Our take on Tales of the Forgotten
Its defining structure is a three-part ghost anthology: each brief first-person episode transforms an ordinary location into a horror scenario and offers multiple endings to uncover.
What is Tales of the Forgotten?
Tales of the Forgotten is a first-person horror walking simulator presented as a PSX-style anthology.
It contains three short stories set in familiar places: a newly purchased house troubled by a presence, a laundromat where a ghost seeks assistance, and a night-shift sales office inhabited by several spirits. Each chapter includes multiple endings to discover and unlock. The game uses jump scares and unsettling encounters as its primary horror elements. Its total playthrough lasts 45–60 minutes, making the experience a compact collection of connected-by-theme ghost scenarios rather than a long campaign. The three stories are titled Mirror, Mirror; Laundry Night; and Unfinished Business.
