Secrets, references and Easter eggs that we have found in the game
Frogwares has just released The Sinking City Remastered, which greatly improves the original game's visuals with Unreal Engine 5.
I've been thinking about replaying this one. Love that it's free for owners of the original release.
I bought this recently but haven't gotten around to it yet. So glad they offered the upgrade free. I'd have been annoyed otherwise ha
Frogwares, the developer of Lovecraftian investigative horror adventure The Sinking City, has obtained full publishing rights for its game.
Good for them. Sinking City was an odd game for me. Tons of jank and filler, and poorly tacked-on combat and character upgrades, but decent writing and stories that were compelling enough to make me finish the game.
It feels like it wants to be a point-and-click adventure game, but got shoehorned into an open-world RPG.
Good game. Not bad, not great. I'm still waiting for an amazing Cthulu game. Call of Cthulu by Cyanide/Focus Home got the tone and setting right, but just didn't deliver enough in other areas.
One day, eventually.
we never will now in this current climate. HP Lovecraft is taboo amongst the major players. Shame too cuz all his stories would make killer side quests in an open world adventure about the great old ones.
Rather than DLC a sequel that built on everything that worked and polished the bits that didn't would be ideal. There was a lot to like about the first game and it'd be a great base for a follow up with improved combat etc.
Feels like the game is a bit old for DLC, I can imagine them grafting on it and nobody buying it.
H.P. Lovecraft's cosmic horror influence can be seen in movies, books, and even games. Here are the best Lovecraftian video games.
