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.

Reviews
An excellent survival horror somewhat marred by the combat and enemy encounters. In short, the main character is way too slow and cumbersome for some setpiece battles with many enemies in small-ish areas. Also ammo is scarce, which is should in a survival horror, but maybe a bit too scarce so you have to resort fighting melee a lot, but melee combat is pretty gnarly and not very fun. Otherwise - the art direction, the sound, the story, atmosphere, characters, all absolutely top notch.
Дуже чекав The Sinking City 2 і навіть підтримав гру на Kickstarter, бо справді люблю першу частину. На жаль, це велике розчарування. Перша гра брала атмосферою, параноєю, розслідуваннями, діалогами й відчуттям, що ти ніколи до кінця не розумієш, що відбувається. Тут же я отримав майже Resident Evil у лавкрафтівських декораціях: збери це, знайди ключ, відкрий дамбу, постріляй у монстрів, повернись назад. Можливо, це непоганий survival horror. Але для мене це дуже поганий The Sinking City.

14 of 15 markets; the rest we haven't asked for this title, not markets where it is unavailable.
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.

THIS GAME IS AWESOME period, if you like horror games like resident evil its right up your ally, make sure you get the mansion dlc too, hopefully they make another dlc for the game
Gutes Spiel mit einer echt schönen Grafik. Die Waffen fühlen sich gut an und die Story passt auch perfekt zum Setting. Nur das Gameplay-Design ist teilweise etwas ermüdend mit größeren Bereichen, die man sich Tür für Tür erschließen muss und etwas "künstlich" wirken.
I just finished my first playthrough of The Sinking City 2 and I absolutely loved it. I have played the first one and while I enjoyed it, the sequel just slaps so much more. Yes they have downplayed the investigation parts which some people dislike but I think it was the right direction for the sequel's vibe and story. It focuses more on the survival horror aspect kond if like Reaodent Evil 2 as others have mentioned. The combat is pretty great in my opinion, plays a lot like Silent Hill 2 remake with the shooting/melee/dodge more so than an RE game. I've seen some reviews take issue with it but it's pretty great once you get the hang of it. Ibwas tense and challenged the whole way through the game, I loved it. The game really picks up a few hours in after you leave the flooded streets and start focusing on various locations. The story is good and the ending was perfect. This is a great game, excellent survivor horror and everyone who is a fan of the genre should play it. Don't let any negative reviews with an hour or two of playtime deter you, this game is a gem.
Last game was 80/20 open world adventure vs survival horror. This one is 100% survival horror. Story's good, but I was one of the few who actually enjoyed the pulpy adventure feel of the first one.
Kedves Nyomozó társaim, ha ezt a bejegyzést olvassátok valószínűleg túléltem a tébolyt és megpróbáltatásokat. Számomra nagyon tetszett a játék, amely telis-tele van Lovecrafti utalásokkal. Mint a Lovecrafti világ rajongója nagyon vártam már a második részt, amely nem okozott csalódást. (Call of Cthulhu roleplay, Arkham Horror boardgames, Mansions of Madness stb..-ek szoktunk játszani) Én pozitívan éltem meg a harcrendszer változtatását és a kicsit lineárisabb történet mesélést. (Resident Evil szériát is nagyon szeretem és a hasonló horrorokat) Nem egyszer kerültem, olyan helyzetbe, hogy lőszer hiányában átkellett gondolnom a taktika váltást és alkalmazkodtam a játék menetéhez. Azok, akik szeretnek mindent összegyűjteni a térkép sok segítséget ad és a new game+-os dolgokon kívül, segítség nélkül mindent össze szedtem első neki futásra. Remélem segítséget nyújtott az értékelésem és kedvet kapott több jövőbeli Nyomozó is, hogy bele vesse magát ezen világ rejtelmeibe.
Naprosto skvělá hororovka ve stylu Resident Evil
Świetny klimat i dość wysoki poziom trudności. Podoba mi się pomimo przesunięcia rozgrywki w kierunku akcji. A zagadki nadal są i to całkiem niezłe.
