126A NEAT ATMOSPHERE
Charles Reeds is a World War I veteran. Still traumatized by the horrors seen in the fighting, the man however chose not to remain inactive and endorsed the private investigator's odd. However, daily life is not rosy and the investigator is plagued by nightmarish visions which inexorably push him towards the coastal town of Oakmont. The village is home to a population gradually falling into madness following a flood as sudden as it is abnormal. Citizens share Reeds' visions and the detective will have to try to explain the sources of his hallucinations just like those of the residents of Oakmont.

While it does not succeed in everything it sets out, The Sinking City remains a game that does not lack character. Of course, we would have liked a freer investigation than the one we had been promised, much better controlled fights or a more solid technique. However, there remains a well-crafted, interesting title, which manages to leave at least the illusion of autonomy for the investigator that you will be, and who knows how to be surrounded by a heavy atmosphere and a careful writing leaving make way for choices that matter. A good surprise.
