I want to do all the side quests in this game, but I'm really invested in the main story and I want to see where it goes.
I bought the Deluxe Edition on my Xbox and I've been fascinated by its art and styles. Does someone have a link for the game's artbook, since it is not available on Microsoft Store?
Hey guys, just did the lullaby crossroad, and I searched the whole house. Found a letter. But the marker I placed is on the map still and there's no notes about finishing it. So do I just need to erase it and trust that I've done all I can?
So I just got this game on the switch and everything is pretty cool so far. The atmosphere and the story and everything are really cool. But one thing I'm having trouble with is the missions. They want me to go into these houses but when I go in there there's a bunch of Monsters Everywhere. And the game already told me that I should probably run most times because bullets are hard to come by, which is definitely true because I can only ever craft a couple bullets at a time. So how exactly am I supposed to navigate through these cramped corridors and rooms with three or four monsters chasing me without dying and losing all my ammo? It would be one thing if it was just a place with some resources to scrounge up, but some of these places want me to investigate. So the game seems to be telling me that I need to kill all of these monsters, yet I have like no bullets to do so and the loading screen told me that I shouldn't be fighting usually. Please help me guys this seems like a cool game, but this aspect is making it hard to play.
I guess my ultimate question is, is tracking down a Day One version of the game worth it or are all the pre-order bonuses available in game in some way now?
I’ve completed the “Nosedive” quest, and haven’t received the note that starts the side-quest “Silence is Golden”. Not sure why that is or if there is a fix.
This might be a dumb question, but did Frogwares' big bug fix update in January go out to console versions, as well? I have a digital copy on PS5 and have really been enjoying it. But from the news outlets and update posts, I can't see if the updates went to anywhere else but the Steam version.
I can't recall if the game got an update last month on my PS5, either. It might have, but it might have been buried among other updates at the time.
VAMPYR?
thanks!

Hi,
I recently bought a digital copy of "The Sinking City" because it was on sale. Now the Deluxe Edition has gone on sale. I'm wondering if I buy the Deluxe Edition, will it just upgrade the game I already have installed, or will it install as a completely separate game?
Thanks for your help
It looks like this sub isn't all that active, but I'll try asking here anyway.
Robert Throgmorton was born in or around 1891, right? During his father's expedition. The game takes place in the 1920s, which means he's in his 30s, but he looks much older than that. Am I getting something wrong here? His son is 25 and the wiki says he's in his 50s.
Hello,
I have stick for several days on climbing the rocks under the church. I have seen other posts about this but I have not found a solution for it. I have tried going over every piece of rock and looking at walkthrough
Also the health and blue bar disappear right when i start climbing ten rocks
Thanks for any help
Anyone know of similar games with multiple choice segments like this? Just finished this game with 29 hours and got all endings. I feel pretty good about the choices I made (my first and ideal ending is breaking the cycle) so I don’t feel like playing through again to see the other alternatives, maybe I’ll watch videos on them. I enjoyed having my morals tested and seeing the impacts they made so I’d like to ask if anyone knows of any similar games (and before anyone mentions them, I currently have no interest in playing the Sherlock games.)
Started playing again after purchasing from GOG. When having conversations with NPC (yellow suit guy, Throgmorton,etc), my POV shifts between just off their right shoulder, and an angled look at my character. Never faces the NPC speaker. Just to check it out, I booted up my original Frogware's copy from the Frogware Launcher. I can't find anything about this glitch elsewhere on the reddit or the web.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I am on my first playthrough rn and I want to complete all the side missions before I do into the depths but cannot for the life of me figure out how to do silence is golden. People said you get it automatically after Nosedive but I never did. I am playing on pc and just have the base game if that makes a difference.
Using a controller to play this on my TV instead of a M&KB, so aiming is going to be a pain of course, but I put Aim Assist to Strong...but it does absolutely nothing?
Hey there,
I accidentally clicked new game and went back to the main menu. Then I was dumb and hit continue. I quit again and it looks like all my manual saves are gone.
Does anyone know how to load them? I don't see them when I click the load menu. If I lost my progress I'll be really annoyed.
Found in the basement of >!the Byers house, in Self-Defense, !<but can't seem to interact with it. It's blinking/lighting up periodically. Tried spamming interact, shooting, hitting, taking photos, and nothing!
I know one of the reasons that things didn't get worked on, smoothed out, etc. were because of the legal battles. And now with the ownership going to FrogFoot entirely just recently. Has anyone heard anything about an upgrade for going from PS4 to PS5? I'm seeing the PS4 Necronomicon edition on sale, and the PS5 DLC is on sale (And includes the new DLC for once they do their full rework.) Any news at all? Or am I better off just buying the deluxe edition for PS5 at price or catching it on sale?
If I beat the game, am I still able to go around and explore/finish side quests? If it ends without letting me continue, is there a spoiler free way of letting me know when the game is about to end so I can create a manual save?
What's this game like on console, is it difficult, does it have me think and use my head for investigations, is there any game breaking bugs that can ruin the experience. Looks up my ally but I dont want to watch any thing that spoils the game, and final question is how long is it
If I buy the game now on sale on steam, is that still relevant when they update the game or are they releasing a completely new version, I'm confused by the wording in the post they put up. Is the new version just an update?
Just bought on sale and started playing, I'm kinda confused.
With Letters From Oakmont: Lone Boy for example, I go to the area noted & nothing...even with minds eye activated.
Also
Should I go through infested areas? There seems to be loot & I keep shooting, it takes forever to kill the monsters + my health drains fast and I dont have enough med kits....am I supposed to avoid these areas til I level up? Or can you kill all in a house so you can loot it? They seem to keep spawning
i did all the side quests except for this one, and i thought jacob tucker would spawn after "self-defense". but he still isnt there. how can i start this side case?
