Have you heard of Call of Cthulhu, which is a horror role playing video game based on the writing of Lovecraft & a few others? Lovecraft wrote during 1920s & 1930s & he became very popular before his death in 1937. Since then, people recognized him as the major American horror story writer of the 20th century.

If you are thinking that The Sinking City is similar to Call of Cthulhu then it is; because Frogwares earlier worked on Call of Cthulhu before the project changed hands to Cyanide. Both games are different but both of them are set in 1920s, have Lovecraftian themes & both have a private investigator acting as protagonist.

The Sinking City Story:

You  can control a 1920’s private investigator who is doing his study in the Oakmont Massachusetts, New England. The city is suffering from floods. The town is trembling on the brink of madness.

People who survived the flood are roaming the town. Some of the leftovers are trying to make the best of the bad situation.

The city in the game, was once known for its trade harbor, famous for its lucrative smuggling business, but now isolated from the world due to flooding.

The Sinking City Gameplay:

Mostly you will be doing exploration as the game is set in an open world. The Sinking City is a Lovecraft inspired horror mystery game.

Dangerous monsters appear in the water. The in-game investigation is somewhat similar to what we have seen in L.A. Noire. You will often receive requests & missions that can only be solved through investigation. You will also conduct interviews to sort out the matter. Unlike L.A. Noire, The Sinking City has few objective markers or other clear points of direction. With few clues you will be doing investigation.
