Survive Arkham’s Lovecraftian Nightmare

Set in the Roaring ’20s, descend into a drowning Arkham. Track clues through flooded alleys, brave forbidden rites, and survive encounters with the Slither, Deep Ones, and Shoggoth. Defy an eldritch deity as you weigh one life against an entire city in a classic, story-driven survival horror from Frogwares.

The Deluxe Edition includes the base game and the Arkham Field Kit: three outfits for the main character – “The Anatomist,” “The Witness,” and “Heretic Heraldry” – three Dream Essence to learn your first Talent early, and a Resource Pack with a helpful mix of ammo, healing, and crafting items.

A survival horror in Lovecraft’s world

The Sinking City 2 is a third-person survival horror set in 1920s Arkham. Deliberate, tense, and resource-lean: pressure builds as you push deeper, relief comes in brief refuge, and fear is something you manage. Mind your inventory, take on unnerving puzzles, and double back via unlocked shortcuts for supplies and upgrades.

Arkham, New England

A Roaring ’20s port city buckling under a supernatural flood. Tide-stained avenues and battered Art Deco. Speakeasies gone dark. Districts feel lived-in and water-worn, with routes by foot and skiff, shortcuts behind collapsed seawalls, and secrets tucked in boarded parlors. You’ll navigate a hospital where science hides its face, a fish market where the merchandise bites back, and descend deep below the city to where eldritch horrors stir.

A rescue with impossible stakes

A ritual gone wrong trapped her soul in the Dreamlands, and now malevolent forces have stolen her body. To rescue the woman you love, you must walk a dangerous path through catastrophe to the source of the flood, her presence always felt but rarely seen.

Fearsome foes

The Slither animate the dead. Deep Ones surge from dark water. Shadows bend space and test nerves. Some fights must be met head-on; others may require a retreat, rearm, and retune of your build in a place of refuge. Or maybe you take on an optional investigation, and return with an upgraded gun.

Investigate at will

Exploration is the key to survival. Read ritual residues, sift through grisly clues, decode journals that shouldn’t exist, and pry at masks that won’t come off. Optional cases never gate progress, but they unlock safer routes, valuable supplies, and upgrades that increase your odds of surviving the next encounter.

Built with uncommon devotion

The Sinking City 2 draws on Frogwares’ detective roots to deliver survival horror that runs deep and hits hard. Shaped by studio obsession and community feedback, it’s a faithful Lovecraft experience: myths made manifest, and the inconceivable fear that results.

IGN

8 / 10

“While a lot of the basic mechanics and moment-to-moment survival horror of The Sinking City 2 feel inescapably like off-brand Resident Evil, it's a praiseworthy imitation of its main inspirations wrapped in the Cthulhu mythos.”

“While the first's open world outstayed its welcome, the second moved on from the city when I'd only just got my feet wet.”

Wccftech

by Chris Wray

8.5 / 10

“The Sinking City 2 is a far tighter, story-driven game - still with exploration and investigations, albeit more limited - than the original. Only really let down by the smallest of niggles, the game features excellent world-building, supported by challenging survival-horror combat and gameplay, decent exploration and puzzles, and a story that is genuinely interesting until the end, with a small but strong cast of characters. Fans of the original may be missing the open-world and detective focus, but the trade-off and direction of this stand-alone sequel feels right, and performs brilliantly.”
