choices you can live with and the life-or-death consequences of them.
Experience the mystery on July 28, 2021. The game will be coming to PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox One.
