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?

### 5/5 — BEST OF FIRE MAPLE

*2025-09-15, version 1.16*

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

### 5/5 — The Lost City

*2025-08-18, version 1.16*

Oh I’ve loved this.  It’s one of the only games I return to, and wish very much there were sequels to.  Beautiful artwork, graphics, puzzles, music.  A conception of changing seasons that effectively offers four worlds in one.  Elegant puzzles, great interface, immersive and peaceful.  Beautifully and lovingly created.
