Critic Reviews
The Sinking City (Xbox One) REVIEW – The Wrong Kind Of Nightmare
It’s very hard to call The Sinking City a “good game,” all things considered, but it was definitely a game worth making. Keep an eye out for future improvements and hopefully someday it’ll be a game worth playing.

There are some things that should never be found. I wish I’d known that sooner...

For fans of Lovecraftian horror, The Sinking City is filled with... fishy details and lore that is used to enrich the world that Frogwares has created. Private Investigator Charles Reed must voyage through the deepest and most disturbing parts of his mind, as well as Oakmont itself, to find a way to rid the town residents of their visions. Doing what he does best, Reed must investigate and solve crimes while battling the horrors that jump out from the dark. While it lacks a bit of polish, The Sinking City is an otherwise weird and mind-bending journey, bundled with all the ingredients for a great experience.
