The Sinking City is a Lovecraft-inspired survival horror game set in the 1920s, developed by Ukrainian studio Frogwares. Originally released back in 2019 on PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC, it later made its way to PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. It’s one of those games I always meant to check out—I’d heard great things—but between life and the nonstop wave of game releases, it just slipped through the cracks.
Fast forward to 2024, and Frogwares announced The Sinking City 2, followed shortly by a Kickstarter campaign to help bring the sequel to life. That was the spark I needed to finally go back and give the original a shot. But again, last year was a tsunami of massive game launches, and with all the coverage I had to write, I just couldn’t find the time.
Thankfully, Frogwares hit us with a surprise: The Sinking City Remastered, announced in March 2025 as part of the sequel’s Kickstarter. And even better, they released it not long after. So now, I finally have a solid excuse (and a better version) to dive into the original game.
