The Sinking City is a third-person exploration and investigation game in the style of H. P. Lovecraft. It lets the players take on a role of a private investigator arriving to the coastal city of Oakmont sometime in the 1920s. Flooded with water, eerie and oppressive, any outsider can see clearly that something is wrong with the city, but it will be your job to discover what precisely it is. You will need to traverse the open world of the game, investigating cases and collecting clues; in addition to the city itself, you will also have to explore underwater. Unlike many games in the same genre, The Sinking City is flexible about the way you conduct investigations. You need only to arrive at the conclusion of each case; this can be accomplished in many different ways. In addition, the way you solve these cases will have an impact on the story.
Eventually, however, you will have no choice but to confront the horrors the human mind was never meant to comprehend. Luckily, that doesn’t make them immune to bullets. Many different era-appropriate weapons will be made available to you.
The Sinking City is available on Windows, PS4 & PS5, Xbox One & Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch. It is not available on Mac, but with this guide, you will be able to play The Sinking City on Mac anyway.
