  Developer here: Thanks for the kind words and interest Mark! Even I learnt something about how TFC works while watching this! :-P

  The key to being the most innovative game of the year is to be a detective game

  Hovering over that 3 minute mark in a cold-sweat debate if my insane interest from the pitch and wanting to experience the game unspoiled can overcome how much I love listening to Mark talk about games he really likes. Agony

  Me: &quot;Why does this game almost look like Skyrim haha&quot;<br>Mark, 10 seconds later: &quot;This is actually a shiny remake of an old Skyrim mod&quot;<br><br>Floored. Just floored.

  One thing I love about detective time loop games like this and others like The Outer Wilds is that „oh yeah, it‘s all coming together“ moment towards the end when all the puzzle pieces click together to form an epic conclusion

  One of my favourite things about The Forgotten City , is the way it slowly makes you think like Sentius. It&apos;s alright to steal this, I&apos;ll get another go.

  The greatest thing of this game is the &quot;auto-follow&quot; NPCs, such a simple yet amazing function

  Me: I... feel like I know this premise...<br>Mark: &quot;It was originally a Skyrim Mod.&quot;<br>Me: YES! I REMEMBER THAT MOD!<br><br>Was my favorite mod in Skyrim. Such a fun and engaging story.

  This game is made by a guy and a few others that helped him. It was started as a passion project, a skyrim mod that become a true and brilliant experience. Im disappointed this game don&apos;t get any awards. you can feel the care put in in this game.

  The perfection of voice acting in this game is mindblowing, every character has their charisma, humour and cleverness at the max

  This game really shocked me when I first played, in more ways than one lol<br><br>During the very first conversation with Sentius, a family member of mine randomly stopped by to visit. I&apos;m not the type to have a guest wait for me to finish my game, so I just left the game sitting with Sentius staring at me on his balcony. A few hours later, I come back to find Sentius gone, my character just standing there on the balcony all alone like a chump, and the entire game world having gone to hell in a handbasket while I wasn&apos;t looking.<br><br>Found out later, the game continues progressing the timer even when you are in conversation with characters and will forcefully stop your conversations with characters sometimes. So, of course, the Golden Rule was eventually triggered as always. I&apos;m just surprised my character wasn&apos;t killed by the Furies. I&apos;m guessing Sentius&apos;s balcony is a safe zone or something? If only the poor underground philosopher guy had known about that lol
