humor2 positive mentions
atmosphere3 negative mentions
  • Strong and creepy atmosphere set in an old American household with effective subtle horror and psychological depth.
  • Interesting and varied anomalies including a noteworthy Backrooms-inspired detour that adds fresh gameplay and exploration.
  • Concise, well-focused experience with solid storytelling through environmental cues and a relatable theme centered around dementia.
  • Short gameplay duration with limited replay value and minimal mechanical variety; some players may find it too brief or lacking in content.
  • Certain gameplay segments like the door-guessing loop can be tedious and frustrating due to restart penalties and repetitive anomalies.
  • Jump scares are sparse and sometimes predictable, and some chase sequences are seen as pointless or not very frightening.

  • story

    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    38% positive mentions, 24% neutral mentions, 38% negative mentions

    The story is subtly conveyed through environmental clues and implication, inviting players to piece together a poignant and somewhat ambiguous narrative. While some find it haunting and emotionally impactful, others find it confusing, noting that a clearer delivery and more tension-building elements could enhance the experience. Overall, it offers a meaningful, if understated, story that adds depth to the gameplay.

    • “The story is not delivered through explicit exposition but through implication, environmental cues, and repetition, leaving players to interpret what is really happening.”
    • “Once you get to the ending and explore the ending area, you understand the story and realize how sad and real it actually is.”
    • “There's actually a mini story that explains why things get so jumbled up at times and is actually a sort of sweet awareness message.”
    • “If it had more storytelling, a better ending, and a system for anomalies to build up tension, this game would be 10/10.”
    • “For the life of me, I cannot understand the story to this game. Does grandpa have Alzheimer's and killed his daughter?”
    • “As you play, you come to realize there is a story here.”

  • gameplay

    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    38% positive mentions, 24% neutral mentions, 38% negative mentions

    The gameplay centers on spotting subtle anomalies in a repeating environment, providing a restrained but engaging experience that keeps players attentive. An additional adventurous escape-room segment adds variety, though overall the game is brief (60-90 minutes) and mechanically limited, mostly involving exploration without much interaction.

    • “The gameplay itself is fine and the loop of spotting differences in the room isn't too hard, with a decent amount of changes to keep the loop engaging even after resets.”
    • “There is an extra location inspired by the Backrooms that shifts gameplay from 'find the anomaly' to adventure/escape room style, offering a fun change of pace.”
    • “Subtle visual changes form the backbone of the gameplay, and the restrained design keeps players attentive at all times.”
    • “The main limitation of Forgot is its brevity and lack of mechanical variety.”
    • “About 60 - 90 mins gameplay.”
    • “It seems like they have just made the game a huge maze where all you do is walk around and try and get out to avoid doing the extra work to make it a more interactive gameplay.”

  • atmosphere

    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    40% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 60% negative mentions

    The game excels at creating a creepy, unsettling atmosphere within a small, intimate setting of an old American household. Its haunting mood and genuine scares linger in the mind, delivering a memorable experience despite its short length. The atmosphere is both eerie and engaging, enhanced by hidden secrets that reward exploration.

    • “Some genuine scares, laughs and a wonderful atmosphere for the small game it is (although if you're brave enough to explore, there's a whole other game hidden inside the house).”
    • “It captures the creepy atmosphere of being in an old American household with a grandfather and grandmother who are possessed and evil.”
    • “It trades scale and complexity for atmosphere and interpretation, offering a short experience that lingers in the mind longer than expected.”
    • “Creepy atmosphere, scary women, sweaty palms, clenched buttcheeks.”

  • humor

    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    100% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    Users find the game's humor to be well-crafted and reflective of the developer's strong sense of humor, especially combined with horror elements. However, some feel the in-game humor is less frequent than what is showcased in external clips.

    • “This was really good, the dev obviously has a good sense of humor and horror.”

  • graphics

    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    50% positive mentions, 50% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The graphics are well-crafted and visually appealing, enhancing the overall experience. However, limited interactivity within the game somewhat diminishes immersion despite the quality visuals.

  • grinding

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    Users find the grinding aspect to be prolonged and somewhat tedious, suggesting it could benefit from being shorter and less repetitive.

  • music

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 100% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The music creates a steady sense of unease by using ambient noise and occasional silence, avoiding constant musical cues to enhance the atmosphere.
