The Forgotten City

This one is cool.
Its fairly short (I beat it in one sitting, but its maybe between 4-8 hours)

light on combat (there are only a couple sections with combat, and they are basically one and done.)

It's a time loop game, but the loop mechanic has to be activated each time, so there isn't an arbitrary time limit, and you can die before getting a chance to activate it. (so its not Live, Die, Repeat)

You are exploring an Ancient Roman** Ruin, and end up teleported back in time to when it was a functioning society on its "last day" before collapse. You then have to piece together what happened, and if/how to stop it.

Puzzle and Dialog Heavy.

** - Not everything is as it seams - History buffs know what I mean ;)
