Oh yeah, I vaguely remember this.
Is it any good? Honestly looks like a mod to another game.
GmanLives did a review of this 9 years ago I guess.
I just added it to my library, so haven't played it yet. Hopefully someone else can chime in about its qualities/pros/cons.
I just farted around with it for about 15 minutes and the narrative seems interesting and the setting is genuinely fascinating, but it plays like an amateur mod from a decade ago.
The black and white with red color scheme is a detriment to immersiveness and everything about this feels like a "generic, stock Unreal Engine 3" game. Down to the having to modify the same exact settings as every other UE3 game to get it to run past 62fps. None of it feels good or polished and there are better sort of unique single player experiences like this out there. It's not fun, it's not particularly engaging and it doesn't feel good. Obviously, it has come out years after this game, but The Forgotten City is a much, much better executed one of these.
I'm sure somebody would appreciate this, it seems to have a very favorable score on Steam, but it's not for me.
