THE SINKING CITY (Frogwares/Bigben Interactive – Xbox/PS4/PC – June 27, 2019) – The Sinking City appeared at E3 last year in a stand-alone display and attracted attention. With its atmospheric background and terrifying mannequins, the game quickly freaked out convention goers who stopped to take a picture– only to be surprised when said mannequins moved behind/next to them. Since then, I’ve kept an eye on this intriguing blend of 20s detective noir and Lovecraftian horror…
The Sinking City is a third person open world detective-based, action adventure game (got all that?), where your skill and attention to surroundings affect your quests and progress.
Nearing release, there have been a few trailers and some gameplay footage; still, it’ll be great to get my hands on a demo at this year’s E3 just before the mannequins ask me of my initial impressions.
