Review summary

Forgotten: D&D style text RPG offers a fun and immersive D&D-inspired experience with good gameplay and replayability. Users appreciate the compelling story and developer engagement. However, many are frustrated by the short length, paywall after two free chapters, spelling and grammar errors, confusing RNG mechanics, and some bugs. While fans of text RPGs find it enjoyable, improvements in polish, length, and payment model could enhance appeal.

Pros

Fun and engaging D&D style text RPG experience
Story is immersive, well written, and coherent with proper narration
Good gameplay mechanics with multiple story scenarios and replayability
Affordable price for full game compared to similar games
Developer responsiveness and intent to improve the game

Cons

Only first two chapters are free, with a paywall for the rest which some consider a money grab
Numerous spelling, grammar, and wording errors distracting from the experience
Game is very short, taking only a few hours to finish
Randomness/RNG in stat checks is confusing and can result in frequent failures
Some bugs and glitches, including issues with chapter progression and achievements

2026-03-27	Ch*****	why in the world am I forced to be a half elf?! I don't want to be a half elf! and also, why can't I transfer points from one thing to another?! I want to bed a bit buff dumb guy, but I can't make myself dumb because you can't remove points!!!

2026-02-28	Da*****	the need to pay is fair enough (makes sense like the first chapter is a demo version or something)but the story does need to be made longer if we are gonna pay. and maybe make point requirements (like you have to have high enough stats for something to succeed) instead of RNG because it can be frustrating. but ive liked the story and it is a good text RPG overall👍

2026-02-22	Ju*****	Great concept - but I would direct you to Wizard's Choice and Eldrum instead. The story and writing are poor. Your choices don't appear (in Chapter 4) to really make a huge difference. And there are TONS of typos. I am not a grammar or spelling snob, but it's so bad that it's really distracting. As if someone typed it as fast as possible or used AI just to crank it out and monetize it. That said, it's cheap and can help scratch the itch if you've already tried the other story books I mention

2026-02-10	Yo*****	great first chapter but my concern is there was nothing in the description about the game having a paywall after chapter 2 specify that first

2026-02-03	Jo*****	You get about half a chapter in and they ask for money to continue. It feels like poorly written AI slop. Not interesting at all as it railroads you into a story. No real free decision making or creativity with your attributes. If the story says you have to make a strength check to proceed, then strength you must do, regardless of your skills.
