The Sinking City 2

2026 Frogwares

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.

92 /100

The Sinking City 2 markets itself as a third-person survival horror in Lovecraftian Arkham, emphasizing fear, vulnerability, survival pressure, and investigation as the core gameplay loop. Horror is not incidental; its mood, threats, and mechanics drive progression and player experience. While it includes detective work and exploration, removing horror would fundamentally alter the play experience.
