About
The Sinking City 2 is a third-person survival horror set in 1920s Arkham. Deliberate, tense, and resource-lean: pressure builds as you push deeper, relief comes in brief refuge, and fear is something you manage. Mind your inventory, take on unnerving puzzles, and double back via unlocked shortcuts for supplies and upgrades.
A Roaring ’20s port city buckling under a supernatural flood. Tide-stained avenues and battered Art Deco. Speakeasies gone dark. Districts feel lived-in and water-worn, with routes by foot and skiff, shortcuts behind collapsed seawalls, and secrets tucked in boarded parlors. You’ll navigate a hospital where science hides its face, a fish market where the merchandise bites back, and descend deep below the city to where eldritch horrors stir.
A ritual gone wrong trapped her soul in the Dreamlands, and now malevolent forces have stolen her body. To rescue the woman you love, you must walk a dangerous path through catastrophe to the source of the flood — her presence always felt, but rarely seen.
The Slither animate the dead. Deep Ones surge from dark water. Shadows bend space and test nerves. Some fights must be met head-on; others demand a retreat to rearm, retune your build, and return better prepared. Or take on an optional investigation and come back with an upgraded gun.
Exploration is the key to survival. Read ritual residues, sift through grisly clues, decode journals that shouldn’t exist, and pry at masks that won’t come off. Optional cases never gate progress — but they unlock safer routes, hard supplies, and upgrades that change how you endure the next encounter.
The Sinking City 2 draws on Frogwares’ detective roots to deliver survival horror that runs deep and hits hard. Shaped by studio obsession and community feedback, it’s a faithful Lovecraft experience: myths made manifest, and the inconceivable fear that results.

Дякую розробникам за цю гру в непростий час. Цікаві локації і загадки, сподобалась історія у стилі Лафкрафт. Загальна атмосфера топ, за виключенням бойової системи. Прохання у наступних частинах зробити більш живою, а то вона дерев'яна і враження, що персонаж наклав в штани і не може швидше втікати, коли на нього нападають зі всіх сторін. P.S. але дякую за фінального боса
If you like lovecraftian horror and Resident Evil this game is for you. They changed a lot about how you play the game in comparison to the first game. Chapters and large levels vs Open City Inventory like RE Denser atmosphere slower pacing I did like the first, but it felt oftentimes ununpolished and a bit rough around the egdes. Sinking City 2 feels more triple A than AA. I do like RE and I love Lovecraft and the Cthulhu mythos, so for all of you who feel the same definitly give this game a try, you will most likely have a winderful time.

14 on sale1 answered “not sold”0 we did not ask
The 1 “not sold” market is read from the Steam price pass of Sep 4: that day the store answered for this game elsewhere and gave no price there. The 14 priced markets are the same rows as the table above — each the latest price we hold, dated here when it is older than that pass. The 0 marked “not asked” were not put to this store at all — either it has no storefront there or we do not collect it yet, and neither is a statement about the game. A refusal is a refusal on one day; a store can list a title again tomorrow.

It's nothing like the first game. Not even close, but you could tell that from the trailers. Everyone buying it and complaining it isn't like the first one clearly never watched the trailers, never paid much attention. It's a lot like current RE and the Silent Hill remake and I think it works for the series. The game is fun, but it does have a couple of issues. It's definitely not as refined as the RE games but it personally didn't bother me as much. My biggest gripe is the inventory size. You run out of space so fast in this game and will be spending a good amount of time going to and from safe rooms.
Wer ein gutes Lovecraft-artiges Horror- beziehungsweise Detektivspiel mit Rätseln und so weiter sucht, der macht mit Sinking City 2 definitiv nichts falsch. Ich habe jetzt das Spiel für etwa acht Stunden gespielt und hatte bis jetzt sehr viel Spaß. Das Spiel istauch auf dem normalen Schwierigkeitsgrad durchaus herausfordernd, was vor allem durch das Ressourcenmanagement zustande kommt. Storymäßig holt es mich bis jetzt auch ab und ich bin gespannt, wie es weitergeht. Ich muss allerdings dazu sagen: Wer hier Sinking City 1 mit besseren Grafiken erwartet, der ist hier definitiv fehl am Platz. Die Möglichkeiten, sich seine Antworten in Gesprächen auszusuchen und so die Handlung zu ändern, wurde komplett entfernt. Genauso das selbstständige Aufsuchen von Tatorten, also dass man die Straße und die Nummer irgendwie herausgefunden hat und dann selbst schauen musste, wie man dahin kommt. Das gibt es auch nicht mehr. Stattdessen sind es alles separate kleinere Gebiete, in denen der Handlungsstrang ziemlich linear verläuft. Wenn das nichts für euch ist, dann lieber Finger weg. Sollte euch das allerdings nicht stören und ihr habt Bock auf ein gutes Horror-Action-Adventure, dann greift hier zu.
Bom! Muito Bom!
in spite of a literal war this game is great no spoilers, it was fun plays like a resident evil game with Lovecraft written all over it. tons to read and discover. combat is a little slow but i think that's intentional, on higher difficulty's enemy's are bullet sponges so be ready and be ready to run instead of fight. that is a legitimate Strat. to the devs i hope that any DLC will provide multiple ending possibility's. if memory serves right the original game had 3 endings, i think there is only one here. i give it 4/5
Я рідко залишаю відгуки про гру і це саме той випадок . Скажу одразу я не фанат такого жанру і в свій час намагався ознайомитись із більш відомішими представниками та дружба у нас не завелась . Однак я поціновувач в першу чергу українських робіт і готичної літератури і пройти повз цей проект просто не зміг . Після неї немає бажання піти пограти в щось подібне бо жанр все таки не мій , але ця гра справила на мене неймовірне враження і відправилась в топ улюблених ігор . Чудово поставлені , заплутаний та цікавий сюжет на дослідження та розслідування ситуації в Аркгемі , гра не лякає тебе скримерами , а лякає кожним аспектом оточення . Купа цікавих головоломок , доволі харизматичні персонажі та купа відсилок для любителів Лавкрафта , особливо мені сподобалось увага до кожної локації , кожна локація має свої цікаві міні історії , які зʼєднуються в суцільну космічну божевільщину , за що я і дуже рекомендую цю гру для проходження, задоволення я отримав уйму !
VERY GOOD
É difícil mensurar a beleza desse jogo, ainda mais considerando o contexto em que ele foi construído. É notório o carinho, a dedicação e o respeito às obras lovecraftianas. Além disso, The Sinking City 2 respeita o gênero survival horror e acrescenta a ele sua própria identidade. Diferentemente de seu antecessor, aqui o jogo é mais linear, semelhante ao que vemos na franquia Resident Evil, por exemplo, mas ainda resgata com louvor os elementos que tornaram o primeiro título tão especial. Sem spoilers... 10/10.
