In his quest to find answers to his predicament, he utilises his skills as an investigator in order to help out the locals around the town, locals who wouldn’t look out of place in a zoo or a circus of ‘Freaks’… The citizens of Oakmont don’t take kindly to ‘Newcomers’ so you must build up their trust by completing mundane tasks such as finding a letter, investigating a robbery, or taking out giant mutated creatures which have mercilessly infested local homes – you know, the usual jobs a P.I. However, little did he know that his issues would be the least of his worries as he disembarks upon the dock of this foul, infested land. He has been summoned to the real Oakmont, by Johannes van der Berg, in order to find the source behind these disturbing dreams, dreams which the locals are also having. To put it simply, Charles Reed, our protagonist, has been haunted by strange visions of Oakmont and disturbing beasts which reside within the ocean.
Lovecraft inspired game often does, you’re a private investigator who has travelled to a small island in search of answers behind a paranormal occurrence. Set in the 1920s, The Sinking City starts off as any standard H.P. There’s a lot of monkey business going on in Oakmont! We’ve also recently reviewed the game on the PS5 HERE – this is an enhanced version.
You see, the Nintendo Switch version of the game isn’t only feature-complete in terms of both the base game and the optional DLC, but it also has a few new pieces of content which aren’t present on the PC, PS4 or Xbox One versions! So, how does this hybrid home console/portable version stack up against its bigger brothers? Is it worth double-dipping or is this a game only new consumers to the title should pick up? Let’s take a look… So, when given the opportunity to check out the same game over on the Nintendo Switch, how could I refuse? Just how could the developers take an open-world adventure game and make it run on Nintendo’s lower-end hardware? Surely there has to be some compromises and removed content?Ĭompromises, yes – removed content, quite the opposite. A few months ago I took a look at The Sinking City on the PlayStation 4 – a mysterious action-adventure game from Frogwares, the developers mainly known for their investigative Sherlock Holmes games.
