Description: ‘A Night in The Forum’ is an educational environmental narrative game, based on scientific reconstructions, that uses PlayStation VR to magically immerse you in the world of Augustan Rome. Your story starts off with a little capricious trespassing in The Forum ruins. But things soon magically derail into a night-long adventure as a mysterious voice guides you back in time and into the shoes of a Roman military standing guard in The Forum. By performing tasks, you’ll shed light on bits of knowledge, piecing them together to paint a
picture of Roman life at the epochal height of this civilization, during the 1st century. Visiting the Forum of Augustus in Rome will never be the same…
Review: There is nothing wrong with A Night in the Forum, it’s just that it is on the PSVR. The PSVR is NOT the place for educational apps like this no matter how good they are. There is simply no point in reviewing this because if you have an interest in this sort of thing, you will give this a go regardless of what I say! The good news is that it is at least cheap enough to give it a go, so even if you don’t learn much from it, you won’t feel so bad about it.
