Frogwares Reveals Lovecraftian Open-World Horror Game ‘The Sinking City’
Well, shoot. I done goof’d. A few weeks back, I wrote about a new Call of Cthulhu game from Blood Bowl developer Cyanide Studios, which I mistook for the Call of Cthulhu game Frogwares announced two years ago. That was a hasty assumption on my part, and I apologize for that.
Frogwares still has a Lovecraftian horror game in the works, and they’re calling it The Sinking City.
The game promises to bring the Sherlock Holmes developer’s penchant for investigating things to the exciting and often unpredictable realm of open-world horror. Frogwares isn’t ready to share a release window or which platforms it’ll come to — it was previously announced for PC, PS4 and Xbox One — but they’re confident it’ll be “bigger than what we’ve ever made.”
Set in Massachusetts in the 1920s, The Sinking City follows a private investigator as he works to uncover the source of a seemingly supernatural flooding before it consumes the city.

‘Dead Mail’ Exclusive Images: SXSW Horror Movie Begins With a Blood-Stained Postal Box Delivery
One of the genre films we’re looking forward to checking out at SXSW this year is Dead Mail, written and directed by Joe DeBoer and Kyle McConaghy and premiering on March 9.
Meagan Navarro will be reviewing Dead Mail for Bloody Disgusting as part of her SXSW coverage, and she writes in her preview for the upcoming fest: “Dead Mail leans heavily into the ’80s analog aesthetic, delivering a unique crime thriller unafraid to get offbeat with its dark narrative. Expect its characters to be as atypical as Dead Mail‘s sense of style.”
In the SXSW 2024 horror film…
“On a desolate, Midwestern county road, a bound man crawls towards a remote postal box, managing to slide a blood-stained plea-for-help message into the slot before a panicking figure closes in behind him. The note makes its way to the county post office and onto the desk of Jasper, a seasoned and skilled “dead letter” investigator, responsible for investigating lost mail and returning it to its sender. As he investigates further, Jasper meets Trent, a strange yet unassuming man who has taken up residence at the men’s home where Jasper lives.
“When Trent unexpectedly shows up at Jasper’s office, it becomes clear he has a vested interest in the note, and will stop at nothing to retrieve it…”
Sterling Macer, Jr., John Fleck, Susan Priver, Micki Jackson, Tomas Boykin, and Nick Heyman star in Dead Mail. Preview the film with an exclusive image gallery below.
