Forgotten Fields is a 2021 adventure video game developed by Frostwood Interactive and published by Dino Digital.[1] The game was designed by Indian game developer Armaan Sandhu, who had previously developed Rainswept. It follows Sid, a struggling writer experiencing creative burnout who revisits his childhood home in Goa before it is sold. The game explores themes of nostalgia, friendship, artistic insecurity, and moving on from the past.
The game was released for Microsoft Windows in April 2021, followed by ports for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One in 2022.[1]
Gameplay
Forgotten Fields is a narrative-driven adventure game presented from a third-person perspective. Players control Sid as he explores various environments, interacts with characters, solves simple puzzles, and engages in dialogue choices that advance the story.[2]
The game incorporates fantasy sequences based on the fictional novel that Sid is attempting to complete. These segments feature different settings and gameplay scenarios that contrast with the grounded slice-of-life experiences of the main narrative.[3]
Unlike traditional adventure games, Forgotten Fields focuses primarily on storytelling and character interactions rather than challenging puzzles or combat mechanics.[2]
Plot
Sid is a writer struggling to finish his latest book while facing financial uncertainty and creative exhaustion. Before his family home in Goa is sold, he returns to attend a farewell gathering with his childhood friends.
Throughout the reunion, Sid reflects on his memories, relationships, and aspirations. Conversations with friends reveal how their lives have changed since adolescence and highlight the emotional difficulties of accepting adulthood and change.
Interspersed with these events are playable sequences from Sid's unfinished fantasy story, reflecting his creative process and internal conflicts. By confronting both his memories and insecurities, Sid gradually regains clarity about his future.
Development
Forgotten Fields was developed by Frostwood Interactive, an independent game studio based in India. The project was led by Armaan Sandhu, who had previously developed Rainswept.[1]
The game's soundtrack was composed by Micamic.[1]
Release

The game was later released for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One on 14 April 2022.[1]
