Frogwares has released a new gameplay trailer for The Sinking City. According to the press release, this trailer video highlights the inner-workings of the game’s unique investigation system and how it forces players to truly think, deduct and make their own (possibly the wrong) conclusions rather than just follow convenient waypoint markers.
Players will be able to spot obscure details on the evidence with the help of their “Mind’s Eye”, reimagine the events that took place on a crime scene with “Retrocognition” and follow “The Omens” to reveal what’s unseen to an ordinary detective. Players can also utilize “Archives” within the City Hall, Police Station, Library and other facilities to piece together the troubled history of Oakmont, and cross-reference all known facts within their “Mind Palace” to come to their conclusion.
The Sinking City is story-rich, free investigation game set in a twisted H.P Lovecraft inspired universe. Step into Oakmont, Massachusetts – a place suffering decay and rot from unprecedented supernatural floods that slowly envelope the city and the minds of its inhabitants.
The game is said to be aiming for a 2019 release date (instead of a March 2019 release date) so I guess it’s safe to say that the game has been indeed delayed!

Vidya gaming in a nutshell
What are you blabbering about?
no handholding sounds great if you ask me.
I just hope it’s better from the disappointing Call of Cthulhu.
Exactly my thoughts, please be good.
is alone in the dark as good as i remember it? i never beat it when it came out.
Which one? 😀 They all have something to them thou. You talking about very first one? One that straight up inspired first Resident Evil game? Yeah’t it’s good. It’s kinda silly but it’s classic.
You talking about Alone in the Dark 2008? I still really enjoyed that one. Quit unique game. Thou it’s not really hold in high regard because it was janky, buggy mess. The gameplay concepts of it thou? It was dope. People were not digging its open-world but compared to modern open world games? It’s nothing like that. It’s proper survival horror game taking place in rather open map of Central Park.
i’ll start playing the thing instead then.
Looking better than Call of Cthulhu that’s for sure
Classic AA jank. You can tell from very first time they showed off the gameplay.
I can’t wait for this personally! But if you think game looks janky to you and maybe think that it’s just because its pre-release footage. Yeah, nah. This is the game.
Notice how all these games have supernatural elements. They cant be bothered to create interesting mechanics so they flash some ghost in front of your screen and thats that.
i am getting sillent hill and fear vibes and thats a good thing.
Too much water. 4/10
