A decayed Arkham, built for exploration
Arkham is in ruins after a devastating flood. With a semi-open world design, exploration is key—no minimaps, no hand-holding. Navigate by foot or boat, uncover hidden paths, and piece together the city’s eerie secrets.
Survival-focused combat
- Limited resources & period-authentic weapons – Careful aiming and resource management are crucial.
- Horrors – Face unpredictable, reimagined Mythos creatures.
- Strategic encounters – Learn enemy weaknesses and adapt to survive.
- New perks – Unlock abilities that match your playstyle.
A more flexible investigation system
- Choose your approach – Gather every clue or rely on intuition.
- No rigid puzzles – Progress without being blocked by missing details.
A story of madness and obsession
The survivors of Arkham in The Sinking City 2 aren’t just victims—they have secrets, motives, and hidden agendas. Inspired by Lovecraft, the narrative blurs the lines between truth, deception, and sanity.
Support the game
Despite developing under the hardships of war, Frogwares is determined to bring The Sinking City 2 to life. Kickstarter funding will expand the game’s scope and support the team. The campaign is live now—backing it means helping both the project and its creators.
