The Sinking City 2 is a survival horror game that is being developed and published by video game developer Frogwares. Frogwares is based in Kyiv, Ukraine, and has done games like Sherlock Holmes The Awakened, Magrunner: Dark Pulse, Dracula: Origins, and much more.  The Sinking City 2 is a sequel to another game Frogwares developed called The Sinking City. The game The Sinking City was launched in 2019.

Survival Horror game The Sinking City 2 takes place in the “Lovecraftian 1920s United States” within “the Infamous city of Arkham”. The City of Arkham is “plagued by a supernatural flood” that brings along “decay and Eldritch monsters to its streets”. In the game, you will be facing many “eldritch abomination” within “combat, explore a rotting city as the rising waters change the landscape, and discover what dark mysteries brought you to this forsaken place”. Here are the features of The Sinking City 2:

• Fight to Survive: Use an arsenal of 1920s-inspired firearms and melee weapons to fight against Eldritch-inspired admonitions.
• Explore The Decaying City of Arkham: A semi-open world of decaying mansions, flooded markets and abandoned hospitals. As you progress the flood waters will rise, changing the layout of locations when you return.
• Find and Use What You Can: Scrounge for limited resources and balance a finite inventory as you decide what to bring and what to leave behind
• Choose to Investigate Further: Solve optional puzzles that let you investigate your surroundings deeper to uncover secrets, alternate options, and more lore
• A Twisted Lovecraftian Tale: Experience a morally grey and captivating story set around the Lovecraft mythos of cults, mutant creatures and incomprehensible gods

According to the statement that Frogwares put out about The Sinking City 2 the Kickstarter campaign will be launching “in a few months”, however the exact date for the launch is unknown at the moment. Frogwares said that with Ukraine being “in a state of war” they have decided to look to “Kickstarter to create a safety net for the studio as well as help secure some additional features for the game”. Here is what the CEO of Frogwares Wael Amr had to say:

“At this stage, we have learned and adapted to our reality but the ongoing war adds an ominous layer of uncertainty, and the additional funds will help us deal with potential disruptions on top of helping fund various extra features we would love to implement. Our previous game, Sherlock Holmes The Awakened, was fully developed and released during the war. Through Kickstarter and our supporters, we built ourselves a safety net that saved us more than once. From power cuts as our electrical infrastructure was targeted for months to the need for team members to relocate at very short notice, this financial safety net proved invaluable to us. So we need to do the same now with The Sinking City 2 as this game is vastly bigger and more complex. “ – Wael Amr, CEO, Frogwares
