60 of 123 · most liked firstIndiana Jones and the Great Circle is my favorite game of 2024 and I'm absolutely shocked by this. The Forgotten City with Machine Games storytelling. Sometimes Dishonored, often Hitman. But really, a whole new blend of first person experience.
unlabelledView post →if anyone knows of any games other than Majora's Mask, The Forgotten City, and the Outer Worlds that have the time loop, adventure game puzzling and weaving together peoples schedules and secrets into incremental bits of permanent progress thing going on... im gonna need em. MM is hitting like crazy
unlabelledView post →Was gonna be a skip, but invoking The Forgotten City, Dishonored, and Hitman really is the key to make me play any game.
unlabelledView post →The Forgotten City is a game about going back to Roman times, so when it came time to choose a name, I decided it was worth becoming someone I hate in return for also ruining the game.
unlabelledView post →If you want to try an Unreal Engine 5 ELDER SCROLLS game, might I suggest THE FORGOTTEN CITY
unlabelledView post →one of the funniest things ever in a game is in The Forgotten City which is a clown game there is a guy who is so pissed off from his rheumatism pain that he sends virulent anonymous homophobic harassment to a gay guy and if you give him willow bark to treat his rheumatism he stops being homophobic
unlabelledView post →It's also good & fine to think some games are bad, even if others think those games are good! Games I think are bad include but are not limited to 13 Sentinels (much ado about nothing), The Forgotten City (an extremely dumb game that commits the sin of thinking it's very smart), FF7 Rebirth (egad!).
unlabelledView post →A map clearly inspired by Ancient Roman architecture 🏛️ and since I was born in Italy, you can imagine how much I enjoyed discovering 'The Forgotten City' (Game of the Year BAFTA award nominee).
unlabelledView post →27. The Forgotten City I've no idea how I haven't gotten around to playing this yet, it's another time loop mystery game with a fascinating ancient Rome thing going on. As far as I know, it's a remake of a very well regarded Skyrim mod. I'm certain I'll love it when I do find the time.
unlabelledView post →The Forgotten City!!! It's a fully fleshed out game based on a Skyrim mod and it has a really fun time loop mechanic and an overarching mystery to solve!!!!
unlabelledView post →I'M LIVE and I decided to dress up for the game we're playing. We're continuing The Forgotten City tonight, and I can't wait to get back to it. Twitch.tv/azhure_kylar
unlabelledView post →good friend of channel @zyllable.bsky.social guest reviews The Forgotten City; we've got two historians in a row putting their knowledge to bite-sized use! nebula.tv/videos/innue...
unlabelledView post →Y'ALL I AM LIVE with The Forgotten City game. It's based off of a Skyrim mod! Twitch.tv/azhure_kylar
unlabelledView post →Honestly as adaptations go it's amazing how well THE FORGOTTEN CITY translates what was originally a SKYRIM mod strongly founded in ELDER SCROLLS lore into a standalone game set in (a sliver of) ancient Rome
unlabelledView post →Seeing Danny O'Dwyer compare the new Indy game (lol) to The Forgotten City instantly had me 100% sold, if I wasn't already.
unlabelledView post →on another note, i've been rewatching a playthrough of the game, The Forgotten City and i love how goofy the writing for it is in certain areas that allow for the suspension of disbelief while maintaining an air of mystery and horror in some parts
unlabelledView post →22) The Forgotten City Yes, three time loop games in a row! This was originally a Skyrim mod that the creator developed into a standalone game. It was fun seeing how they adapted the story into a Roman Empire setting.
unlabelledView post →New review/analysis video is up‼️ Originally a renown #Skyrim mod, "The Forgotten City" does a fantastic job delivering the mystery & contradictory narrative of a city oppressed by one rule thru its game design & gameplay. Glad I finally got around to playing it this year 👍🏿 🌐 youtu.be/kGpZIryLHhk
unlabelledView post →Played The Forgotten City and had a grand old time, worth a go. An awful lot like an old game called Titanic: Adventure Out Of Time, which i adored and which you may never have heard of.
