Reviews
Just finished playing this. Absolutely incredible game. 10/10. Mind blowing, beautiful, immersive, and original as hell (or hades). Bravo, bravo. This game will stay with me for a long time, and I will be recommending it to anyone with a passing interest in history, philosophy, science fiction, exploration, puzzle solving, or just people who like to poke about ruins and make discoveries (like me!).

For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 23 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 14 places towards #1, and the 2,515 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

第一次时间循环的时候有点担心游戏进程的重复,但是这个游戏很好的把前一个循环做得事用简单的话一次性概况了,NPC也都很配合,哈哈。非常优秀的游戏,每个NPC的故事简短却也有趣,每个人身上都有或多或少的谜题和过去值得了解,非常值得玩!

Shout out to one of my history teachers who mentioned this game. So glad I played it and did so without spoilers
First impression: 8/10 After first l***: 10/10 After second l***: 11/10 Final and epilog: 🤯😍
Skyrim mod turned original game, The Forgotten City might be on a different engine but it still has that certain Skyrim feel to it, especially in its lovely environments, UI, and unfortunately stiff facial animation. But its focus is on its story and its time loop premise and its in those things that it excels, encouraging trial and error with each loop letting you delve deeper into the mysteries of the city as you chase an escape from it. While it could've done more to explore the culture clash between its modern protagonist and ancient romans and its few combat-focused sequences are mediocre at best, The Forgotten City's well-rounded set of characters, unique premise and effective execution makes it absolutely worth its pricetag even 5 years later.
Interessante Erzählung mit einem Zeitschleifen-Gameplay. Ein wirklich gutes Spiel mit interessanten Spielmechaniken, einer gelungenen Story und überraschenden Wendungen. Die Entwickler haben sich sichtlich viel Mühe gegeben. -------------------------------------------------------------------- An intriguing narrative with time-loop gameplay. A truly good game with interesting gameplay mechanics, a well-crafted story, and surprising twists. The developers clearly put a lot of effort into it.
I didn't expect much when I started this game but I was blown away by how great it is! This game has some of the best writing I saw in any videogame ever. The dialogue, the story, the mystery and sense of discovery are exceptional. The map is well thought out and most of the characters are actually interesting. All that is so good that I couldn't care less about the occasional bugged dialogue (happened twice) or dying because I'm getting stuck on something. Yes, this game has action and horror elements. I think it doesn't overstay it's welcome, actually that section was one of my favorite parts of the entire game. If you think it's out of place you can actually skip it entirely. And you can RUN!!! Take notes, puzzle/adventure game devs, please! Noone wants to walk at a snails pace lol. Great game, congrats to the devs, highly recommend!
