These prejudices were and still are wrong, but have been included for an authentic depiction of that time, rather than pretend they never existed. Lovecraft, The Sinking City depicts an era in which ethnic, racial, and other minorities were frequently mistreated by society. The Sinking City even acknowledges the problems inherent in Lovecraft’s writings right from the beginning. But don’t worry if this doesn’t mean anything to you a love (or hate) for Lovecraft - or even a passing interest - isn’t required to enjoy the game, though it may help. ![]() Storylines from “Facts Concerning the Late Arthur Jermyn and His Family” and The Shadow Over Innsmouth appear as major plot points in the first few hours of the game. The game’s opening isn’t subtle about its mood, nor does it try to hide the inspiration taken from H.P. ![]() It’s this dream that sets the events of the game in motion. There is a shot of a tooth-lined maw at the bottom of the ocean. There’s a drowned town, and a gargantuan, otherworldly jellyfish-like creature floating through the sky. Oh how I wish they would just make a remaster of that instead.The Sinking City opens with a nightmare. Don't play this, play Eternal Darkness, a perfect adaptation of H.P. I should have suspected the level of wokeness when the game went exclusive to Epic for so long. What's the point of giving the player supposedly better and better weapons if those don't 1-shot weaker enemies? 4-5 shotgun blasts to take down a giant, same for rifle rounds.huh?

It's not like you can AVOID monsters, most of the time you do have to fight them and they take so many hits to go down. You run out of ammo so damn fast then have to scrounge for more. I mean, seriously, what the actual F? Oh and the gameplay is pretty clunky and just annoying. You're given stupid choices like: expose a clearly evil person part of a dark cult by poisoning the food they distribute to the poor in order to gain members or simply leaving her alone. Every checkbox is ticked here and shoved in your face: - oppressed illegal immigrants that did nothing wrong? check - rich individuals who wont share their wealth with the poor? check - charitable individuals redistributing the rich one's wealth to the poor? multiple check - secret homo relationship heavy handedly shoved as an afterthought you discover from a photo and never mentioned again? check - women's rights movement? check The game also clearly bashes you over the head with what the creators think is the correct moral decision(the PROGRESSIVE one) in each instance. ![]() Every checkbox is ticked here and shoved in your face: - The more I played, the more it devolved into pandering, progressive woke nonsense.
