The Sinking City Guide is a comprehensive resource to the subject of the Sinking City ARG. It covers everything from the history of the ARG and its predecessors to the official lore, and other miscellaneous topics. It includes all evidence found (all chapters. 100% explored!), as well as all evidence that was found but never included.

The Sinking City is a narrative adventure game set in a small fictional city, where something is wrong with the city. The story plays out in a series of town-wide events, and many of these events are triggered by you. Some of these events are scripted, some are not. Some you can choose whether you want to participate in, others you can’t. The choices you make will determine what kind of person you are, and how the story plays out.

The city of Steam is sinking! If you have played “The Sinking City”, you will know that it is a largely mysterious piece of media, with no real information about its world, plot or characters. All of that changes now. This guide will provide every bit of information about “The Sinking City” that has been found, all the information that has been released, and all of the information that has been discovered.


Here’s a brief rundown of all the many places where evidence may be found. Where can I get all of the evidence for all of the major narrative cases? 

Within the game, there are nine distinct Cases or Chapters. All of them need the collection of a variety of clues and evidence, some of which are very difficult to locate. However, we’ve got you covered with this tutorial, so let’s get started!

Welcome to a new feature I’ve been working on called The Sinking City : All Evidence Found (All Chapters. 100% Explored!) Guide.  I have been writing about the Sinking City (a 2D Action-Adventure game developed by Two Point Studios) since I finished it in 2015 and have spent the past two years developing the guide. The Sinking City is a narrative-driven game that allows you to explore a world overrun by zombies and who you are ultimately pitted against and it is one of my favorite games of all time.. Read more about the sinking city lost at sea bug and let us know what you think.
