You wake up on a striking beach with no memory and only mysterious messages floating around telling you about a traveler.
Unsure who you are yourself, you must sail around and find more of these messages in Forgotten Sea.
Forgotten Sea is a stunning adventure game where you play as a young adult navigating the open water. The seas are dotted with islands you can explore in hopes of figuring out what happened to both you and the traveler that’s been sending out bottled messages. This world isn’t exactly normal, either, as there are portals that you also need to travel through. These portals take you to different times and seasons, giving you a new place to explore.
I got to play a bit of Forgotten Sea at GAMAYO this year and I really enjoyed the look and feel of the game. Despite there being a set story, the world is quite open, meaning you can spend some time just sailing around, enjoying the detail and look of the visuals. Not only are you a lost sailor, but you are also looking for someone else who has been forgotten out on the sea.
Forgotten Sea aims to work like a book, with you slowly discovering the story and reflecting on what is going on, touching on the balance of life, adventure, home, and family. This game is something completely different for the development team BetaJester, which is really refreshing to see, as I feel this might just be their best game yet.
Forgotten Sea is currently in development, but in the meantime, you can follow its creation on the game’s site.
