As Fig, you travel around on a ship that sort of reminds me ofSpiritfarer’s little hand-drawn home, meet other Forgotlings, and protect them from baddies with a mix of stealth combat and hacky-slashy malarky. The overall goal is to unite the different tribes of forgotlings to fight against an ancient prophesied evil, but there are sidequests, an in-game board game, andFig’s horrifying tummy mouthto distract you.
Forgotton Anne was notable not just for the cute misspelling in the title that drove me bonkers every time I had to write about or search for it online, but for being an incredibly beautiful hand-drawn game. Forgotlings is very evidently going to be no different, and you can see Fig sailing through huge cliffs, sliding on sand dunes, wading through sunlit waters and doing some good ol' swashbuckling swinging around the place. Even the enemies you fight look cool. I’m a big fan of the weird little crab fella you stealth behind in thegameplay trailer.
Keep an eye out as the reveals and annoucements ramp up this weekend.
