In the latest video for the upcoming Roman-era time-traveling video game The Forgotten City, the focus is set on The Golden Rule. No, not that Golden Rule. In The Forgotten City, The Golden R🍰ule means something entirely different, and it’s your task to break it as many times as it take𝄹s in order to save the people living in a city without sin.

showcases ten and a half minutes of this incoming narrative-driven game by indie game developer Modern Storyteller and publisher Dear Villagers. The quest featured in the preview is titled The Golden Rule, but it’s not the “do to others what you want them to do to you” version. It’s also not a 🍃rule you’ll be adhering to during the game. In fact, the preview suggests you’ll be breaking it many times over the course of t🐻he quest.

The Forgotten City is based on The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim mod of the same name, which was the first mod in history to win a national Writers' Guild award for its script. This mod has you discovering a lost city and being tasked with solving the mysterious murders of all the people who lived there. The Forgotten City preview presents how that mod is being expanded into a full stand-alone game c𒈔entered around The G🥂olden Rule.

In the preview, the player uses a portal and is sent back in time 2,000 years to an ancient Roman city hidden within a mountain. They soon meet up with Magistrate Sentius, who explains the city has a single rule, The Golden Rule: any person who commits a🐻 sin will anger the gods, who will turn every person in the city into gold. Sentius remarks to the player that he feels as if someone is about to break the Rule, and implores them to find who that person is and stop them before they doom everyone.

The preview goes on to show a single loop in The Golden Rule quest, where the player discovers a possible crime, and how they themselves have to break the Rule, turning all the city’s inhabitants into golden statues. The player then has to race back to the portal to ‘reset’ the timeline back to when they first entered the city, and with the knowledge gained from the previous timeline, return to where the crime is supposed to happen and stop 💛it before it does. Think of it as if the movie "Minority Report" had the time-travel trope included in it, and was set in the ancient Roman era.

The Forgotten City is still in development, but according to its , it’s currently scheduled for a winter 2020 release. You can wishlist and follow the game there fꦉor further updates, along with the and Twitter channels. And if by chance you have yet to play , don’t wait any longer to do so.
