[jacob geller is poisoning my brain again][mild spoilers for The Forgotten City]

The Forgotten City is a game where you fall into a set of underground ruins, and go back in time to when they were still populated

a Roman utopia living under the pressure of a terrifying apocalyptic power beyond comprehension

but as you explore, you find another, different city buried underneath it

which fell to the same rules that the city above still live in terror of

and there's another city under that one, killed by the same rules

and the thing that elevates this premise to wild

is that The Forgotten City is not just a 2021 video game

it's also an old Skyrim mod

Holy fuck

with a similar premise but set in the skyrim world

a city under threat by the same apocalyptic system

abandoned by time

and buried

underneath a new game
