Sinking City faced a turbulent history due to a legal dispute between the game’s developer and publisher. As a result, the original version was removed from digital stores. However, after regaining the rights last year, the developers released an updated version featuring extensive bug fixes, optimizations, and expanded availability on additional platforms beyond PC.
Now, after a year of overcoming those challenges, the sequel to Sinking City is closer than ever. Its Kickstarter campaign was a resounding success, reaching full funding within just a few days.
What Can Players Expect from the Sequel?
Building on the foundations of the first game, this sequel promises a deeper, more immersive horror experience:
- Fully Explorable Arkham – Navigate a haunting city filled with flooded streets, eerie silence, and dark secrets. Traverse its haunting landscapes on foot or by boat as you uncover long-forgotten horrors.
- A Rich, Atmospheric Narrative – Experience a world steeped in despair, isolation, and hidden truths. Every survivor has a story to share—or conceal.
- Revamped Combat & Survival Mechanics – Engage in tense battles with era-accurate weapons, a new perk system, crafting, and resource management to heighten the survival horror experience.
- Enhanced Investigation System – No hand-holding or forced clue-hunting. Solve mysteries organically and unlock new paths based on your choices.
