The Sinking City 2 Arkham setting drops you into a 1920s Lovecraftian American port city under supernatural flood. Calvin "Cal" Rafferty is the confirmed protagonist; Faye Bennett is confirmed supporting cast, her soul trapped in the Dreamlands while her body has been stolen. Frogwares Ireland Ltd. develops and publishes the game; the studio also made the 2019 Oakmont original and the 2025 Remastered edition. The setting shift from Oakmont to Arkham is a deliberate sequel move.
