The Sinking City trusts players to a refreshing degree. Tonally, it mixes in a strong sense of film noir with Reed's fedora and tired eyes questioning townspeople all across the game's impressively large open world along with a soundtrack that features a slow-crawling bass setting the mood of a town that is as corrupt as it is flooded. Immediately, this Lovecraftian horror feels unique from the others we've seen recently. Reed shares these visions as well, and his personal stake in the phenomenon is pivotal to the story. As Bostonian private eye Charles Reed, players will arrive on the fictional coastal town of Oakmont, Massachusetts to investigate a string of strange visions being reported. The investigative elements are front and center and they're the game's best feature by far. Frogwares is best known for their long history with the Sherlock Holmes series and that really comes through in The Sinking City.
