"ALL YOU
SNACK SL#TS AND
CHEETO TRACYS..."
The Robot Co-Op crew dives headfirst into the damp, dreary madness of The Sinking City—and quickly finds themselves in over their heads. Rick, Flux, Pickles, and Cylon try to untangle the Lovecraftian web of cults, cosmic horror, and fish-faced townsfolk, but the real horror? The janky climbing mechanics and dialogue trees that feel like they were dredged from the bottom of the bay.
Despite the soggy detective work and the uncanny valley of damp facial animations, the crew delivers peak riff energy, turning every half-baked subplot and moist plot twist into comedy gold. Can they survive the mystery, or will they be consumed by the eldritch clunk? GAME BIO: The Sinking City is a Lovecraft-inspired detective game set in the flooded town of Oakmont. Players control private eye Charles Reed as he investigates a supernatural plague and his own sanity. With open-world exploration, deduction mechanics, and a heavy atmosphere of dread, it’s less “Sherlock Holmes meets Cthulhu” and more “Scooby-Doo gets waterlogged.”
