GameTech: Plumb the depths of adventure

Sometimes, you get that sinking feeling when playing a game. Other times, a game floats your boat immediately. The Sinking City is one of those rare experiences that might just do both.

Yet another game based on the works of HP Lovecraft and his Cthulhu Mythos, The Sinking City isn’t just soaked in water — it’s drenched in atmosphere too. Primarily an adventure game, it takes place in the weird and twisted city of Oakmont, where the inhabitants and their stories create most of the entertainment. From oddball cults to a librarian with her mouth sewn shut, the people of Oakmont are a crew well worth visiting.
