WhatIfGamingDaniel WestropApr 20218/10Forgotten Fields is an amazingly well-written game, its strength resides entirely on its narrative, dialogue, and flawless soundtrack. The gameplay is simple but compliments the game by enabling its strongest points to shine through. It will tug at your heartstrings, take you down memory lane, generate reflection, while ultimately delivering a spectacular journey.

JumpCut PLAYTaylor GambleApr 20218/10Forgotten Fields is a very charming, warm game that I highly recommend. If you’re looking for an inspiring, emotional, and heart-warming story with personality-filled characters and humorous writing, it’s here in spades. The minimalist but stylised graphics are very appealing, though the character models do need some improvement and some idle animations would be appreciated. The gameplay has some fun quirks but is quite simple overall, with some intuitive issues such as getting stuck on terrain, but those are very easily overlooked. I, personally, am now considering picking up Frostwood’s first release, Rainswept, as I enjoyed Forgotten Fields so thoroughly. It’s also nice to support an independent creator who clearly has a passion for well-written narratives and emotionally-driven themes.

GameSpewBecca SmithApr 20215/10Though it’s not a bad game, Forgotten Fields is hampered by more than a handful of technical issues. Prepare to glitch through furniture and objects as you try and make your way around this otherwise beautiful world. It’s a shame, because there are more than a few truly lovely moments, and you’ll likely find yourself relating to the game’s cast of characters. Perhaps wait until its bugs have been addressed, because there’s a good story to be experienced here.
