Frogwares has released a new gameplay trailer for The Sinking City that focuses on its Lighting and Weather mechanics. In this new Lovecrafian open world action investigation game, Frogwares has created several types of lighting depending on the Time of Day.
The aforementioned lighting types will change dynamically and accordance to the day-night cycle that Frogwares has implemented. Thanks to its new weather system, the game will feature Sunny, Cloudy, Foggy and Stormly mornings/afternoons/nights.
In The Sinking City, players will assume the role of Charles W. Reed who is a private investigator in New England in the 1920s. Tortured by his past and otherworldly visions, he finds himself in Oakmont, Massachusetts, seeking salvation from the creeping insanity that afflicts him.
The Sinking City is currently scheduled for a May 21st, 2019, release!

These are the games i’m giving my money to now. Small studios that makes games for gamers and no Denuvo Filth. I would love if these games would start coming over to GOG.
Same. We need to support small dedicated devs who put their hearts and souls into their games. Not the moneymilking cashcows of triple-a developers.
Yeah tell me about it Homie. EA executive Patrick Söderlund, made 44.3 million last year and he wanted to leave the company years before and they gave him 20 million more just to stay. That Gaas (Games As A Service) is surely paying off I tell ya.
This looks pretty damn good for a small indie studio. The weather systems are all pretty top quality AA work at this point. The only thing I’m left wondering is exactly what the hell the game play of this is? Is it just walking around and solving puzzles like a third person detective game, or do you also fight some of the Cthulhu Mythos monsters at any point?
If it’s just an open world adventure game, I’ll be pretty happy since I love a good puzzle based adventure game.
If it ends up being pretty mediocre at least we have Call Of Cthulhu coming out at some point which seems to be a true recreation of the pen and paper game in first person.
Going by some pics they ‘ve released a few months earlier, there seems to be shooting involved.
Alright cool. Thanks for responding.
