About the game

The Forgotten City is a mystery adventure game of exploration and deduction, and a re-imagining of the critically acclaimed mod that won a national Writers’ Guild award and racked up over 3 million downloads.

Don't break the golden rule

Combat is an option, but violence will only get you so far.

Only by questioning an intertwined community of colourful characters, cleverly exploiting the time loop, and making difficult moral choices can you hope to solve this epic mystery. Here, your decisions matter. The fate of the city is in your hands.

Features

  • Explore an open-world ancient Roman city with historically authentic art, architecture, costumes and customs

  • Investigate a gripping, non-linear mystery with multiple endings

  • Become entwined in the lives of richly detailed, deeply interactive characters

  • Grapple with moral dilemmas which have life-and-death consequences

  • Role-play as whoever you want, by choosing your own sex, race and backstory

  • Solve problems with reason, charm, bribery, intimidation, violence, or by cleverly exploiting the time-loop

Enjoyed the mod?

If you liked the mod, you’re going to love the stand-alone game. We've taken the best elements of the mod, re-written the script, which is now more than twice the length of the original at 80,000+ words, and added plenty of exciting new twists, endings, and surprises. Walk the streets of a brand new city. Get to know re-imagined characters. Solve challenging new puzzles with new gameplay mechanics, and enjoy an all-new orchestral score and professional voice acting. This is the story we always wanted to tell, for you to enjoy all over again - and again.
