Set in the Roaring '20s, The Sinking City 2 is a survival horror steeped in Lovecraftian dread. Defy an eldritch deity and explore the drowned alleys of Arkham, stalked by the dead, as you weigh one life against an entire city.

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.

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.

Ein super cooles Spiel mit Lovecraft-Atmosphäre und -Geschichte, aber mit Resident-Evil-Gameplay. Die perfekte Mischung für alle, die mit beiden etwas anfangen können! Ich liebe es.
well polished resident evil clone, with a solid original story. really enjoyed the pumpkin jack stories, feels very lovecraftian, really enjoyed the vibe. not a big fan of the focus entertainment sherlock holmes slop , or the original sinking city for that matter, but this game feels like a step up from those titles. played on hard with no hints and it was not too bad, i dont know what people are complaining about lol lots of dodging and running around, especially in areas where you are stuck and have to fight, picking up containers with health and ammo that respawn, 9/10 polished survival horror is killing it
This great game is truly lacking a good promotional campaign in the style "when a Resident Evil-like game met with Lovecraft's dark fantasy in the atmosphere of the 1920s".
这也能特别好评？ 怪物数量不仅仅非常多（所有难度都一样），经常会从视觉盲区进攻，而且还有大量的远近配合，战斗AI写的纯纯一坨屎。每只怪物的攻击欲望非常强，在其守卫区域，即使视觉内不存在玩家也会疯狂进攻。 背包检测系统配合上述怪物数量，永远让我处于子弹刚刚好够几颗的状态，这种糟糕的体验持续了整个周目，玩弄玩家很开心么？可以做检测，但是不能永远在检测啊？为什么小怪也要检测？我子弹多了，你就狂刷小怪。正确的做法难道不是小怪少量消耗，boss大量消耗么？ 其次就是接近中后期，还弄个生化危机2的暴君，根本打不死还会持续追踪玩家。2026年了还在搞这种垃圾体验，真的服了。 我一开始打的是最高难度，以为能给我充足的战斗体验，但越打越感觉恶心。每个加载点的交互，男主角也是慢的要死，而且每个场景通过之后，线索（也就主要强化点的手段）全部清零，且无法回退。大哥，我不是已经找到证据放在我的背包里了么？虽然我在下个场景，但是你把收集物给我清了，是不是有点蠢了? 打到后面，我只想赶紧结束折磨，我永远不会再打开了。垃圾游戏！！！！！
Having recently finished the first Sinking City shortly before the sequel was released, I have to state the obvious: they are very different games. I enjoyed both for different aspects, and both have their strengths and weaknesses. If you are expecting a more polished take on the original you will be disappointed, but if you meet it on its own terms you'll probably dig it. The Sinking City 2 is very much a RE2make-like, and if you go in knowing that, you will likely have a good time. There is some slavish devotion to convention that feels a bit unnecessary (I'm looking at you, "stalker"-type enemy in the hospital), but overall it's an enjoyable addition to the genre. If we ever see a third entry, I would personally love for some hybrid of the two games, and for the default outfit not to be a leather jacket.
Lovecraft meets Resident Evil! Wer eines der beiden Franchises mag, solltte zuschlagen. Braucht sich nicht definitiv nicht vor RES zu verstecken. Technisch auch alles einwandfrei.
Fait hommage au resident evil de ce monde !
