00:05I severed my eyes from the nerve, and as they died in their sockets, I introduced the slither.
00:11Now, alien and arcane worlds of old sing to me from the page.
00:16As a translator, it has been absolutely...
00:19What is this? What are you up to?
00:22Welcome to Arkham, a once-bustling city on the American East Coast,
00:27and now rotting away from a mysterious flood.
00:31Attention citizens of Arkham, this is your final notice.
00:37The ocean rose without warning, and those who did not leave, the faithful and the trap,
00:43have been taken by the cosmic cataclysm.
00:47Tempting me, whispering sweet nothings.
00:55You play as Calvin Rafferty, an occult adventurer and a seeker of truth.
01:01Calvin's soulmate, Faye Bennett, faded into a twilight state after they both set foot beyond the veil.
01:09Now there is nothing we won't do to bring her back, no matter who stands in his way.
01:16Oh, please, darling, just set me free.
01:19I haven't felt the seas embrace for days and days.
01:22My skin is a nightmare.
01:25Sorry, he has something I need.
01:28I am all you need.
01:30You'd really give up a gal like me?
01:33I'd give up everything for her.
01:35Before the Flood, Arkham was home to several important landmarks.
01:40The Miskatonic University, the Akeley Memorial Hospital, the Fish Market, the Devil's Reef Hotel, and more.
01:48Today, the city is a shell of its former self, abandoned, decrepit, and perilous.
01:56The water rises a little more every day.
02:01A nap.
02:02Now we can get our bearings.
02:04Each location you'll explore offers a hallmark survival horror experience.
02:09Doors that won't budge.
02:11You are not the best case.
02:13Interconnected hallways.
02:14What is happening?
02:16These are our things.
02:18How?
02:19And, of course, save rooms that seem to exist beyond our world.
02:24How did you do that?
02:25You vanished?
02:27The Sinking City 2 blurs the line between survival horror and investigation.
02:33Here, investigation is survival.
02:42Ammo is scarce.
02:48Monsters are strong.
02:49So, do not skip the clues you find.
02:51They will help solve a puzzle, unlock inventory slots, give insight into the surrounding madness, or reward you with a
02:59second chance when the fight turns.
03:09No, not today.
03:12No, not today.
03:13No, not today.
03:14No, not today.
03:32But, rewards are not the only reason to investigate.
03:36The most eldritch mysteries in Arkham stay buried until you dig them out.
03:50However, no amount of clues will save you from a fight you can't avoid.
04:01Arkham is infested with Lovecraftian monstrosities.
04:04Deformed shapes, razor-sharp fangs, and masquerading dead.
04:15The Slither.
04:17Foul worms that arrived at the Flood.
04:20Now they're everywhere.
04:22Each monster has its own strengths and weaknesses, and you will need to use Kalvin's entire toolset to deal with
04:28it.
04:32Land a precise shot to stun.
04:35Time your punch to buy a few seconds to reload.
04:40Dodge a charge and leave the enemy open for a stomp.
04:45Use environmental hazards for a group kill.
04:54Though some things don't die on the first try.
04:57Stomp what crawls out if you don't want the dead to come back.
05:08Damn worms.
05:12Visceral survival horror.
05:14Otherworldly Lovecraftian design.
05:17Mysteries worth digging for.
05:19Set foot into Drowned Arkham on August 18th, when The Sinking City 2 arrives on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox
05:26series.
