The Sinking City 2 officially announced!
Hey everyone, we are incredibly happy to officially unveil The Sinking City 2, a story-rich survival-horror game, set in Lovecraftian 1920s United States.
TSC2 takes place in the infamous city of Arkham, now plagued by a supernatural flood that has brought decay and Eldritch monsters to its streets. In the Sinking City 2, you will face numerous eldritch abominations in combat, explore a rotting city as the rising waters change the landscape, and discover what dark mysteries brought you to this forsaken place. The game will feature a new, stand-alone story separate from the one told in the original game. TSC2 is also coming to Kickstarter soon. Why? To implement new features we currently don’t have the resources for: insanity mechanic, extra boss fights etc. And more importantly, because of the war.
Follow the title to get notified when it launches:
https://kck.st/49CIBVR TSC2 is a pivotal moment for us. It's a new genre - survival horror - and new tech, UE5. We’re an independent studio known for detective games. But we need to make bolder moves. The industry's changing & we want to secure our future. Quite the challenge, especially in a warzone. So please, consider supporting us on Kickstarter when it goes live and don't forget to wishlist the game on Steam!
The old version of The Sinking City soon to be removed
Hey everyone,
we remind you that there are two days left before we remove the old version of The Sinking City from Steam. After that, you will be able to play only the new version.
Please remember that your old saves aren’t compatible with the new version, so if you want to finish your old version walkthrough — this is your last call.
For those of you who want to play the new version without having to start from scratch, we've prepared saves to download. More details on this in the F.A.Q.
The Sinking City - Latest Version Available Now
Hello, everyone!
We are happy to announce that the latest version of the Sinking City is out now on Steam, free for all existing owners. Please keep in mind that your old saves aren’t compatible with this version, but you can keep playing the old one until Feb 28, 2024.
All the owners of the Necronomicon edition will get the DLC for free. It will be released within 24 hours. Due to certain limitations, we were forced to add the DLC directly to the Investigator Pack, rather than as separate items.
For all the questions that may arise please refer to our updated F.A.Q. https://steamcommunity.com/app/750130/discussions/0/4031350783732136950/
The Sinking City | New version F.A.Q.
Hey everyone,
As we've mentioned before, we will soon release a new version of The Sinking City - free for existing owners - that comes with all the latest bug fixes and optimizations as well as a few things to keep in mind:
Due to a number of technical reasons, your old saves won't be compatible with the new version.
Please read the F.A.Q. to learn more about what's coming and how it may affect you.
Q. What's included inside the new version of The Sinking City? A. The new version includes the bugfixes and optimizations previously released for the game on other platforms. Essentially, it's a patch. The reason we are calling it a new version is to emphasize the fact that it will exist alongside the current version for some time.
Q. When is this new version coming? A. We don't have the exact date, but aiming for mid January.
Q. Is this new version going to be free for everyone? A. Yes.
Q. Will my saves work with the new version? A. No.
Q. But what if I don't want to lose all my progress and start a new game when the new version is released? A. We're keeping the current version until February 28th, 2024. When you launch the game from Steam, you will see this window.
From there, you can choose the version you want to play.
Q. But I want to play the new version without having to start from scratch. A. We will prepare saves for you to download and continue your playthrough in the new version. However, since these are our saves, we won’t be able to match your previous progress 100%, so please expect some of your previous choices, inventory items and skills to be different.
Q. Are there any visual enhancements or gameplay updates in this new version? A. No. That’s not to say we are not considering it in the future.
Q. Will the new version affect the game's system requirements? A. No.
Q. Do you also plan to release the DLC that is available on other platforms? A. Yes we are planning to release all 3 DLC (Merciful Madness, Chicago Organ Grinder and XP Boost).
Q. Will the owners of the Necronomicon edition get the DLC for free? A. Yes. There are certain store limitations but we believe we have found a way to grant the DLC to the owners of the Necronomicon edition. More on this later.
Q. Are you planning to sell this DLC (Chicago, MM and XP) separately? A. Yes.
Q. Is this DLC going to work with the existing version of the game? A. No.
Q. If I bought the DLC that is available now (Worshippers of the Necronomicon, Investigator Pack), will it work with the new version of the game? A. Yes.
Q. I previously bought the game as a standalone build on Gamesplanet, will I be granted a Steam key as well for free? A. We are looking into it - more on this later.
Q. Are you adding new store functionality with the new release? A. Yeah, we are planning to add Trading cards and cloud saves.
