About

The Sinking City is an adventure and investigation game set in an open world inspired by the universe of H.P. Lovecraft, the master of Horror. The half-submerged city of Oakmont is gripped by supernatural forces. You're a private investigator, and you have to uncover the truth of what has possessed the city… and the minds of its inhabitants.

An oppressive atmosphere and story inspired by the universe of H.P. Lovecraft.

A vast open world that can be explored on foot, by boat, in a diving suit…

High replay value thanks to an open investigation system: each case can be solved in a number of ways, with different possible endings depending on your actions.

An arsenal of weapons from the 1920s with which to take on nightmarish creatures.

Manage your mental health to untangle the truth behind the madness.

Nintendo Life said:

While it’s carried over its fair share of clunky elements in the transition to Nintendo's console, The Sinking City on Nintendo Switch is a fully-featured and mostly well-optimised port. The mixture of psychological horror and detective skills is a positive step beyond the developer’s previous work on Sherlock Holmes titles, and while its sanity mechanic doesn’t quite hold up to the likes of Eternal Darkness: Sanity’s Requiem, and it's not without bugs, it offers an enjoyable if not particularly scary descent into madness and delirium.

7/10
