The Sinking City (Video Game)

The Sinking City is an action-adventure video game developed and published by Frogwares in 2019.
==Summary==
Former U.S. Navy sailor turned private investigator Charles Winfield Reed travels to the largely unknown town of Oakmont, Massachusetts to investigate the nightmarish visions he has been experiencing, after correspondences with a resident of that town, Johannes van der Berg, promising answers. There he discovers the town to be in great tumult, as not only is the town flooded and experiencing an influx of refugees from the recently destroyed town of Innsmouth, but also an incursion of otherworldly creatures brought in with the rising tides.
In the course of his investigation, Reed discovers that some of the occult factions within Oakmont are attempting to unseal the sunken temple of Cthygonnaar, which imprisons Cthylla, in an effort to bring about the awakening of Cthulhu.
==Characters==
* Charles Reed - A WW1 veteran turned private detective who sails to Oakmont to investigate missing persons as well as his own tortured dreams. He provs to be the key to either restarting the Cthulhu Cycle or unleashing Cthulhu's daughter.
* Johannes van der Berg - A wealthy patron and associate of Charles Reed who is actually an avatar of Hastur and attempting to bring about the end of the world. He frames Charles for his murder at one point.
* Robert Throgmorton - A half-ape man similar to Arthur Jermyn that is one of the wealthiest and most powerful individuals in Oakmont. He is direly opposed to the Innsmouthers and Esoteric Order of Dagon. His son was recently murdered.
* Ebernote Blackwood - A Deep One human hybrid that has turned against his fellow Blackwoods and the Esoteric Order of Dagon because he was passed over for carrying the Dreamer's Seed.
* Cthylla - The daughter of Cthulhu that is imprisoned beneath Oakmont. She is attempting to influence Reed into releasing her so that she can bring about the end of the world.
==Trivia===
The protagonist, Charles Reed, has a background that suggests that his character is based on the unnamed protagonist from Dagon. The similarities to that character include:
* Served as a naval officer during World War I.
* Got stranded at sea. His ship was attacked and he escaped in a life boat, eventually getting lost.
* He awoke on a small island not found in any map, and theorized that it may have recently emerged from volcanic activity.
* He found horrors, ruins and a creature (Dagon, a Deep One) in that island.
* His rescuers didn't believe his tales and dismissed him as delirious.
* Since the incident, he's been haunted by horrific visions.
* He's addicted to morphine (laudanum, in Reed's case).
