Forgotten Fields Reviews

Good idea and the music is great but the gameplay simply does not work as well as the writing. I did not enjoy the first half hour of the game and let's be honest, with such a title you have like the attention of the first 15-30 minutes of the player to convince him that the game is worth the time. Not for me. Controls are confusing. UI is unclear and dialogues, writing is not engaging. Less is more.

Forgotten Fields is a very good adventure game with a beautiful story, some nice designs and a relaxing ambiant. I highly recommend it!!! 💗💗💗

[h3]Could have been a Postcard[/h3] A pretty postcard mind you, but 3 hours later all of the really good scenes are spoiled by a rather flat ending. A lot of this game feels incomplete, because it has it's moments where either the story is interesting, or the graphics are telling the story very well. And that's why I don't think Forgotten Fields lives up to it's name, it's a story about memories, but it's also a story about futures. It just cannot make it's mind up what it is. Forgotten fields has a nice soundtrack mind you, but game sound effects were zero budget. [h3]Minor issues[/h3] As game mechanics go, it's very simple, not un-intuitive, but it never does anything with the game mechanics beyond the simple WASD and Q to jump. The character often gets stuck trying to navigate past furniture, sometimes placed un-necessarily. Some accomodations for this do exist, but I had to save and restart the game 3 times when the mouse just stopped responding at various points. [h3]Cool Moments[/h3] There are many cool areas in the game and fun parts, at least one of them which had me asking, [i]that's cool but what was the purpose of adding that to the game[/i]? Which is the reason I say the game feels unfinished, some really nice parts to the game, and some parts that feel they got rushed. The game lacks story arc, it tries to create one by having this underlying story inside the story, but since their arcs do not mirror at all, it merely confuses the player. 3 hours of clicking through dialog that would take 4 hours to read, basically destroyed all immersion the game could have had. If you did like this review, and liked the far better game they wrote called Rainswept, go play that instead. But if you already enjoyed Rainswept, then check out one of these games https://store.steampowered.com/curator/41773079-EmpathyGames/list/90678
