Most of the streets in Oakmont are now water, but there are small boats everywhere to help get around when walking doesn't cut it. Getting around is quick and easy, depending on how you go about it. This only adds to the immersion of the game, and it truly draws you in. Other than that, it is up to the player to piece together clues in order to figure out where they need to go and who they need to find. If investigation assistance is on, it only offers the most basic help possible, but it can be turned off if one would like to experience the game entirely on their own. However, all of this is done on your own, in that the only things marked on the map are key locations such as the police station, university, et cetera, as well as infested areas. This all comes from the investigative work you do throughout Oakmont, inspecting various locations, questioning the residents, using the powers mentioned above, and more. There are several different outcomes based on the choices you make throughout play, some being a bit easier than others. Where The Sinking City truly shines, however, is in the fact that it doesn't guide you along the way. While it does provide a helpful hint here and there, it doesn't hold the player's hand. Speaking of which, I would recommend keeping investigation assistance on. Thankfully, their presence does not hinder investigations in a way that makes any given situation seem impossible as there is a good balance regardless of difficulty selected. The creatures themselves are as odd as one would expect in a Lovecraftian horror title, but they do pose a challenge and make life more difficult. A mysterious flood has ravaged the area, bringing with it a ton of unknown forces that present mysteries galore. The game is set in the fictional city of Oakmont, Massachusetts during the 1920s. Catching a pleasing sunrise might even make you forget about all of the troubles at hand, but it won't keep them at bay for long. From the decaying city to its peculiar inhabitants, both native and supernatural, the developers spared no expense at creating a beautifully detailed environment that is almost as encapsulating as the bizarre forces trying to take hold of you and everything around. For starters, The Sinking City is gorgeous in nearly every way imaginable.
