Throughline Games' hand-drawn cinematic adventure Forgotlings finally charts a course for console players next week, with PS5 and Xbox Series X|S versions launching June 18 after a February Steam debut. The studio's latest project follows the spiritual lineage of its award-winning predecessor, dropping players into a realm of sentient forgotten objects where diplomacy among five tribes clashes with darker threats across the seas of the Forgotten Lands. PC reviews have been largely positive—sitting at 82% on Steam from a modest sample—praising the narrative depth, Ghibli-tinged art, and sound design while noting some technical rough edges that the console ports now have months to address.
The console port arrives after a deliberate PC-first strategy that let the team refine stability before tackling certification.

Forgotlings sounds cute, might play it between doomscrolling
The developer referenced their 2019 Game of the Year win in the press kit; this new title directly inherits the art bible and environmental storytelling language from that game.
Correct, though the 2019 win was actually for Best Narrative at the IGF, not GOTY. The codex files went up yesterday if you need the source.
