Infliction proves what one developer with the right instinct for atmosphere, sound and storytelling can achieve — the horror grows organically from a deeply human story, and the sound design makes the house a place you never want to return to, yet always do.

The Sinking City is a bold experiment that succeeds in many areas — the investigation mechanics are outstanding, Oakmont is a fascinatingly dark Lovecraftian world, and Frogwares has proven they can do far more than just Sherlock Holmes.

The Occupation's real-time investigative mechanic is genuinely original — but AI bugs and a punishing save system keep it from reaching its considerable potential.
