Frogwares’ The Sinking City was rough around the edges, but it shone with a genuine appreciation for its Lovecraftian lore, despite a cosmic horror-style litigation fracas which saw the developer fighting their publisher over control of the game. The Sinking City 2, due to release later this year, is free of these legal travails, though as a game developed by a Ukranian team in the midst of Russia’s invasion, real-world politics have once again provided a backdrop for eldritch horror.
