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
With [b]The Sinking City 2[/b], [b]FrogWares[/b] created a title that manages to surpass the original on almost every level, turning the sequel into a very different experience in the process. While the 2019 release was focused on social interactions and Investigations, its younger sibling skips the former for a [i]Survival-Horror[/i] approach, with resource-management and combat at its core. Production values are much higher this time around and the overall gamefeel is much more polish - although a generous seasoning of jank can still be detected. Understanding the conditions under which it was developed (war in Unkraine) makes its shortcomings much easier to accept though, and the overall journey manages to be both highly enjoyable and memorable. This is probably the best [i]Lovecraftian Horror[/i] game we've had in a long while, and the man himself would have been proud of it. - [url=http://www.youtube.com/@MistaFiOth]FiOth[/url] - [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fHXhAbXl7_k]In-Depth Review[/url]

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.

This game is definitely not the sinking city 2 , it has nothing that made the first game enjoyable for me, only finished it because I bought... it has nothing from the first game, not even the story feel Lovecraftian in this...gameplay is ok but that's about it , the ending is predictable and kind of boring but ok I guess... 5/10 and I'm generous about it , they should have given it a different name , because it has 0 elements form the first game, just disappointing really... this was more like The City That Was Sunken , because compared to the first , the city is and feels lifeless....
This game is a love letter to fans of the genre. Made with the support of countless kickstarter backers, and through the literal war in Ukraine, it's clear it's a labour of love. The Sinking City 2 is similar to the Silent Hill franchise. Just as Silent Hill is a place that can be anywhere without the games being directly connected, so is the Sinking City. If you play a lot of similar detective style games and horror games, you will catch many eastereggs, imagery and callbacks. No this game isn't resident evil light, but it's obviously paying hommage to some of the most popular ones. It's linear compared to the previous game, and no multiple endings. This may throw some people, this is not a repeat of the previous game. It seems like some people really did just want the same game again. But I was excited for something different! I did miss the open map, and some of the functionality wasn't clear to me on the first playthrough until much further into the game. So it's good to look up a quick guide so you have the mechanics down. I loved the characters, their voice actors, the settings and the music. The story is very interesting. Just like the first game, I think it would lend itself well to a TV mini series adaptation! You never really see much for elderich horror these days, it's a prime candidate. The story kept me motivated. I wanted to solve the mystery. If you're not great at shooting and fighting, this game can be a real challenge. I ended up using a trainer because I just couldn't progress. But some people love that challenge. I was more motivated by story, others are more motivated by gameplay. What you think of this game will come down to what you want to get out of it. If you just want a comfortable "Sinking City" replay with a new storyline and new characters, this isn't it. If you want something fresh that takes risks, was clearly made with a lot of attention to detail and lore, then you'll enjoy it. I bought the DLC and I am excited to play that and my new game +, but I do wish there was more motivation for the new game + by way of a different ending or something. I do miss the open map and more of the side quests. There are only a few here. It was a fast game, even for a slow gamer like me. A few times the jump scares got me, and I found it at times quite unerving trying to navigate. Overall, I personally loved it. Well done to the team.

