SUMMARY

The Forgotten City is an award-winning, 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.

PRAISE FOR THE FORGOTTEN CITY

Winner - Australian Writers' Guild Award 2016 (Interactive Media)

“Undeniably impressive.” PC Gamer

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

Voted FILE OF THE MONTH on Skyrim Nexus for October 2015!



5 stars (out of 5) on Steam Workshop



"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 Mods



"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..." Brodual



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



"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." Giga Geek Magazine



“Looks pretty sweet!” BioWare Creative Director, Mike Laidlaw
