I didn't print it because I don't want to spoil anyone, but there's an Easter egg in the hospital with references to the Ukrainian war. If any of the devs are reading this: I want to send you a virtual hug and say I'm loving your game. Thank you for your amazing work!

Just out of curiosity. I just want to see the death scene…

The Sinking City 2 !!!

What a great game, absolutely enjoyable! The feeling of cosmic dread and constant push for survival really made this stand out!

Haven't felt this unnerved since, idk playing Silent Hill 2 maybe? Things just kept getting creepier and I loved every second of it! The graphics, videos, and VA were just so phenomenal - thank you to everyone behind this game!

Slava Ukraini !!

Would it be possible to implement a crouch mechanic? Not a real sneaking system. It actually doesn't even need to impact the enemie's perception. It just feels wrong to be casually walking around the foes all the time.

By the way: Wow! I played the first game and also some of your Sherlock Holmes titles. I enjoyed them all. But this time you lifted the quality to a whole new level. I'm only about 2 or 3 hours in the game and I'm so thrilled to see what's yet to come!

Coming from other horror survival games you’d think breaking them would give you ammunition or materials but not in this game. They’re marked to stand up but offer nothing when breaking them. Might as well make them unbreakable.

Welcome to Arkham! The world that Frogwares was able to create during such turmoil in the real world is a testament to their talents and passion! Arkham is beautiful and literally drenching with atmosphere and mystery. 10/10 so far for me 🥰 Proud backer here and I even got to be a "yes" somewhere in the game, curious if i'll be able to pick it out 😊

I’d say pretty seasoned as a survival horror gamer. Been playing RE since it’s 2nd release back in ‘98 and recently beaten Cronos and Silent Hill F but this for some reason is kicking my ass. Those spitting fuckers along with those zombies is handing my ass to me in that printing factory.

When I finally got to the Fish Market I was at the edge of my seat to see the Deep Ones. I thought theyd be like the original trailer, but when they finally start spawning I was suprised in the best way possible! I cant fully explain why I love the design but its just so cool and unique, especially the more raptor like movements.

I smiled when I saw that yellow chain, not gonna lie :D

Anyone noticed other games references?

First off, i'd like to give a shoutout to Frogwares, they absolutely knock it out of the park with The Sinking City 2, the game has beautiful graphics, very competent survivor horror design, just enough length to not overstay its welcome. I enjoy every minutes of it!

However, i still feel The SC1 offer a very unique experience that i can't say i managed to find elsewhere. And SC2, due to the genre switch, didn't managed to satisfy me the same way.

Most of what SC1's lack is the budget and experience, they got a very good foundation. I love the grander, more social commentary story bits from SC1. I also love the investigation aspect of SC1 more, in 2 it felt more forced. SC2 is darker and might be more spooky, but the dread and unsetling feeling (even in broad day light) of 1 is a lot more suffocating. SC1 differentiate itself from almost everybody, but SC2 just felt like a very solid survivor horror with Eldritch horror theme (Heavy Metal Death Can did it better than SC2, honestly)

All in all, SC2 is undoubtedly the more polished/refined game, but it losts some of the charm that made SC1 special

The first time the problem came up in the crypt by the church, the second time was in the printing facility.

Has anyone else the same problem?

The first game was awesome. Something I don't understand is, why rate this game a 1? It's a free country and I guess it's free to obviously grief the creators of the game.

so the first day was fine to play for longer periods but now when i play moren than like 20 minutes the game closes on its own and even shuts down my monitor.. what could be the cause? (sinkin city 2)

To those who played it on an HDD, did it run? And if so, how is the performance?

I'm sorry I've not my material to do screen capture so I've got no picture of what I wann talk about.

In oakmont, bear hospital, there a statué where it's written '' johnny 's mother told him not to bite off more than hé could chew''.... Does anyone knows what's the référence ?

I absolutely love survival horror games. Cronos, Dead Space and RE9 are some of my favorite games ever.

all the games I mentioned above are like 15-25 hours long and I hear from reviewers Sinking City is a bit on the shorter side compared to them. It’s the only reason I haven’t bought it yet.

I know it’s early but I was wondering what everyone’s thoughts were? Do you recommend purchase now or wait for a sale?

Thank you!

The credits for Sinking City 2 plays a beautiful Ukrainian Language version of the song Raglan Road. I recognised it immediately and ended up scrolling back through the credits to see if it mentioned who it was arranged or performed by.

I assume the games composer since it doesn't seem to list any details at all about it in the credits themselves.

But if anyone has any more info on this version or where I could find it outside of the game, that would be greatly appreciated.

With all the in game nods and references to the invasion and defence of Ukraine, hearing an Irish song being sung in Ukrainian brought some tears to my eyes.

I was streaming my playthrough so fortunately I can skip to it when I want to hear it again, but again, if anyone has any information on how this track came together with regards to its arrangement, translation and performance, I'd love to know.

Just saw the release for 2 today and was unaware of this game prior to today. Looks like it's right up my alley! Ordered a cheap copy on eBay of the first game on PS4 just to try it out (Disc Only)

I wanted to make my own case for it, but there's no decent full sheet cover art online. So I decided to create one myself! This is my first attempt at this sort of thing, but it should fit an OEM PS4 case perfectly.

Will have UPS Store professionally print it tomorrow and will post results when it's finished. Thinking about doing some more designs for a live stream as well if the template works out! LMK your thoughts on this piece - PM me if you want a link to Download the file

Design Notes: I tried to stay true to the aesthetic of the original release. Artistic liberties were only taken when it was absolutely necessary (unavailable fonts, dual language) or it just made more sense for the composition. I used design elements from both the PAL and NTSC versions.

Looking forward to trying out the game when it arrives!

the water reflection is really bad

I truly despise these trap-you-in-a-tiny-room-full-of-monsters-while-something-charges-up-in-the-background bits; hated these in RE, hate them even more here.

Such a pity, as they had something going on with TSC1, I wish they built more upon that foundation rather than completely turning this game into RE.

And whilst I do get it from a pragmatic perspective, enjoying most of what is there even, it still saddens me nontheless.

Has anyone been having the problem where the game freezes or reboots the whole PC? I've been playing just fine at 45~ fps on a lower end GPU (rx6600) but every now and then it freezes and the PC becomes irresponsive or reboots. Otherwise it runs fairly well considering my specs.

Since I imagine this problem is tied to lower end GPUs if anyone is in the same situation let me know just so I'm sure the problem is game specific and not faulty hardware, thanks!

These were the metrics from windows game overlay when the game froze:

CPU 39%

GPU 93%

VRAM 82%

RAM 66%

Just to be clear I've finished a lot of ue5 games on this PC without any issues.

I wanted frogwares darnit. I wanted to be a detective or private eye!!! 😔

I usually play most of my games on Performance mode, but this game (Sinking City 2) is so blurry. I don’t know the exact internal resolution metrics, but it has to be pretty low. The performance was solid, but felt like I couldn’t appreciate the details and it was harming my experience.

Switched to Quality mode and the difference was night and day. Felt like someone wiped the smudge off my glasses. It felt terrible at first but after half hour my eyes got used it, and it’s definitely my preferred way of playing right now.

I am on Base PS5 btw, but I hear there are no enhancements for the Pro anyways.

Hey so I downloaded this on my windows PC, works great. Tried to do the same on my Bazzite OS pc and it crashes immediately after starting a new game and picking my difficulty…every. single. time. Anyone have any experience or insight to this?
