By 游信鉴赏家 January 10, 2022

“《遗忘之城》原本只是《上古卷轴V：天际》中的一款热门MOD，后由负责其开发工作的民间制作组翻新打造，最终以一款独立游戏的姿态重新问世。游戏为玩家构建了一个处于时间循环当中的古罗马城市，这座城市的十多位居民都被一条名为“黄金法则”的规则所困扰，而玩家所扮演的一名从现代穿越而来的神秘人，必须要巧妙地利用时间循环的规律，在解开“黄金法则”秘密的同时，尽可能地拯救城市中的居民。玩吧，不会后悔的。”

About This Game



Travel 2,000 years into the past and relive the final days of a cursed Roman city, where if one person sins, everyone dies. Combat is an option, but violence will only get you so far. Only by questioning an intertwined community of colourful characters, cleverly exploiting the time loop, and making difficult moral choices can you hope to solve this epic mystery. Here, your decisions matter. The fate of the city is in your hands.


  • Explore an open-world ancient Roman city with historically authentic art, architecture, costumes and customs
  • Investigate a gripping, non-linear mystery with multiple endings
  • Become entwined in the lives of richly detailed, deeply interactive characters
  • Grapple with moral dilemmas which have life-and-death consequences
  • Play as whoever you want, by choosing your character’s gender, origin and backstory
  • Solve problems with reason, charm, bribery, intimidation, violence, or by cleverly exploiting the time-loop
