Chatting with Frogwares Marketing Manager Sergey Oganesyan, he talks about some of the challenges the team faced and elaborates on how Unreal helped alleviate some of the biggest headaches.
Using skills they honed while developing the Sherlock series, the team at Frogwares improved upon their foundation while incorporating similar mechanics to a new setting. Charles’ efforts to save the besieged city might just save his own frail psyche in the process. Uncovering the truth behind the city’s troubles, he finds supernatural forces at work. With no cure in-sight, he strides even further toward insanity in the half-submerged city of Oakmont, Massachusetts. Taking place in the 1920s, investigator Charles Reed struggles with the realization that he’s slowly losing his mind. Recently making its arrival on the Nintendo Switch as well, The Sinking City takes all the detective work from Sherlock yet places those mechanics in the eerie world of H.P. New purchases of The Sinking City can still be made that are DRM-free for the PC on the Frogwares website, or through Origin, Gamesplanet, and the Nintendo Switch eShop.By Shawn Petraschuk The Sinking City, from developer Frogwares, who is most notably recognized for developing the long-running Sherlock Holmes series, saw its debut on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One back in June. If true, Frogwares may have been left with no choice but to engage in this manner of scorched-earth tactic, obliterating anything that could be misappropriated by their former distributor. We have reached out to Microsoft about it, and hopefully, this will get fixed as soon as possible."Īs reported previously, Frogwares claims that distributor Bigben/Nacon is acting in bad faith, owes money to Frogwares, is attempting to lay claim of ownership where there is none, and much more. TheGamer reached out to the developer, who has responded by stating, "We assume it was a technical error, as we did not request the removal of The Sinking City from its owners' libraries.
This is most likely an unintended consequence of Frogwares trying to protect their intellectual property.
