The Sinking City is a dark, atmospheric detective adventure inspired by the works of H.P. Lovecraft. Set in the fictional city of Oakmont, Massachusetts, the game takes place in a world slowly being consumed by a supernatural flood and creeping madness. You play as a private investigator plagued by disturbing visions, tasked with uncovering the truth behind the city’s descent into chaos. Gameplay focuses heavily on investigation—examining crime scenes, piecing together clues, interrogating troubled citizens, and making morally ambiguous decisions that shape the narrative.
Combat exists but is intentionally tense and limited, reinforcing a sense of vulnerability and dread. The semi-open world encourages exploration, rewarding curiosity with hidden stories, side cases, and unsettling discoveries. With its moody visuals, oppressive atmosphere, and emphasis on player-driven investigation, The Sinking City delivers a slow-burning horror experience that prioritizes mystery, lore, and psychological tension over action-heavy gameplay.
