What is The Sinking City?
The Sinking City is an action-adventure and investigation game set in an open world environment and played from a third-person perspective. The game features a story-driven campaign, in which the player character’s choices affect the outcome of the game. The Sinking City is set in the city of Oakmont, Massachusetts, which is overwhelmed by supernatural forces that have caused it to sink into the ocean. The player character, private investigator Charles Reed, must uncover the cause of the sinking and discover what is behind the supernatural forces.
The Good
The Sinking City is a horror game set in an alternate history 1920s. You play as a private investigator who must solve the mystery of what’s causing people to go insane and turn into monsters. The game is beautifully atmospheric, with a soundtrack that will send chills down your spine. The gameplay is challenging and rewarding, and the story will keep you hooked until the very end.
The Bad
The Sinking City is a mess. The game is buggy, the story is nonsensical, and the presentation is amateurish. Despite its potential, The Sinking City fails to deliver a compelling or entertaining experience.
The Verdict
After spending dozens of hours with The Sinking City, I can say that it’s a good game. It’s not a great game, but it is good. There are some rough edges, and it’s not for everyone, but if you’re looking for a Lovecraftian detective story that does its own thing and isn’t afraid to be weird, The Sinking City is worth your time.
