The trailer showcases elements about main character Charles W. Reed’s mental state, his interactions around the city of Oakmont, and the game’s unsettling Lovecraftian atmosphere
Charles W. Reed is a private investigator in New England in the 1920s. Tortured by both his past and by otherworldly visions, he finds himself in Oakmont, Massachusetts, seeking salvation from the creeping insanity that afflicts him. The city of Oakmont was once a trade harbor known for its lucrative smuggling business, but now it survives in quiet isolation from the rest of the world. In this place of decay and superstition, players will have to deal with the dregs of mankind, follow clues they will wish they had never uncovered, and unveil a cosmic horror that threatens the world itself.
The Sinking City promises wonderfully atmospheric scenes, the better to enable your regular nightmares.
The Sinking City is set for release on March 21st, 2019 on PC, Sony PlayStation®4, and Microsoft Xbox One. Players interested in keeping up-to-date with news about the game should check out the official Facebook, Twitter, and Youtube channels.
