Imagine a place where literally everything that gets lost ends up — old toys, random letters, that one missing sock you never found. That’s the Forgotten Lands, this magical world filled with creatures called forgotlings. They’re made from lost objects, and all they really want is to be remembered again. It’s kinda sad, but also really cool. In Forgotlings, you play as Fig, a once-forgotten posing doll who’s now the captain of a living lightship called Volare. Yeah, the ship is alive. As dark forces start rising and old conflicts between tribes begin tearing the world apart, it’s on you to fly across huge skies and broken cities to bring everyone back together before everything falls apart. The whole game looks like you’re playing inside an animated movie. It’s packed with thousands of hand-drawn, frame-by-frame animations and super detailed environments that make the world feel alive. Every scene just hits different. You may also be interested link the game Aerial_Knight's DropShot
Gameplay-wise, you’re not just swinging a sword the whole time — even though you can. There’s hack-and-slash combat if you want to go all in, but you can also sneak around and hit enemies strategically. On top of that, you can actually talk things out and convince forgotlings to join your side. There’s even a board game called INA that you use to settle conflicts. It’s inspired by chess and Go, so it’s strategic, but it’s also part of the story and world-building. You travel across the Forgotten Lands on Volare and meet five different tribes, each with their own vibe and beliefs. Videra are knowledge-obsessed scholars trying to understand everything about the world. Aufero are engineers who care about progress and tech, sometimes more than tradition. Servus are all about helping and protecting others. Sonavi are explorers mapping out every corner of the land. And Karus are these mysterious, spiritual types trying to connect with the anima stream — basically the life force of the world. Then you’ve got bandits and outliers who don’t follow any tribe, just doing their own thing. And somewhere out there is The Beast, this unknown force that’s threatening the entire world.
Your choices actually matter too. The way you talk to people and handle situations shapes Fig’s relationships and can change how things play out. There’s full voice acting and a powerful soundtrack featuring the choir ensemble Theatre of Voices, which makes the emotional moments hit even harder. The game was developed over five years by indie studio Throughline Games, building on what they started with Forgotton Anne. It was even backed by fans through Kickstarter, which makes it feel like a passion project made with real love. Honestly, it’s one of those games that mixes action, strategy, and emotional storytelling into something that actually sticks with you.
