Frogwares’ The Sinking City brought Lovecraftian dread to us in its mixture of detective gameplay and cosmic horror based narrative. The game released to fairly solid reviews, making it a good midrange title to get into. It’s ramping up to be on Nintendo’s system pretty soon, and we got our first look at it today.
The developer released the first gameplay footage of the game running on the Switch, which you can see below. There’s some obvious cutbacks, which you would come to expect considering the hardware gap, but it’s nothing too startlingly and seems to run pretty well. There’s even a few before and after shots in the video for direct comparison, and it’s not too shabby at all. We also know the Switch version will get several new features specific to that hardware.
The Sinking City is available now for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. No word yet on when the Switch version will hit, but we should know soon.
