Skip it if you…

- Players seeking an open-ended game with broad systems may find the experience centered on Sid’s particular story.
Our take on Forgotten Fields
The setup puts Sid’s grant deadline alongside a family farewell, but the described play centers on conversations, memories, and a parallel fantasy story. The urgent deadline frames the narrative rather than signaling a deadline-driven or writing-management game.
What is Forgotten Fields?
Sid is a writer facing a same-day grant deadline and a lack of inspiration when his mother asks him to return to the home where he grew up before it is sold.
The game follows his Sunday visit as he talks with old friends, revisits memories, runs through fields, and swims in the ocean. Alongside this homecoming, players take part in Sid’s writing process through sections set in a fantasy world from his book. Puzzles are part of the story, which centers on nostalgia, the passage of time, and appreciating the present. The experience combines a slice-of-life narrative with a parallel fictional story and a cast of characters with shared histories.
