Survival horror in the world of H.P. Lovecraft
The Sinking City 2 is a third-person survival horror game set in 1920s Arkham. It features a grounded style, tense pacing, and extremely limited resources: as you delve deeper, pressure mounts, safe areas offer only brief respite, and fear is an obstacle to overcome. Carefully manage your supplies, tackle SPINE - This is Gun Fu-chilling puzzles, and retrace your steps through unlocked shortcuts to gather supplies and upgrade materials.
Arkham, New England
This is a prosperous 1920s port city undergoing a supernatural flood. The rising waters erode the streets, weather Art Deco buildings, and plunge speakeasies into darkness. Every district bears traces of life, now all ravaged by the deluge. You will navigate on foot and by small boat, finding shortcuts behind collapsed seawalls and uncovering secrets in sealed parlors. You will explore a hospital beyond scientific explanation, a CSimulator where "the catch bites back," and delve beneath the city into the dark depths where ancient evils begin to stir.
A Costly Rescue
A botched ritual has trapped her soul in the Dreamlands, while her body has been seized by evil forces. To save the one you love, you must traverse the path of calamity to reach the source of the flood. Her consciousness lingers around you, yet rarely manifests before your eyes.
Grotesque Enemies
Rippers animate the corpses of the dead; Deep Ones surge from the dark waters; shadows warp space, testing your resolve. Of course, not every encounter requires direct confrontation; in some cases, you may need to retreat temporarily, regroup in safety, and adjust your build. You can also choose to complete side investigations and return with upgraded weapons.
Free Investigation, Open Exploration
Exploration is key to survival. Decipher the remnants of rituals, piece together bloody clues, interpret diaries that shouldn't exist, and uncover masks that cannot be removed. Optional investigations won't hinder main story progress, but they can unlock safer routes, provide valuable supplies and upgrades, and increase your chances of survival in future encounters.
A meticulously crafted Lovecraftian horror experience
The Sinking City 2 continues Frogwares' detective game heritage, delivering a deep and impactful survival horror experience. Shaped by the development team's dedication and player feedback, it faithfully recreates the Lovecraftian horror experience: the manifestation of mythos and the indescribable terror it breeds.
