The Forgotten City

剧情推动，多线叙事，循环题材，优质独游

A really good game! It doesn't seem like much at first glance, but there is a great story hidden beneath the janky first impression. You're stuck in a time loop in what seems to be a small Roman village, and someone is about to commit a sin that will kill everyone there, you included. You need to prevent this from happening. Nobody has found a way to escape this place. You'll meet 23 characters, they're all well written and voice acted. The mood, music, architecture, etc fit the Roman setting perfectly. It also teaches you a ton of accurate history, especially different religions from the time and their gods. The gameplay is mostly figuring out everyone's motives and problems, so that you can come up with some kind of an idea of what is happening. Tons of dialogue is ahead of you. It's no Planescape: Torment where you could end up conversing with characters for an extreme length of time, but there are deep subjects and depth with certain characters. For some reason this was recommended to me in a bundle with Pathologic 2 (which I already have played a long time ago), and I can see the resemblance at times, especially in the way that the characters are telling lies and you need to think for yourself. Can't believe everything. People also remember what you've said and done so you have to think what you're clicking in dialogues. It is way easier and more chill than Pathologic, but the fans of that series will find a lot to love here for sure.

Bien

nice

Ce jeu faisait partie d'un bundle, le seul que je ne connaissais pas, je n'en attendais pas grand chose. Une claque. Le jeu déborde d'humilité et de gentillesse mais il ne se retient pas de nous écraser de panoramas majestueux avant de nous tendre la main avec des personnages très gris qui donnent envie d'en apprendre toujours d'avantage. Attention, les atterrissages douloureux sont légion, sauvegardez souvent et faites attentions à où vous mettez les pieds. Même si vous êtes pressés.

Really good.
