[b]Un'avventura davvero sorprendente.[/b] The Forgotten City è uno di quei giochi che riescono a fare molto con relativamente poco. Parte come una semplice avventura misteriosa, ma poco alla volta costruisce una storia sempre più interessante, fatta di esplorazione, dialoghi, enigmi e soprattutto scelte. La vera forza del gioco è il suo sistema narrativo: ogni informazione che scopri può cambiare completamente il modo in cui interpreti ciò che sta succedendo. [spoiler]Il loop temporale non è solo un espediente narrativo, ma diventa parte integrante degli enigmi e della progressione.[/spoiler] Gli enigmi sono ben inseriti nella storia e generalmente soddisfacenti da risolvere, anche se forse risultano un po' troppo intuitivi. Spesso gli indizi portano abbastanza rapidamente alla soluzione e questo, per chi cerca una vera sfida, può far perdere un po' quella sensazione di soddisfazione che si prova quando si riesce a risolvere qualcosa di davvero complesso. La città è piccola ma piena di dettagli e personaggi con cui interagire, e la scrittura riesce a mantenere alta la curiosità fino alla fine. Tecnicamente non è un gioco impressionante e alcune animazioni mostrano i suoi limiti, ma passano in secondo piano rispetto alla qualità della storia e dell'idea alla base. [b]Consigliatissimo a chi ama giochi narrativi, misteri, esplorazione ed enigmi.[/b]

Every market we collect.
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 · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 24 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 9 places towards #1, and the 2,419 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.

很有趣,但是對路痴來說一開始真的是迷路迷到頭昏眼花 觸發黃金法則後一直找不到回傳送門的路… 冒險的部分不會太難 每個角色的支線任務環環相扣 一開始會有點茫茫然,多死幾次就熟悉了 [spoiler] 攻略說結局三可以先讓加列里烏斯幫忙做支線任務 當選行政官放出杜利後再叫他遇到地震召集所有人可達成三的完美結局 但是我開頭叫他做支線任務當選行政官後 沒有找到叫他召集所有人的選項,不知道是不是我哪裡漏掉了 [/spoiler]
Душное скучное линейное тупое гавно
Good time
Has an incredible story and a fascinating mystery to uncover. The time-loop mechanic is brilliantly used, and every new loop gives you more information to piece everything together. The exploration, characters and atmosphere make it really hard to put down. One of those games I wish I could experience again for the first time.
Fantastic investigation game, the story is very engaging. It has multiple endings, which is always nice.
Incredible
玩得过程中我时不时就会起鸡皮疙瘩,尤其到了后期,各种线索逐渐拼合出轮廓勾勒出玩家意料之外的剧情,很震撼。十分推荐购买。
joyita, muy divertido y sencillo
Rarely do I find myself writing a review of a game. In this case I had to. Among the most grasping games you can play for the story, putting the giant of Bethesda to it's knees in shame! No game they have made has been close to what this offers, so I truly wish that in the future the developers and writers here will make a fully fledged RPG in the future. The Forgotten City is an all times classic! Thank you for this wonderful game which truly catches the RPG essence.
