Forgotten Symphony

Forgotten Symphony is an interactive story set in 2234, where climate change, corporate control of politics, total surveillance and absurd laws shape everyday life. Ellie tries to lead an ordinary, monotonous life of video games, pizza and occasional lawbreaking. Her routine is upended when an unknown hacker breaks into the computer chip in her brain and begins taking control of her body. The stranger claims to come from 2244, but has little else left in his memory. The story deals with friendship, solidarity, loss and fears about the future.

Story and choices

You follow the story through a visual novel with some freedom of movement. Your decisions affect how it ends, while small minigames and puzzles provide a change from reading. The game also includes what it calls its most important side quest since the invention of video games.

Features

Forgotten Symphony is more an interactive story than a game focused on extensive gameplay, and takes about 4–5 hours to complete. It features a varied soundtrack with original songs, alongside a mix of strange events and an unsettling future.
