Details about The Forgotten City
From developer Modern Storyteller comes a game based on a popular mod, The Forgotten City.
Players will travel 2,000 years into the past and relive the final days of an ancient Roman city. In this place, if one person commits a sin, everyone in the city will perish. Now stuck in a time loop, players must begin to investigate what is happening, with the mysteries behind the city achievable in a non-linear fashion. You can solve problems through bribery, charm and reason, or simply use violence in some sections. You can even exploit the time loop for the desired outcome, but your choices will have consequences so be careful.
The Forgotten City is a re-imagining of the critically acclaimed mod for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim that won a national Writers’ Guild award and racked up over 3 million downloads. The Forgotten City will be available for the PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series S and X, and the Nintendo Switch.
