1924. Private Investigator Pierce is sent to look into the tragic death of the Hawkins family on the isolated Darkwater Island. Soon enough, Pierce is pulled into a terrifying world of conspiracies, cultists, and cosmic horrors.
Nothing is as it seems. Sanity is an irregular bedfellow, all too often replaced by whisperings in the dark. Strange creatures, weird science, and sinister cults dominate the Cthulhu Mythos, intent on realizing their mad schemes to bring about the end of everything.
Your mind will suffer - between sanity and psychosis, your senses will be disrupted until you question the reality of everything around you. Trust no one. Slinking shadows hide lurking figures… and all the while, the Great Dreamer prepares for his awakening.

Strange mash of game types
Starts out pretty good- rpg points for investigating crimes scenes in different ways, it even appears to have an open world of sorts for you to wander the areas. Then at some point the investigations start shrinking, most of your points(which you can't max out) are useless, and you're railroaded from location and cutscene to location and cutscene in a very linear way. The game does maintain a good Lovecraftian feel, and makes some decent effort into (optionally) descending into madness, but The Sinking City definitely does it all better. Graphics are acceptable but strangely limited, things like repeated character arm gestures as they're talking. Worst is probably not having any type of chapter replay, since there are multiple possible endings, but you literally have to replay from the start to do anything different. Also not a fan of hide-and-seek insta-die sections, but that's on me.
