About Forgot
Forgot is a puzzle game by Maxwell Whitebaker that drops you in a decaying home stuck in a time loop. Released on PC in December 2025, it’s a first-person experience where memory and observation are key. You wander a shifting, glitchy house, tracking subtle environmental changes to break free. The core hook is a roguelike twist: each loop alters the layout, hiding anomalies that trigger resets. It’s a slow-burn brain teaser with a tense, claustrophobic vibe. Think The Witness meets Don’t Look Back In Anger, but with a focus on spatial recall over combat. Ideal for players who like figuring out systems through repetition.
Gameplay
You explore a procedurally generated house, memorizing objects and room layouts. Each loop lasts 10, 15 minutes, during which you collect notes, spot visual glitches (like a wall flickering), and avoid anomalies (e.g., a cat suddenly appearing). Mechanics revolve around pattern recognition: a broken lamp in one loop might be a clue in another. Puzzles aren’t traditional; solutions emerge by cross-referencing past observations. Controls are minimal, movement, a camera to snap screenshots, and a journal for logging details. The challenge lies in retaining info across loops, which get increasingly convoluted. Mistakes reset your progress, forcing you to replay sections with new context.
What Players Think
PlayPile users rate it 8.2/10, with 68% completing the game. Average playtime is 5.2 hours, though some log over 10. Moods are split: 42% frustration, 31% curiosity, and 27% anxiety. Reviews highlight the “clever use of repetition” but criticize “grinding puzzles.” Achievement stats show 38 total, with the hardest, “Loop Master,” requiring 100+ resets and worth 35G. Critics praise the “haunting atmosphere” but note a steep learning curve. 23% of players quit mid-game, citing “repetitive resets.” The community leans divided: some call it a “genius twist on puzzles,” others a “noodly brain tax.”
PlayPile's Take
Forgot is a niche title for puzzle heads who enjoy methodical problem-solving. At $19.99, it’s a risk for casual players, but the 38 achievements (worth 193G total) add replay value. The design is punishing, expect 30% of players to rage-quit, but its clever loop system rewards persistence. Not for those who dislike slow pacing or trial-and-error mechanics. If you’re into decoding environmental cues and don’t mind grinding through resets, it’s a fresh take on puzzle games. Otherwise, skip it.
