The Sinking City

The Sinking City wants to be a game that I love, but falls short in many ways.

It's based on the Dagon story by H.P. Lovecraft, where you are an investigator trying to investigate the weird goings on of a town while having mysterious visions of your own.  What I love is that this game doesn't hold your hand in the way that's become so commonplace, you have to actually read quest information to figure out which house on the corner of such and such, and find it yourself with a map and searching archives at the newspaper and police stations for clues.

But the game is .. in a word ... boring?  It put me to sleep playing it, twice.  Maybe I'll watch a Let's Play to see what I'm missing and get back to it ...
