10 More Secret Video Game Shortcuts You DEFINITELY Missed
6. The Forgotten City - The True Suspect
The Forgotten City is a video game based on the popular Skyrim mod. The story throws you into the past, in an ancient city filled with colorful characters. However, because of The Golden Rule, if one person commits a sin, the city's statues come to life and kill everyone, including you.
Thankfully, the city has been cursed with an endless time loop so players can learn from their mistakes and repeat the day. This is why the magistrate, Sentius, tasks you to find out who is breaking The Golden Rule and why.
Playing through the game's story or reading spoilers reveals that Sentius is one of the game's villains. He has allowed citizens to commit sins so that he can be trapped in an endless time loop which has made him immortal. With that knowledge in mind, eager players can kill Sentius early, which leads to the game's first ending.
Fair warning though:
While killing Sentius might seem satisfying, it causes a time paradox and sends you back to the present.
From there, you meet a specific character and realize a terrible truth. Because of Sentius' death in the past, you are trapped in the forgotten city forever and are doomed to a slow, painful death. Though using this shortcut finishes the game, it is an example of why the short and easy road isn't always the best one.
