I was talking about two games. One was about the Mongol empire and the other one was about a future where robots and machines have taken over the humans. I said:
"It's set in the past and the other one's set in the future."
I've looked up 'set in' and this is the meaning I found:
"To establish some time or place as the setting of a story, play, or film. In this usage, a noun or pronoun can be used between "set" and "in."
1) Was my sentence correct? And can we use any time reference with 'set in?' For example:
- Set in winter/summer
- Set in the time of the Mongols/ Genghis khan.
2) Can we also use it for locations? For example:
- Where was Forrest Gump set in?
- GTA (an infamous game) was set in New York.
"It's set in the past and the other one's set in the future."
