The Forgotten: It Begins

The game loads to this screen allowing the brightness / dimness to be adjusted to suit the atmosphere

Part of the animated sequence that precedes the game. This is 'The Collection'. Artifacts of great power given to Man by the Ancients.

The game start menu. The three cards at the bottom open up, from left to right, the instructions, the game, and the history.

The first screen of the Instructions option

The first screen of the History option

The start of the game. The player starts in the study and can explore it to get a feel for the controls. Turning round is done by holding the left mouse button while moving the mouse

This is the person who's gone missing, or who's 'been collected' by the ancients. The cursor changes when there's an item that can be looked at or interacted with.

On the desk is a handy back pack that becomes an inventory

Under the back pack are handy things such as a letter that progresses the plot, a gun, a watch, and a red globe - that must be loaded first.

Under the box is one of the magic cards. This opens a portal into the first 'real' game location

The portal takes the player to a deserted street.

On the right is the hotel referred to in the letter from the study

.. but the hotel is locked

Another letter that progresses the plot .... or does it?

What's been going on here?

At last, somewhere to go

This looks interesting

Its a puzzle! So the game really really starts here.
