LovecraftвЂ™s work is full of thinly veiled metaphors and outright bigotry and The Sinking City uses his racist and xenophobic anxieties as the raw material for a video game about facing existentially dread and the (often racist and xenophobic) evil people do to each other. Most video games avoid the topic of LovecraftвЂ™s racism, The Sinking City tackles it head on. And he wasnвЂ™t shy about sharing that opinion. His profound ignorance of any group that wasnвЂ™t straight, white, and male caused him to be terrified to the point of hate. The Old Ones and Elder Gods, those incomprehensible space deities of LovecraftвЂ™s mythos, are absent or indifferent. ThereвЂ™s no good or evil in The Sinking City, only competing interests and agendas. ThereвЂ™s no justice system at work, the police arenвЂ™t coming to help you, and the truth often doesnвЂ™t matter. Lovecraft, then forces you to make judgement calls based on your investigation. It asks you to solve mysteries in a world based on the works of H. Charles Reed is the gameвЂ™s protagonist, a WWI veteran and Navy diver who survived the Great War only to come home plagued by strange visions. The Sinking City is an open-world detective game from developer Frogwares.

Enter into this mess a private detective whoвЂ™s come to town looking for answers to the strange visions that keep him from getting a good nightвЂ™s sleep.
