I’m not sure what Armaan is working on next but this game at least confirms his reputation as talented story teller and game developer and I cannot wait to see what he does next. It was a real shame when I finished as I really wanted to spend more time with these characters. While I love games about conspiracies and battling villains sometimes it’s nice to chill out with some nice people and reminisce about old times and look forward to the future. Visit old friends, relive memories and experience bursts of inspiration in this nostalgic game about the passage of time. This game took me close to four hours to complete and it was time well spent. Forgotten Fields is a game about a struggling author who travels back to his childhood home one last time before it's sold off. There is a lot of reminiscing and the conversations sound natural and real. While there isn’t a huge amount of drama, this can really relate with people especially those who are heading into their thirties and forties and beyond. All I’ll say is that this game deals with growing up, looking back at the past with nostalgia and moving on with our life. I have intentionally not mentioned the story much as the joy is discovering it yourself. In that beach scene mentioned above, the sound of the waves and the seagulls really make you feel like you are really there and there is a wonderful variety of music from traditional Indian music to catchy Pop tunes that really fit the story. I would be remiss not to mention the wonderful sound and music in this game. Meanwhile in the Fantasy section there is a thankfully easy stealth sequence but that’s as challenging as the sections will get. Both of these options are viable and realistic and help to reduce frustration as well. For example in one section you need to throw rocks at a football caught in a tree but if it becomes too difficult you can always use a ladder. Instead the puzzles fit naturally into the game and help tell the story. That’s not to say there aren’t any puzzles. If there had been traditional inventory or logic puzzles this would probably have taken the player out of the game considering it is going for realism. Here he’ll have to come face to face with his old memories and seek out inspiration in his past.In terms of gameplay there aren’t many traditional puzzles but in this instance this serves to help the game rather than hinder it. He is reluctant to go but musters up the courage to fulfill his family obligations. Youre a wasteland wanderer: a mutant, a seeker, a robot-killer, a stoic shaman guarding forgotten ancient sciences. Take part in Sid's creative process as you play through a parallel story set in a fantasy world - right out of the book that Sid is attempting to write. His mother has invited Sid to a small party back at the house he grew up in. Triumph & Technology Won by Mutants & Magic Youre no zero. Features: A warm, slice-of-life narrative about nostalgia, appreciating the present, and the passage of time by the developer that brought you Rainswept. If he can’t come up with a good story by the end of the day, our protagonist will have nothing to show for all his work. A nasty case of writer’s block is hurting Sid’s chances to earn a much-needed book grant. The story has you play as Sid, a writer struggling for inspiration.
