Forgotten Fields Review
Saying goodbye to the past is a difficult thing to do.
50%Forgotten Fields: Magic Realism At Its Finest – PC Review
Forgotten Fields is a beautiful game that tells a heartwarming and painfully relatable narrative. While its gameplay can be shallow, and there were numerous visual bugs, Forgotten Fields narrative is so strong and meaningful that I could overlook its various shortcomings. This may be an impassioned title about memories and moving on, but I can't help but find myself reflecting on it and wishing to be wrapped up in its warm embrace just one more time.

An experience which exudes humanity and warmth, from the writing to the visual style and music. A short game with some issues, but it packs a true emotional weight.
