The Sinking City is an adventure and investigation game set in an open world inspired by the universe of H.P. Lovecraft, the master of Horror. The half-submerged city of Oakmont is gripped by supernatural forces.

- High replay value thanks to an open investigation system: each case can be solved in a number of ways, with different possible endings depending on your actions.
