Frogwares just launched their Kickstarter for The Sinking City 2. So, if you want to see a sequel to this somewhat odd Lovecraftian third-person survival horror game, now is the time to invest. I enjoyed The Sinking City for the most part. However, I felt they totally fumbled the ending, coming off as pretty weak and linear. Also, having to run defense for Innsmouthers in the middle of the story felt strange and very forced. I guess, the lure of good-boy points by the press was too tempting, but it didn’t work at all for the narrative. Anti-racism only goes that far, after all. Here is the trailer:
If they leave modern politics behind them, and try not to insert it into a Lovecraftian tale, The Sinking City 2 looks like it could be an atmospheric mystery survival horror. At the writing of this article, they are already at 75% completed, so the project will no doubt be financed. Now, we wait to see how many bonuses will be included.
