Sid is a fiction author struggling with a creative block, attempting to recapture the feelings of inspiration he felt when he was younger. In order to pay the bills, he needs to think up a story and apply for a grant - the deadline is today - a lazy Sunday in the middle of summer.
On this Sunday, his struggle is disturbed by an invitation to attend an unavoidable family obligation - The place Sid grew up in is about to be sold, and his mother wants him to come home for a small party so he can say goodbye to it. With the deadline approaching and his creative juices having frozen, this is not something he's looking forward to.
Join Sid as he reluctantly journeys back home, meets old friends, relives memories and attempts to kick start his creativity back into gear.
The Kickstarter campaign for cozy, warm narrative game Forgotten Fields has now come to an end, hitting a total of 115% funding. The overwhelming backing for the campaign meant that the first stretch goal was achieved; bonus outfits for the lead character Sid. In an update to the supporting community solo developer Armaan (Frostwood Interactive) said 'it's hard to describe how much it means to me. All this support has motivated me even more to make this game a special, meaningful experience.'
The demo is still available now via the Steam page if you're interested in trying the game.
Following a tightly written narrative, players will get the chance to play through sections of Sid’s half-baked book idea as he experiences sudden bursts of inspiration, and even make some key decisions that affect the outcome of both stories.
Forgotten Fields is a warm, cozy game about nostalgia, creativity, appreciating the present, and the passage of time - a meditation on impermanence and the shortness of life.
Forgotten Fields is planned for a release towards the end of this year, initially releasing on PC (Steam).
