Thought Frogwares was done with the development update videos for their upcoming Cthulhu mythos game The Sinking City? Not so fast! The latest video focuses on visual storytelling, with the team showing off the tricks they use to bring the visual side of the game to life. Things like using colours to indicate slipping sanity, specific lighting to mess with your head, and the ways a compromise can turn into a much more haunting execution. All of these examples are explained with gameplay footage to show the results.

In case you’re behind on watching these videos, you can check out the playlist showing the rest of them here. The Sinking City heads to PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One March 21, 2019.
