Description




The Forgotten City is a mystery adventure game of exploration and deduction, and a re-imagining of the critically acclaimed mod that won a national Writers’ Guild award and racked up over 3 million downloads.

Travel 2,000 years into the past and relive the final days of a cursed Roman city, where if one person sins, everyone dies. Combat is an option, but violence will only get you so far. Only by questioning an intertwined community of colourful characters, cleverly exploiting the time loop, and making difficult moral choices can you hope to solve this epic mystery. Here, your decisions matter. The fate of the city is in your hands.


  • Explore an open-world ancient Roman city with historically authentic art, architecture, costumes and customs
  • Investigate a gripping, non-linear mystery with multiple endings
  • Become entwined in the lives of richly detailed, deeply interactive characters
  • Grapple with moral dilemmas which have life-and-death consequences
  • Play as whoever you want, by choosing your character’s gender, origin and backstory
  • Solve problems with reason, charm, bribery, intimidation, violence, or by cleverly exploiting the time-loop

Enjoyed the mod?

If you liked the mod, you’re going to love the stand-alone game. We've taken the best elements of the mod, re-written the script, which is now more than twice the length of the original at 80,000+ words, and added plenty of exciting new twists, endings, and surprises. Walk the streets of a brand new city. Get to know re-imagined characters. Solve challenging new puzzles with new gameplay mechanics, and enjoy an all-new orchestral score and professional voice acting. This is the story we always wanted to tell, for you to enjoy all over again - and again.

The Forgotten City may have evolved from a mod for an action RPG, but like the mod, this game is in a totally different genre. It’s a mystery adventure game, developed by a core team of three people. If you don’t go into this expecting a Triple-A action RPG, you’ll have a much better time!

Well worth trying

This game possesses one of the best story I have seen. Gameplay interesting and the graphics very good. One of the better games I've played on GOG.

Mind Blown...

This game is just amazing. Gripping story, plot twists and memerable characters. The voice acting and the music is just superb and fits the game perfectly. If you are in the mood for a cool mystery to solve, you need to buy this game.

Great game

Great plot, great characters and ambience. The action part is a bit meh but it's nice for a slight change of pace and it's not the point of the game anyway.

Fantastic indie game!

I never should have waited to play this, it is stellar. Basically a time loop game, but they have done what they could to not make it feel repetitive by letting you keep your inventory and your memory of conversations. It's pretty funny sending Galarius to do five tasks for you, then watching him spint from location to location in the background. The heart of the game is in the interaction with the characters, and love em or hate em (and you will hate some) it makes Ending 4 so satisfying, wrap-up wise. Graphics are decent, but there is some graphical jank on occasion. Unreal stutter too, but the tip I found on pcgamingwiki helped a lot. Remembering where everything is was my biggest problem, but of course, the more you play the easier that is. I like that people have a pseudo-schedule depending on time of day, and that conversations and events happen whether you are present or not. Some decent philisophical discussion as well!
