The Sinking City Will Submerge You in Lovecraftian Horror
Developer Frogwarewares changes its direction with a game based on the Cthulhu Mythos
Having spent 15 years in game development, the folks at Frogwares decided it was time to approach things differently.
The upcoming horror mystery The Sinking City represents the studio’s first foray into open-world investigation. Lovecraft’s universe and the Cthulhu Mythos was felt to be ideal for this new direction.
The game will be bigger than anything the studio has released thus far. It’s been in development for awhile now, but Frogwares has only recently started sharing info about it.
The Sinking City takes place in the 1920s. You’ll become a private detective who investigates supernatural goings-on in a flooded New England city where the inhabitants are going mad. (Did I just see some tentacles?)
Frogwares: “…we’ll be doing our very best to create a complex, living, breathing Lovecraftian urban environment unlike anything else and possible only in the interactive medium of videogames.”
The Sinking City will be released on PC at a date TBD. Stay tuned for further info.
