To put it frankly, the writing, voice-acting, and storytelling in The Forgotten City was better than in the rest of Skyrim. It’s an absolute triumph that a Skyrim mod could reach 3,000,000 downloads, let alone win a national award for the quality of its writing, but 2015 mod The Forgotten City did both. Only by cleverly exploiting the time loop and making difficult moral choices can you hope to solve this epic mystery. The original Forgotten City was an Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim mod that released in 2015 and quickly made its way to most must-download mod lists for Skyrim, eventually racking up over 3 million downloads. As a time-traveller drawn two thousand years into the past, you’ll relive their final moments in an endless loop, exploring and interrogating, and changing the course of the day with each secret you uncover.
In this precarious utopia, if one person breaks the mysterious Golden Rule, everyone dies. Trapped in a secret underground city during the Roman Empire, twenty-three lost souls cling to life. The Forgotten City already has a Steam page featuring its system requirements and the game's detailed feature set. ‘It’s the story we always wanted to tell: an engrossing, poignant mystery that players can enjoy again, and again, and again.’ ‘Having The Forgotten City on next-gen consoles is an absolute dream,’ says Nick Pearce, founder of Modern Storyteller.