Sinking City 2, hayatta kalma korku türünü seven oyuncuların çoğunu memnun edecektir. Zor şartlarda oyunu geliştiren Ukraynalı firma Frogwares bence kısıtlı bütçe ile gayet güzel bir ürün ortaya koymuş. Resident Evil, Cronos New Dawn, Silent Hill vb. oyunları oynadıysanız büyük ölçüde aynı formül ile karşı karşıyasınız. İşte bu bazı oyuncuları memnun ederken, türde yenilik arayan oyuncular için hayal kırıklığı yaratabilir. Çünkü Frogwares herhangi bir riske girmemiş. Oyunun benzerlerinden en önemli farkı Alone in the Dark serisi gibi Cthulhu mitosu üzerine kurulu olması ve doğal olarak Lovecraftvari atmosfer sergilemesi. Sadece bu nedenden dolayı oyunu oynamayı planlıyorsanız sizi kesinlikle memnun edecektir çünkü mitosun kenarında dans etmektense Sinking City’nin hikayesi doğrudan içine dalıyor. Bir başka farkı da yukarıda saydığım oyunlar kadar yüksek cila içermemesi. Bu da doğrudan oyunun bütçesi ile ilgili, ki zaten uygun fiyatta satışa çıkmasının en büyük sebebi bu. Bahsettiğim cilasızlık özellikle ara sahnelerde karakterlerin yüz detaylarında hissediliyor. Onun dışında görsel olarak oyun gayet tatmin edici ve ben oyunla geçirdiğim yaklaşık 20 saatlik süre içerisinde herhangi bir sorun veya bug’a denk gelmedim. (Bu arada oyun içi süre olarak 13 saat sürdü ve tüm yan görevleri tamamladım, tüm mevcut toplanabilirleri temizledim) Oynanış olarak bakarsak… Combat ne çok iyi, ne de kötü diyebilirim. Düşman tasarımları iyi yapılmış ve cephane kısıtlı olduğu için stratejik ve heyecanlı savaş senaryoları sizleri bekliyor. Ancak oyundaki 3-4 savaş arenası çok kötü planlanmış ve bence oyunun en büyük eksisi bu. Hiçbir şekilde eğlenceli değildi bu kısımlar. Bunda silah ateşleme tuşu ile ayağınızla ezme tuşunun aynı yerde olmasının payı var. Bulmaca tasarımlarını ben gayet beğendim. Oyun içi ipuçları ile internete başvurmadan tüm çözümleri kendiniz bulabilirsiniz. Ayrıca ilk oyundan taşınan dedektiflik sistemi burada daha sadeleştirilmiş biçimde karşınıza çıkıyor ve bulmacaların çözümünde size destek oluyor. Ayrıca bu araştırmaları tamamlarsanız yetenek puanı ile ödüllendiriliyorsunuz. Son olarak ilk oyundan çok farklı olduğunu belirtmem lazım. Oyunun belki %90’ı hayatta kalma korku ise %10’u dedektiflik içeriyor. Ayrıca tamamen yeni karakterler olduğu ve farklı şehirde geçtiği için de (bu oyuna göre çok ilkel görünen) ilk oyunu oynamanıza gerek yok. Tek ortak yanı sanırım her iki oyunda şehirlerin sular altında kalmış olması. Puanım: 7,5/10 Artılar: -Görseller ve atmosfer -Cthulhu temalı hikaye -Bulmacalar -Heyecanlı ve taktiksel savaşlar -Düşman tasarımları -Ses efektleri -Seviye tasarımları (zekice bağlantılar ve safe house lokasyonlarının insaflı yerleşimi) -Türkçe dil desteği Eksiler: -Türe herhangi bir yenilik sunmaması -Ara sinematiklerde cila eksiği -Sürekli düşman gelen savaş arenaları -Son bölüm diğerlerine göre zayıf kalmış -Oynanış süresi biraz daha uzun olabilirdi :)
Чудова гра. Все на вискорому рівні, сюжет, графіка. Поки вс подобається. Гратиму далі.
What Hyper said. Good game, but not a sequal to The Sinking City. The "lovecraft settings" is also debatable. Things don't become lovecraftian just by stuffing fish into them, goes for zombies too.
诞生于战火中的佳作,希望制作组再接再厉,继续下一部作品的开发
Resident evili sevenler bu oyunu sever gibi daha oyunun çok başlarındayım ama beğendim NOT: Oyunla alakalı mı hiç bilmiyorum ama bu oyunu oynarken ciddi şekil de midem bulandı anlamadım
I think the shift from the boring workshop-style gameplay of the first game to a more action- and puzzle-focused experience in the second one has made the game much more exciting and engaging. The developers have handled this transition really well, and I’m genuinely enjoying playing it.