unlabelledView post →Since I'm selling my Xbox; mutuals, let me know if there's anything here you're interested in. The Forgotten City is still sealed, I got it when it was on clearance at GameStop (played it on game pass)
unlabelledView post →It’s 2:30AM here and I just finished The Forgotten City by Modern Storyteller. What a beautiful experience that was. https://forgottencitygame.com #theForgottenCity #game
unlabelledView post →I'm playing The Forgotten City at the moment, and I love that the developers have a message at the beginning explaining that the game was A) A passion project made by three people B) Setting expectations for the kinds of gameplay it involves.
unlabelledView post →New episode on The Forgotten City is out now! Join us as we discuss this mod-turned-game through its story about morality and Greek/Roman mythology.
unlabelledView post →Finished 'The Forgotten City' game! Was a nice short fun game!
unlabelledView post →(mild The Forgotten City spoilers) I can't believe a game about a lost Roman city made Karen memes a significant plot point
unlabelledView post →My game #15 finished this year is The Forgotten City. A Elder scrolls-esque time loop murder mystery in fantasy Rome This game surprised me positively! I LOVE murder mysteries and the story really got me hooked. I thought the time loop would annoy me but every step forward feels rewarding.
unlabelledView post →After becoming obsessed with Outer Wilds last year, a friend recommended The Forgotten City to me. I've only played for around 2 hours and I'm FULLY IN! Holy shit this game has me completely hooked already! 😍 MORE👏TIMELOOPS👏IN👏GAMES!👏
unlabelledView post →I wasn't aware of this development team before this but The Holy Gosh Darn might be one of the best adventure games I've ever played. I love a good time loop (The Forgotten City rules btw) and this is EXPERT level game design. Go play The Holy Gosh Darn gosh darn it!!!
unlabelledView post →13) The Forgotten City - wonderful game, truly a triumph
unlabelledView post →The challenge is to choose 20 games that greatly influenced you. One game per day, for 20 days. No explanations, no reviews, no particular order. #GameChallange #Games #GameDev #PromoSky Day 19: The Forgotten City
unlabelledView post →We don’t talk enough on here about how cool The Forgotten City is. Heck of a neat game
unlabelledView post →I came here to say Chants of Sennaar or The Forgotten City. Both have strong mystery narratives & puzzle solving, even though the game format is a different style from Case/Obra Dinn. Two of my favorite games!
unlabelledView post →Credits rolled on King's Field IV: The Forgotten City. An absolute gem of a game, with rough edges, that I love to bits. A fantastic testbed for my Ayn Thor - gameplay on the top screen with a guide on the bottom to easily comb through areas I'd forgotten during this replay
unlabelledView post →⚫STREAM OFFLINE ⚫ It was a fun stream - thanks to everyone that came by. Good thing I had other games prepared, sicne we finished the entirety of Portal in under 2 hours 😅 But "The Forgotten City" is truly an Incredible game in terms of story telling - we will continue it in upcoming streams
unlabelledView post →Just saw that The Forgotten City is a free with Prime Games at the moment. A must play for any history buffs! Super creative game design.
unlabelledView post →Also I've been listening to a lot of game design videos recently during work. Shoulda gotten earbuds so much sooner x-x but I'm super interested in The Forgotten City and Return of the Obra Dinn now
unlabelledView post →Closed the book on the Forgotten City last night and all I have to say is what a game! That was the perfect short experience. Didn’t overstay its welcome. Just a fun experience from start to finish.
unlabelledView post →About to start “The Forgotten City” anyone played it? Seems up my street. A visual narrative type game. Amazing reviews
unlabelledView post →Desperate for that signature terrible bethesda gameplay? Try The Forgotten City, a fascinating mystery game originally based on a skyrim mod, or Enderal: Forgotten Stories, which is LITERALLY a skyrim mod! store.steampowered.com/app/874260/T... store.steampowered.com/app/976620/E...
