You're more than welcome to take this approach, but the lengthy chats are what wowed us most about The Forgotten City. Refreshingly, though, this is paired with real freedom to follow leads as you like.Īside from those excellent conversations, you can take another approach and just run around every nook and cranny searching out clues. As each day progresses, characters move around and chat to each other, so sometimes simply following someone around might uncover details you didn't know you were missing.Īt times it can feel a bit like participating in some immersive theatre, or something like a Secret Cinema show, as actors move around on schedules, and you just try to be in the right place at the right time. Other times, you'll make a breakthrough that helps you untie a few more leads with other people, and it all comes together into a nice web of objectives.
Some of the time, you'll make a mistep in conversation and piss them off, abandoning them until your next loop. You'll spend a lot of your time chatting to strangers, figuring them out and helping them with problems they've got.
The real pleasure of The Forgotten City is two-pronged. So, if you find a key ingredient that someone needs to make a cure for another character, you don't have to worry about finding it again on each run. Each time you loop back, everyone around you forgets who you are, letting you work some details out then cut to the chase next time you meet them, and it sets up your problem-solving nicely, with a particular shortcut being that anything you pick up is persistent.
