The Forgotten City Developers React to Multiple Speedruns

The Forgotten City started as a Skyrim mod, and is an adventure game filled with mystery, intrigue, and long, intricate conversations. So what does it look like when someone brute forces their way through it? It's pretty hilarious, it turns out. Watch along with developers Nick Pearce (Managing Director, Writer, Designer, Producer, Director), Alex Goss, (Technical Lead, Programmer) and John Eyre (Lead Artist, Environment and Character Art) as they watch their game get finished incredibly fast by speedrunner ShadowthePast.

Thanks again for reaching out to me! It was super enjoyable seeing the devs reactions, they were as surprised as I'd hoped they would be haha.

[@StressHaze]

You Are amazing dude.

[@basedplants]

If you enjoyed the high charisma runs in the original Fallout games, give this game a shot. There's very little combat, it's all about untangling the time loop mystery.

[@kingofmisogyny3659]

when he clapped galerius at the beginning lmao

[@reubenrules5429]

Absolutely loved this game, played it on game pass had no idea what it was, ended up loving it. Great job devs if you read this!

[@leokeyxleokeyx9570]

crazy that this game started out as a mod in skyrim
and it was one of the best mods out there

[@maroonkennedy6213]

Played this on Game Pass and fell in love with it. My GOTY for 2021 without a doubt!

[@voidify3]

There's also the Ending 4 No OOB and Ending 4 No Major Skips categories (WR 12 min and 18 min respectively) which might be interesting to have the devs watch because by their nature they have to do more story quests

[@KusunokiSG47]

The runner transformed The Forgotten City into Dishonored

[@faustlican5566]

Excellent work by the speedrunner!
Except for what they did to my boy Gallerius

[@SanjayShelat]

What a great video! Really enjoyed hearing the devs enjoy the speed run of a great game

[@ThousandairesClub]

*Forgotten City, Outer Wilds, Life Is Strange and Control are the most creative games I've played in the last 10 years* 👍

[@yeeyee2278]

Thank you gamepass for introducing me to this game

[@Dreamyblue101]

Awesome man

[@hitlerman2]

10:48 These guys work on a Roman themed game and don't acknowledge the Legate pun that was just uttered?!

[@JosieDrake1995]

I’m cracking up at the first speed run. Dude was like: I’m out of here!

[@mynamestim8117]

This game is an INCREDIBLE experience ❤️🔥

[@exvitermini]

This looks like a game you play when you want to play a game

[@VexJinks]

Now do a speedrun for the original Skyrim mod.

[@TheRealZenzes]

Can we have devs react to Qube 1 or 2?

[@teejay8472]

Easter Egg In Museum?

[@davidpavon9904]

Awesome❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

[@sethryan5974]

Can someone explain the Easter Egg if you've seen it?

[@h2oconnoisseur943]

The moon is centered above you.
It looks like there is a small rectangle glowing blue on the dark side of the moon.
Not sure what its a reference to.

[@nokorus6035]

@@h2oconnoisseur943 It's the place where you talk to "hades" (seeing when your in that aria it shows earth in the window behind him)

[@niallc223]

It looks like it might just be that the moon is "eclipsed" by the sun? If you stand directly below it and it's framed right then because of the design of the window it looks like an eclipse. Not sure if this is a reference to something or just incidental but maybe someone with some classical history knowledge could shed some light on that.
There is a noticeable large white pixel next to the moon though and despite zooming in with the photo mode it doesn't appear to resemble anything. Kinda wondering if that's maybe supposed to hint at the location of The White Hallway from the endgame conversation.

[@Lasershadow]

@@niallc223 So does that mean the entire Underworld was in fact a cavern on the moon?

[@LordHoward]

"feature, not a bug" these guys should just join bethesda at this point

[@VigilantBal]

One of the best games

[@chibi.k.o.3968]

Is this some skyrim mod? Those dialogues definitely look like bethesda.

[@Thomas_B_Killen]

The devs made a Skryim mod years ago and won an award for writing. They plucked the general story from that and made their own game.

[@itsinevitable9042]

@@Thomas_B_Killen I’ve always wondered bcs the forgotten city quest mod on Skyrim was somewhat familiar to this, I’ve imagined that it might’ve been them.

[@Juni0r7070]

only bad thing about this game is it's way too short

[@alphahawk325]

Then not understanding the concept of different categories for different classes was hilarious 😊

[@nwgverified]

goty

[@Mitsurugi2424]

that weird line in the hand is almost as distracting as the trigger discipline...

[@alphahawk325]

Naive developers nothing is ever truly fixed you are just delaying the inevitable

POG!
