Friends of Temporal Loops, The Forgotten City is available on Switch Cloud

After Control, Hitman 3 and before the galaxy guards, The Forgotten City is added to the list of games available on Switch by the magic of the cloud, and this from today.

Even though the Narrative Adventure game of Modern Storyteller is not as ambitious technically as the other Switch games that resorted to the cloud, so it s under this format that can now be found one of the very good surprise last summer. In a year under the sign of temporal loops ( Gnosia , 12 minutes , Deathloop ), The Forgotten City is maybe the one who gets the best pin Game in the way it takes ownership of this mechanics in a narrative level. The player embodies to a reminder a character of the 21st century transported despite himself in a city of the Roman Empire cut off from the rest of the world.

Here, he will learn to discover a small community of about twenty inhabitants from different horizons and who live under the yoke of terrifying golden rule. This one wants the gods to inflict the ultimate punishment to all the inhabitants if only one of them commits the slightest crime. Luckily, the player will have the opportunity to start the same day again and again and cleverly exploiting the temporal loop to learn little by little the secrets of the inhabitants and the truth behind the nature of this community, the golden rule And of course the temporal loop.

Not especially impressive technically (unfortunate facial animations do not honor the characters and comedians), on the other hand, on the other hand, the qualities of writing to assert and a beautiful atmopshère thanks to the music of Michael Allen. Despite a few action-oriented passages (put forward in this trailer to attract attention), the game is addressed primarily for survey lovers and narrative games. Translated into French, The Forgotten City is sold 30 euros on the eshop. Players can download a demo beforehand to verify that their internet connection allows you to play correctly via the cloud.
