## Resource

Watch the video: https://youtu.be/Er726BVgQ5M David and Andrew dig into The Forgotten City beyond the first-pass Golden Rule underworld: ethics, truth, and whether religious claims can be real when the game's "god" is only a superhuman power play. Spoilers for the full game. In this Mythic Mind Games conversation, they praise the Socratic form and time-loop intrigue while pressing where the philosophy goes soft: relativism, absolute morality, and what happens when the underworld's ruler is not the prime mover.
