The Forgotten City

>>> An incredible story <<< I can't to call it the best story ever because there are so many great ones out there, but I can definitely say that it's the best story I've ever experienced in a video game. It captivated me in a way few games ever have. For the entire journey, I wasn't thinking about progression, min-maxing, achievements, or completionism. I was simply driven by curiosity, eager to discover what would happen next and uncover every new piece of the mystery. It reminded me of what it felt like to truly enjoy games for the first time. In fact, I almost feel guilty for buying it on sale. It absolutely deserves its full price. I sincerely hope to see more titles from these devs in the future.

You know the reviews are good for this game, mostly because of the unique concept it does well. It's a game of discussions, and each of two dozen characters has just enough depth to be interesting but not enough to care about them. Pacing is up to you, and the game has some very uneven sequences with excitement. The cause and effect is easy to follow, and when you forget, the quest log even comes with markers. The ways they make replaying the time loop bearable is pretty clever. Definitely fun and forgiving enough to go in blind; just play as the Soldier (covert mission) to maximize your ability to reload saves for achievements without starting over. Do a manual save after momentous things. Save ~3 bullets for achievements. Negligible achievement-related spoilers follow... Overall some achievements are a little annoying, including the need to play through again once for efficiency (which isn't too bad following a guide the second time through). Another requires lying 10 times, not as easy as it sounds but again there's guides. There's an achievement for knocking statues you've already paralyzed into not-yet-paralyzed ones (10 times, in the same save file, there's a long dungeon stretch that's good for this but you can't save+load the same statue over and over). Occasionally the game assigns new quests to you rapid-fire... picking up a crown at one point requires switching back to that quest just to find it.

Great game Not very long, can complete all endings in an evening, but certainly satisfying

很好玩_(:з)∠)_

Très bon jeu d'enquête ! Ca passe tout seul !
