Grandma was right.

Nobody really believed her. Not even you, her favorite grandchild.

But she was right. And more so than you could ever imagine.

The city before you, deep in the mist shrouded forest, can't be found on any map. It shouldn't even exist. Though it's been asleep for a long time, you feel a mysterious power begin to awaken from the ruins around you.

Legend has it the civilization that built this place could somehow control the seasons. But nobody listens to legends.

Nobody except Grandma.

And she was right.

You look again at the artifact she gave you. Close to this lost city, it almost seems alive in your hand.

The city does exist. It's real.

Could the secret magic, powerful enough to change the seasons, be real too?

Childhood Favorite
     
by Alinadaisy123 · February 25, 2025

I remember playing this game when I was 8-11. This is such a hidden gem, back when developers prioritized the game over making money off of ads and people buying features. You can tell how much thought went into the game, and the images are stunning

BEST OF FIRE MAPLE
     
by Quinn781 · September 15, 2025

This game was my childhood and just as wonderful on replay. Literally bought all the other games because this one is so good. If Fire Maple STAYS AWAY from AI art and looks back on their classics, the world would be a better place

Great game!!
     
by honestythapolicy👍 · August 25, 2019

I got this game when it was pretty new...I was probably 8. I’m 14 now and playing again was really fun because it brought back great nostalgia and it seemed almost dé jà vu like. Really fun game, makes you think, gameplay is about 45 min.-1hr. and it gets really exciting. Obviously it’s not new animation but it was made in 2012 so... Also hand-painted graphics. Very cool.

Fun Puzzler
     
by Kroz Hog · January 29, 2020

I am a fan of the Fire Maple games. Lost City benefits from the forethought that went into making the puzzles fit in with the story and the environments. Solving puzzles by changing seasons is clever, and so are many of the puzzles themselves, which are at a medium level of difficulty (just hard enough to make you think, but far from exasperating). This game, like all of Fire Maple’s games, is a welcome relief from the gloomy, creepy settings and atmosphere in most of the games in this genre. The music is pleasant and the visuals are colorful, which makes for a stress-free puzzle-solving experience. The journal and the map are useful features, as well. Overall, this is a nice, calm way to spend a few hours, and scratch that puzzling itch.

Fantastically amazing

It used to be a great game, but it doesn’t work anymore

BEST GAME EVER
     
by 10293855557 · July 31, 2022

I have played this game since it first came out, and after about 50 playthroughs I have never gotten tired of it. Best game ever!

Incredible game!
     
by Rigyogy · April 11, 2021

The Lost City is an incredible experience from beginning to end. The game has incredible hand drawn visuals, gripping puzzles, an ever growing and changing environment for you to explore and to this day the experience isn’t outdated! For the price you pay, The Lost City is an absolute steal and an incredible game!
