The Forgotten City has a pretty exciting premise. Players must relive the final moments of a doomed city, over and over again like a Greek Bill Murray. While there is combat in the game, players must also use their wits to make different choices, pushing the narrative away from mass destruction and towards mutual salvation for all involved. Check out this trailer for a better idea:
"We’re delighted to be releasing the game after more than four years of development by a core team of three hard-working devs," says Nick Pearce, founder of Modern Storyteller. "We hope it finds its audience: gamers whose intelligence and time deserve respect, who enjoy the challenge of unravelling a mystery on their own, and who understand that a great story doesn't need to rely on combat to make hearts race and soar." Sounds right up my alley.
The Forgotten City is scheduled to release on PC, PS4, PS5, and all the Xboxes on July 28, 2021, with a Switch version scheduled for later this year.
