SUMMARY

The Forgotten City is the first mod in history to win a national Writers' Guild award with its script. It is a critically acclaimed expansion mod offering a unique 6 - 8 hour experience: a murder mystery investigation set in an ancient underground city. You'll need to solve it using your wits, and the ability to travel through time. It has a dark, non-linear story in which you'll interrogate suspects, explore the city and its many secrets, and navigate challenging moral dilemmas. It features multiple endings, an original orchestral score, and professionally voiced dialogue.



PLEASE NOTE: A remastered version is available for Skyrim Special Edition here!



PRAISE FOR THE FORGOTTEN CITY

"The story here is, no doubt, the best of any Skyrim mod. It's so good, that it really reminds me of Blockbuster movies like Inception, Interstellar, and especially Edge of Tomorrow, and it's so cinematic as well, especially the custom composed soundtrack."

MxR, Skyrim Mods Weekly

"Amazing... it's a super dynamic story... how the mod utilizes paradoxes and time loops is fantastic... one of the most thrilling quests we've ever played..."

“The production values, for a mod, are completely ridiculous... The Forgotten City is a pretty big deal.”

“An incredibly polished & insanely well done Skyrim mod. You owe it to yourself to check it out.”

"Finishing the game was a bittersweet moment... brought true joy to my heart. I’ll even go as far as saying I teared up a bit."

“This mod is the best quest and new land mod I’ve downloaded since I started covering Skyrim mods. I mean it."

“Looks pretty sweet!”

“An undeniably impressive undertaking.”
