The value story
The lowest price on record is $3.99, set in November 2023. It has been discounted 52 times in the 6 years tracked here, typically at 80 percent off, with about 5 weeks between sales.
It is pricier than 94 percent of its genre. Among the games that feel like it, Sherlock Holmes The Awakened ($39.99, scores 42) beats it on value, while it beats Deadly Premonition: The Director's Cut ($24.99, scores 15).
Steam's global achievement data puts about 9 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. On an 18.9-hour game, the hours short of it still count in its price per hour. Players rate it 75 percent positive over its lifetime, but the last 30 days run 65 percent. Something recent has soured the room. 10 of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written January 2024 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 50 percent of the 607 reviews written there were positive, against 75 percent overall, and those are 12 percent of everything written about it. It sells extras on top of the sticker price (cosmetic, finite spend); the score docks it lightly for that.
The drop-off
59% start to 9% finishSteam counts fewer than one in ten of its players at the ending achievement. On an 18.9-hour game, that's a lot you pay for and may never use. Steam global achievements

Ok, There's a lot of Positives and a few negative points. I walked into this game in hope to be immersed into Lovecraft world after reading the books. Pros: Story: The story is easily one of the strongest parts of the game. The investigation, mysteries, and Lovecraftian atmosphere are top notch. Lovecraft faithful: If you're a fan of Lovecraft, there's a lot here to appreciate. The game really commits to the...
My close friend wanted me to try this game, so naturally, I 100%'d it. I'm going to be completely fair about The Sinking City. First of all, I want to talk about H.P. Lovecraft. I love a lot of his work, but the man was extremely racist(you can check his cat's name and even game itself talks about these topics in the game.) and that part of his worldview can definitely be felt in the atmosphere surrounding...
Not for me im afraid, I really loved the style and atmosphere of this game, very true to Lovecraft. Suprised it had half decent movement and physics too, however trying to find out where anything is a complete B**lache and just kills time, I also hate the Archive system, nothing fun about it. Ashame because I really wanted to get into it.
