The Land Forgotten
Steam
Qoli has been chosen as a wizard’s apprentice, but she cannot use magic.
Accompanied by her clever (and very opinionated) companion, Rat, she sets out to find a lost civilization, uncover their secrets and translate the mysterious manuscript.

Explore a hand-painted world, decipher ancient scripts, and solve language-based puzzles as you progress through the story. Every challenge is inspired by real linguistic principles. Languages and number systems from the real world appear in keys, spells, and potion ingredients.
