The Sinking City could be well served with some kind of lock on mechanism so that the gamer is not flailing around during a confrontation. I found myself in peril often and in need of quick response and the system available was slow and inaccurate. In a game where ammunition is scarce, this can be an issue.
One drawback I felt the game had was the fighting mechanics. The Sinking City offers a Mind Palace where you collect your thoughts on the case to form your conclusions This also kept me organized and focused in the open world. I really enjoyed these mechanics and felt they helped me feel as if I was playing an active part as a detective. You have to match thoughts together until they become cohesive and build out the story. Here you compile the larger theories on the case to form your final conclusions. The prior tab is called: The Mind Palace. When you unlock a location it will show up on the map and will turn green when you have collected all the pertinent information in that spot. The clues will point you to different people and places in Oakmont. To break down the process, you collect information from the field such as letters, artifacts, interviews, and evidence and it is stored in your casebook.

Collecting information in the field goes into your casebook to organize each case Because The Sinking City is one hell of an investigation game.

My initial thoughts were very lukewarm on the game and that may be attributed to my passion for Lovecraftian lore. Throw in a healthy dose of xenophobic tribalism and murder and you have a lot of drama on your hands to investigate.Ī few months ago I reviewed Call of Cthulhu by Focus Home Interactive. Oakmont has recently suffered a massive flood which has put parts of the town underwater as well as unleashing ancient demi-gods. Reed must solve several cases for the townsfolk of Oakmont while in search of the reason behind his own personal nightmares. The Sinking City‘s aesthetics and world are inspired by the fictional lore of horror writer H.P. Reed visiting the town of Oakmont, Massachusetts in 1920s America. The Sinking City is a third-person Action/Adventure, where you play as Detective Charles W.
