2. The Sinking City

The Sinking City Gameplay

The Sinking City is my personal favorite on this list, being that is the only one that has extensive Lovecraftian themes with a broken 1920s era setting. You play as Charles W. Reed, a private investigator inside of the gloomy city of Oakmont, Massachusetts, which has recently been struck by a massive flood, leaving much of the land beneath the rising sea level.

Strange things have begun to happen among the residence, such as insanity, eldritch mutations, and a growing trend of masochism. Abominations from beneath the flowing tides (or perhaps from another reality entirely) are being sighted all around the ruins of Oakmont. Can you uncover the dark secrets of the Sinking City?

Many of the urban streets have been flooded, with the only means of crossing them being to use motorized boats

Many of the inhabitants of the Sinking City have become mutated by the otherworldly powers there
