About The Forgotten City
Travel 2,000 years back to the final days of a cursed Roman city, where a single sin condemns everyone. The game blends open‑world exploration with a looping timeline that lets you revisit events until the mystery is solved.
Historically authentic art, architecture, costumes and customs fill the city, while you can choose any gender, origin and backstory. Decisions—through dialogue, bribery, intimidation, or limited combat—shape multiple endings and the fate of the whole community.
01 / THE GUIDE
Time Loop Mechanics
You arrive 2,000 years in the past and repeatedly relive the city’s final days, each loop revealing cause‑and‑effect.
Knowledge carries over between loops, so you can test theories, compare outcomes, and slowly assemble the full mystery.
- Track key events after each loop.
- Prioritize dialogue clues before combat.
02 / THE GUIDE
Moral Dilemmas
The curse states that a single sin condemns the whole city, so every moral choice carries heavy weight and violence only goes so far.
Several endings exist, each shaped by the aggregate effect of your actions, rewarding thoughtful solutions as often as harsher ones.
- Weigh long‑term consequences before acting.
- Explore diplomatic options early.
03 / THE GUIDE
Character Creation
Before entering the city you select gender, origin and backstory, allowing you to play as any character you prefer.
These choices may affect how NPCs address you, providing subtle role‑playing flavor without granting explicit new powers.
- Try different origins for varied dialogue tones.
- Use backstory to guide investigative approach.
04 / THE GUIDE
Open‑World Exploration

Exploration is non‑linear; hidden clues appear in streets, markets and temples, rewarding careful observation over forced progression.
- Examine architectural details for hidden hints.
- Map key character locations for efficient revisits.
