[h3]Story (1/5)[/h3] A story created by ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, for ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. I will now swiftly spoil the whole story for you so that you don't have to waste your time. Karen (Charon) drops you off in front of the entrance to a city of modern day Rome. No, not Ancient Rome like the Steam description says, but the modern, gayer, fake version of Ancient Rome. The type you could see being described on r/History. Anyway, you find out that there is a Golden Rule in this place and that no one can leave. The Golden Rule is that if one person commits a crime, everyone turns to gold. You have the ability to time travel, so you try to figure out a way to stop ♥♥♥♥♥♥ from committing crimes and get everyone out of this California. Skip the boring ass 7 hours of doing fetch quests and going back and forth to solve every minor ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ inconvenience for everyone with a pulse, and you finally uncover the truth behind this entire system and place. Aliens. That's right. Aliens made a wager over whether humanity can go without sin for a year in this hellhole. So they tossed around a thousand silver coins onto Earth, and whoever possessed one at the moment of death would get transported into this experiment chamber known as *The Forgotten City*. This ♥♥♥♥ clearly doesn't work, so you and another ♥♥♥♥♥ named Al are the last two coin holders. If you both ♥♥♥♥ up, humanity is ♥♥♥♥♥♥. Oh, and Al killed himself at the start of the game, so now it's up to you to persuade this alien that he is wrong. I persuade him by threatening to kill his wife using the power of his wife (time travel), and instead of frying my soul to dust right then and there, he decides to let all of us go back to Earth. Like, I don't know how Pluto is this retarded. You have the technology to pull souls out of people into a fake afterlife. Surely you can zap my ass right then and there before I run a kilometer back to the starting point of the fast travel. So the basic message of the game is that God is a retarded alien and that there is no such thing as a single true moral system. Wonderful. This "game" is clearly made by people who think they have the whole world figured out and are very proud of themselves, and definitely not by retarded atheists. [b][i]Now imma drop a truth nuke on every atheist reading this. You are an atheist because you have done wrong in your life. You have, in fact, sinned, and instead of repenting and asking for forgiveness, you have decided to double down and make up ♥♥♥♥ about morality and sin not existing. This doubling down is rewarded with the praise of ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ and ♥♥♥♥♥♥ on Reddit, Discord, X, etc. However, this is all cope, because eventually you will pass on, but not into Heaven. You will go to Hell. What type of Hell is dependent on the religion your parents practiced and tried to pass on to you. But since you have a gigantic ego and think you are right all the time, you have decided to forsake not only your parents but your future kin and community. You are like Saint Peter, except you have forsaken your God at every opportunity you had, without thinking twice about it. The eternal reward for that retarded behavior is simply Hell. So no amount of coping and validation whoring online will help you. Your fate is already sealed. I can only hope that your future kin won't join you in your eternal suffering.[/i][/b] Anyway, my main problem with the story is that it's lame and gay. It takes a good premise, smashes it over the head with r/atheism, r/history, and every other morally wrong idea while trying to present them as correct. In this mortal world, you have committed one true wrong that every normal adult across the world, from every religion, can agree on. You wasted the time and money of everyone who tried to give your game a chance. [h3]Gameplay (1/5)[/h3] If you watch the game on YouTube, you've basically played the game. But don't even watch it, because there is nothing worthwhile to see. There are no major choices until the end, and even those choices are retarded. It is simply not a game, but the sad cries of someone who is to be damned. Very sad to see. [h3]Difficulty (1/5)[/h3] Walking sim. [h3]Game Time (1/5)[/h3] Wasted. [h3]Graphics (1/5)[/h3] Historically accurate California, not Rome. [h3]Music and Sound Design (1/5)[/h3] Why do they talk like that? Ah, that's right. Californians are inhuman. [h3]Performance (2/5)[/h3] Laggy-ass game. [h3]Price (1/5)[/h3] 24,99€? If you give even 1€ to this game, then you are willingly paying someone to waste the next 6-10 hours of your life. Just get a friend to keep choking you out if you want to waste that time. [h1][b]Final Verdict ([u]1/5[/u])[/b][/h1] Atheist made ♥♥♥♥. Not even a game, just ♥♥♥♥. As are all things that self proclaimed atheists make. Very sad behavior, and I pray that they improve in every aspect of their lives.

Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 623.75/day in the week to Jul 15 → 6/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Poland over the last 30 days: the 21 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 12 places towards #1, and the 2,501 moves with no price cut behind them went 1 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.

Просто взрыв головы, одно из лучших сюжетно ориентированных игр, знаю что это был просто мод на Скурим, но молодцы разработчики, что сделали как отдельную игру.
맵을 못외우겠어 누가 누군지 모르겠어 이름 얼굴 사연 전부 매칭 못시키겠어 맵이랑 집 주인만 표시해주면 좋겟어 호라티우스? 루크레티아? 게오르기우스? 옥타비아? 헷갈려 죽을거같애ㅐㅐㅐ 하지만 어느순간 길이 외워지고 누가 누군지 익숙해짐과 동시에 스토리 진행이 되면 그 순간 소름 쫙 돋으면서 게임이 급격히 재밌어짐

面白かった!
Llegué a él a través de las (benditas) recomendaciones de Steam, y aunque me daba miedo que fuera un poco chapas o que demasiado libre albedrío me hiciera perderme y desconectar, acabé comprándolo atraído por su premisa y estilo de juego, y por las opiniones que leí y vi. Ahora puedo decir que acerté de lleno. El bucle temporal está llevado de manera magistral, tiene un guionazo que no te lo acabas, y siempre, siempre, siempre estás progresando y descubriendo un trocito más de su interesantísima historia. Dice mucho de él que yo, que soy poco de rejugar, y en este tipo de propuestas con ramificaciones, me quedo satisfecho con la que me toca y la abrazo como canon, aquí no he parado hasta ver todos los finales.
Très bon jeu d'enquête à la Outer Wilds, sauce romaine. La base du gameplay est un jeu d'enquête avec du retour dans le temps, mais dans un Outer Wilds, où la gestion du temps est le facteur limitant d'une run, c'est ici les interactions avec les personnages qui font le reset de la run. Certains objets ne peuvent être obtenus qu'à la suite d'un enchainement de quête, qui mène inévitablement à un reset, mais vous revenez avec de nouveaux objets, nouvelles pistes, nouvelles quêtes, et nouvelles interactions avec les personnages. Les fins multiples se définissent par à quel point les choses vous avez avancés les choses dans les différentes quêtes, et à quel point les choses finissent bien pour vous et les autres personnages. La ville peut paraître légèrement déroutante au début, mais on prend vite le coup de la navigation, et l'on est pas pressé par le temps, donc on appréciera naviguer ses décors. Je conseille donc à ceux qui recherche une expérience scénaristique, avec un gameplay innovant, et bien réalisé compte tenu de la taille du studio.
Хорошая полу-детективная игра на пару вечеров. По скидке можно брать, за фулл прай все-таки дороговато.
Game's pretty short. I chose to have a gun (but the game refers to it as "flashlight" lol). I spawned in, kill the first guy I saw. There was another one coming so I shot him too and baam, credits roll.
Played the Skrim mod of this about a decade ago so I still remembered some of the core points of the story, but even from what I remember this is vastly different and I enjoyed every minute.
