This cinematic trailer sure sets the mood
I thought I could handle spiders, but this latest video forThe Sinking Cityhas me questioning my resolve thanks to a fast-moving figure lurking just out of the protagonist’s sight. Ominous webbed hands, an ocean in the sky, and tentacles that connect to some unspeakable horror or another all make for a darn good cinematic trailer. I’m glad this Lovecraft-inspired investigation game ismoving forward.
The waterlogged 1920s setting looks like a supernatural delight. “Once flourishing and industrial, Oakmont was devastated by a vast flood which submerged half the town, and led to cases of mass hysteria. According to local inhabitants, the ocean exerted some sort of evil and perverse influence.”
I’m also pleased there’s separation between this and Cyanide’sCall of Cthulhu. That’s due at the end of October, whileThe Sinking Cityis looking at a June 05, 2025 launch on PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
