There’s a brand new gameplay trailer out for The Forgotten City, the game that began life as an award-winning Skyrim mod. It’s set in a cursed historic Roman metropolis the place if one individual sins, everybody dies. It’s a Groundhog Day form of situation the place it’s important to determine the town’s mysteries so as to break a time loop. In this new preview of one of many game’s quests, we get an ideal have a look at how far The Forgotten City has come since its Skyrim days, and dare I say it appears higher than Skyrim ever might.
We begin this quest by being beamed via some type of portal, solely to reach on the opposite facet being instructed off by a stranger who’s aggravated we have been inside his sacred shrine. From the sounds of it it is a mission on the very begin of the game – there’s plenty of dialogue and exposition with some actually beautiful backdrops. Actually, what am I on about? This is a time loop game, actually any level of it may very well be the start.
The music and surroundings is so peaceable, I suppose as you may count on from a metropolis with no sin. Well, no less than, there’s no sin till you come alongside. It all will get a bit scary when the participant character goes to nick one thing, and an evil booming voice begins operating its mouth and abruptly everybody’s a gold zombie. It appears sensible.
Last 12 months, Katharine had a chance to chat to The Forgotten City’s creator, Nick Pearce, at PAX East, and regardless of the game being removed from launch at that time, he was already fascinated by what may come subsequent:
“After the game’s finished, I’d really love to be able to just empty all this stuff out of my brain and get some inspiration from something new. I don’t want to give too much away, [but] there is definitely potential for a sequel. If you get the best ending, it could lead naturally to a second game. But it really depends on what kind of feedback we get. If people want more of this then we’ll do it. If they just want a new, crazy big story, then that’s what we’ll do.”
The Forgotten City launches on Steam this winter. If you’re interested in the place it began, you may obtain the unique mod over on Nexus Mods.
