Reviews

“The Nameless City is a captivating experience. The architecture of the ruins feels very alien and ancient, and the sound design and voice over are excellent. You get the feeling that you’re trespassing in a place that was never meant to be seen with human eyes. Highly recommended.”
Alpha Beta Gamer

“That was incredible. I loved how it’s driven by your curiosity. It understood that Lovecraftian horror isn’t about creatures with tentacles coming out of their face, it’s about the fear of knowledge. Knowledge that fundamentally changes our entire perception of reality and our place in it in a way that completely shatters our mind once we make this revelation.”
The Librarian

“This is awesome. And definetily one of the best adaptations of a Lovecraft story into a game. People who made this game understood Lovecraft and what the stories are about and what makes them creepy.”
Midnight Mothman

About This Game

The story

“There were myriads of good reasons for shunning the nameless city, one for each strange tale passed from generation to generation.

Tales averted people from entering the city, even from getting closer to its walls, and legends say that it was older than the eldest of the pyramids; few say it was older than humanity itself. But there was no legend so old as to give it a name.”

The game

The Nameless City is a narrative-driven first person adventure inspired by Lovecraft's short novel of the same name. It has lo-fi 3D graphics inspired by the PSX era and uses AI generated images to convey concepts alien to the human mind.

A playthrough should take about 50 minutes. The game has some light puzzle elements, but the main focus of the game is exploring the ruins of the ancient city. You can save your progress and continue later, but it's recommended to play it in one sitting.

AI Generated Content Disclosure

The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

Generative AI tools has been used to create surreal videos and images. The "vision" videos and some mural images has been generated using this tools to convey concepts alien to the human mind.
