The Sinking City Remastered

Interesting and quite well done game, especially for those who like "film noir" and, of course, cthulhu. It starts out very strong and interesting, but once you´ve solved the first case, and got used to the mechanics, you also start seeing it´s flaws. Flaws like massive re-use of assets (you´ll find the same cars, houses and objects over and over again), immersion-breaking flaws in world building (why is the building flooded outside, but not inside?), and the lack of consequences and world interaction in general. While it´s an "open world", you can´t enter most of the buildings, and there is absolutely nothing to gain by roaming the streets! But the "detective" and storytelling aspect is where it shines. It really creates a dense and foetid atmosphere. Looks and plays a bit too dated to justify the 40+€ imho, but I got my almost 25h of fun out of it!

I enjoy it thus far, even though I am not been playing it very long. So far, it is a good balance between detective, mystery, horror, some action (not too much, and not to invasive), and adventure. The graphics are great, and the atmosphere is top notch. If any negetives should be mentioned, it is that NPC's often walk around like retards, hehe (four NPC's was trying to walk past a fence, and just stoood there with feet moving but they staying in the same place, for instance). But it does not break imersion, for me personally at least.

Enjoyed the characters and story a lot. Combat definately needs to be reworked as its just about impossible to aim or hit anything.

This game is awesome. It ambients you in the Lovecraftian tales of cosmic horror. The city is beautiful and full of stories and surprises.

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
