Story

“There were myriads of good reasons for shunning the nameless city, one for each strange tale passed from generation to generation.

Tales averted people from entering the city, even from getting closer to its walls, and legends say that it was older than the eldest of the pyramids; few say it was older than humanity itself. But there was no legend so old as to give it a name.”

Game concept

The Nameless City is a narrative-driven first person adventure inspired by Lovecraft's short novel of the same name. It has lo-fi 3D graphics inspired by the PSX era and uses AI generated images to convey concepts alien to the human mind.

A play-through of the full game lasts about 40-50 minutes and the demo is around 10 minutes long. Both share the same save file, so you can play the demo first and then continue your journey on the full game.

Controls

Mouse +  keyboard and gamepad are supported.

Note: the demo only supports mouse + keyboard.

Soundtrack