unlabelledView post →me, learning about the game The Forgotten City (2021): I would *definitely* do double peace signs.
unlabelledView post →Low key obsessing over The Forgotten City, a game I found when looking for Myst-likes on PSN. It's definitely not Myst and you navigate the game mostly through dialogue, which is better than it sounds thanks to being rather clever.
unlabelledView post →Started playing The Forgotten City today and my gawd is that game well polished…pun intended… Seriously though it’s a ton of fun and does a really good job of a time loop story. It’s a great immersive sim from a very small team of devs.
unlabelledView post →Was already excited for this, but mentioning the Forgotten City made me perk up, that was such an unexpectedly fantastic game.
unlabelledView post →The Forgotten City. Absolute trash time loop game which thinks it's got lots to say and really, really doesn't. The time loop puzzles are things like "man runs into temple that immediately collapses, there's a papyrus font sign on it saying DANGER OF COLLAPSE, you have to prevent this somehow"
unlabelledView post →the miss was playing The Forgotten City yesterday and i've got to say it's a pretty fucking sick time loop groundhog day type of game. very fun, cool vibes. it's on steam / playstation store right now with 80% off. for under £5 it's definitely worth a go.
unlabelledView post →The Forgotten City? Absolute banger, love that game
unlabelledView post →Love these! Notes: I very nearly made The Forgotten City my favorite game; I want 100 more. However, I cannot deny Super Metroid's hold over me. Also, Persona 3 obviously isn't bad, but it disappointed me most.
unlabelledView post →I guess they aren’t on social media anymore but #ModernStorytelling did such an INCREDIBLE job with The Forgotten City like, holy shit. It’s a brilliant game.
unlabelledView post →Normalise calling any user modification of any game a 'romhack'. Doom level? Romhack. Optifine? Romhack. The Forgotten City? Game based on a romhack.
unlabelledView post →The Forgotten City might be a good game then. Its not pure puzzle there is some action bits here are there but its basically being a detective in Roman village with a groundhog day loop.
unlabelledView post →342. The Forgotten City A wonderfully clever little story-based game that showed what developers can do by repurposing other tools. I have a soft spot for Roman history and mythology, and this packed some fun twists into a short runtime. #365games
unlabelledView post →Now live with another attempt to get the Forgotten City, the cool and interesting murder mystery game set in Ancient Rome, to work. We'll see how this will go but if it fails, I have something to fall back on www.twitch.tv/dustyblind
unlabelledView post →Playing a video game (The Forgotten City) that portrays an ancient board game (Senet) which also has its own video game version (Senet: Households by @valuefnd.bsky.social)
unlabelledView post →I'm thinking about buying one game. Here's a list. Bloodbourne The Forgotten City Atomic Heart Sekiro Please let me know in the comments which ones are the worst game in history or why I should pay $$ for the best game ever. Also feel free to fight with each other! But only on these
unlabelledView post →the ending of The Forgotten City made me cry, beautiful game that did not overstay its welcome
unlabelledView post →🔴Going live with a new game, The Forgotten City~ First time playing it, never even played the original Skyrim Mod, so I'm excited to unravel the mysteries! #Vtuber #ENVtuber #Twitch Links Below~
unlabelledView post →Todays #MustPlayMonday is The Forgotten City. Originally started as a Skyrim mod, in some ways you can tell but this has a bit more finish. Excellent soundtrack, great voice acting and the game is stunning. A time loop game where you're tasked with figuring out who will break the golden rule.
unlabelledView post →The Forgotten City is great game, can't believe I didn't know about it till recently.
unlabelledView post →This is true but I also just finished “The Forgotten City”, a very AA-ass game and it felt so refreshing.
unlabelledView post →I decided to give The Forgotten City a try tonight. It's a game that started off as a Skyrim mod and was released as a fully-featured game in 2021. And... it's an amazing adventure game thus far with great writing and a cool story! I'm excited to see where it takes me. #Gaming #VideoGames
