Game Description:
The Sinking City is an adventure and investigation game set in an open world inspired by the universe of H.P. Lovecraft, the master of Horror. The half-submerged city of Oakmont is gripped by supernatural forces. You're a private investigator, and you have to uncover the truth of what has possessed the city… and the minds of its inhabitants.
Game Pillars:
An oppressive atmosphere and story inspired by the universe of H.P. Lovecraft.
A vast open world that can be explored on foot, by boat, in a diving suit…
High replay value thanks to an open investigation system: each case can be solved in a number of ways, with different possible endings depending on your actions.
An arsenal of weapons from the 1920s with which to take on nightmarish creatures.
Manage your mental health to untangle the truth behind the madness.
Even many years past release this game holds up very well in the graphics dept. I've barely made it past the intro zone and I'm already in awe of the scope and amount of custom artwork that went into this game. Something about this game always had a unique feel to it that kept it on my radar and I'm stoked I finally have time to play it. Everything feels high quality and well designed. My only complaint would be that some controls and quirks are hard to figure out at first due to the lack of a full tutorial. Can't wait to get further in though I'm already kinda scared of how much time I might dump into it!
Want cosmic horror in a 20s setting? This hits the spot. Want a prototypical good ending that closes all loose ends and fully illuminates the setting? That's not how you cosmic horror correctly.
If you want a fun game that has compelling visuals and the vibe of cosmic horror, here you go. If not, well, go play Baldurs Gate or something. The only problem is some framerate issues and occasional graphical problems, but it's still a great experience overall with a deep lore that leaves just enough lacking for that ephemeral feeling.
its really complicated interface system takes some getting used to but it is fun and once you understand how to use it, it works well. It does well on the horror, lore and the insanity aspect of cthulhu mythos. good graphics, even in 2025
Sinking City is what I wanted Call of Cthulhu games to be, while I've thoroughly enjoyed them this hits a bit harder with its open world flooded Eldritch city that leans heavily into investigation and clues. I can't wait for TSC 2!
