Disney Dreamlight Valley's Glitch Amplifies the Spook Factor for The Forgotten

A glitch in Disney Dreamlight Valley has intensified the eerie presence of The Forgotten. Following a hairstyle update, The Forgotten unexpectedly appeared behind a player, as she often does, but with their head shaking rapidly in a disturbing manner. While some players admire The Forgotten's character evolution, others find them unsettling, and this video likely reinforced that perspective for those in the latter group.

A disturbing glitch in Disney Dreamlight Valley featuring The Forgotten is giving some players the chills. Despite the original character's redemption arc in Disney Dreamlight Valley, this system bug isn't helping them make friends around the valley.

For those unfamiliar, The Forgotten plays the role of the primary antagonist in the first act of Dreamlight Valley. Serving as a dark counterpart to the player character, The Forgotten once governed the valley but lost their connection to wonder and magic, leading to various issues such as the spread of night thorns and characters forgetting cherished memories of loved ones. However, after being rescued from darkness, The Forgotten undertakes heartwarming quests in Dreamlight Valley to integrate with other characters residing there.

Their mysterious presence remains unchanged, yet a recently uncovered glitch has heightened some players' perception of The Forgotten as a villain. Shared on Reddit by user Large-Counter6916, a video depicted their avatar changing hairstyles in Dreamlight Valley. Upon selecting a new hairstyle, a cloud of smoke emerged, and The Forgotten ascended from the sidewalk through a shadowy portal. While many players noted The Forgotten's occasional visits to the hair salon, this glitch caused their head to twitch erratically as they emerged, introducing unsettling imagery into the typically tranquil and cozy game environment.

Players of Dreamlight Valley Remain Divided on The Forgotten

Despite the unsettling glitch, some fans reacting to the video still admire The Forgotten, seeing them as a representation of the player's inner child who undergoes a transformation after rediscovering the magic in everything with the player's help. A few fans have expressed regret that the game lacks a friendship quest or other ways to connect with their alter ego. On the other hand, some players remain unsettled by The Forgotten's creepy aspects. One player mentioned avoiding completing The Forgotten's questline to prevent them from permanently settling in their village.

Regardless of fan sentiment towards The Forgotten, developer Gameloft is forging ahead with the Disney Dreamlight Valley 2024 roadmap. As anticipated, a recent update introducing Mulan and her dragon companion Mushu has just been released. Looking ahead, players can anticipate Tiana joining the game later this summer, and Expansion Pass holders can prepare to confront Jafar in the upcoming Treasures of Time update, also scheduled for this season.
