Published: Sept. 1, 2022, midnight

b'Welcome to Xbox Game Passengers.\\nOnce a month, host Derek and a guest will dissect and discuss just one game available on Microsoft\\u2019s Xbox Game Pass service, which was chosen for them (usually) at random.\\nWhether the game is a magical or a horrible experience, they\\u2019ll force themselves through it, share their thoughts, and let you know whether or not the game is worth your time! At the end of each episode, they\\u2019ll also randomly select the game for the following show, so you always know what\\u2019s coming up on the next adventure.\\nThis month, it\\u2019s time for a time-looping mystery with Skyrim mod turned full game The Forgotten City, and for the first time in quite some time, Derek is joined by a brand-new guest!\\nThe Forgotten City is a mystery adventure game of exploration and deduction, and a re-imagining of the critically acclaimed mod that won a national Writers\\u2019 Guild award and racked up over 3 million downloads.\\nCombat is an option, but violence will only get you so far. Only by questioning an intertwined community of colourful characters, cleverly exploiting the time loop, and making difficult moral choices can you hope to solve this epic mystery. Here, your decisions matter. The fate of the city is in your hands.\\nListen to find out how things went, and if you like what you\\u2019ve heard, please let us know!\\nLearn more about your ad choices.
