When he interacts with other characters, Reed will be faced with choices on how to proceed with the game or interact with them. Due to the nature of the citizens’ religious beliefs, Reed will discover as many human inflicted horrors and tragedies as he will supernatural, which makes the cast and city all the more unsettling. He will meet and interact with various human and non-human NPCs, some of whom will help or request help from him and others with more hostile intent. Players will take on the role of Charles Reed as he explores the coastal city and tries to unravel the truth behind what is occurring around him. As the game progresses, the player will also likely discover Reed’s past and possibly save him as well as the city. The overarching plot is obviously to discover what is happening in the city and trying to figure out a way to restore the city and its inhabitants to its normal state. They are superstitious people who cling to the old rites and rituals of the original inhabitants of their land and believe that an unknown menacing supernatural force is emerging from the ocean and sending its emissaries to take over the city as well as the minds of the inhabitants. However, he soon discovers that the inhabitants of the city are highly secretive people who do not welcome outsiders. He arrives in Oakment only to find a city that is slowly sinking beneath the waves. Unfortunately, he has chosen the wrong city to calm his nerves and heal his breaking mind. Reed is a private investigator from Boston who is fleeing from the memories of his past in an attempt to stave off the madness that is slowly overwhelming him because of them. As it stands, we have an appeals court ruling saying, until further notice Frogwares do not need to deliver a Steam version to Nacon.Mr. Meanwhile, in Frogwares' statement: " We are aware that a final ruling on whether Frogwares are obligated to deliver a Steam version has yet not been made and could take years. Specifically, Nacon says the court has directed Frogwares to comply with Nacon's desire to bring The Sinking City back to Steam. Update: Interestingly, a statement published by Frogwares regarding its DMCA takedown of The Sinking City seems to be at odds with some of the claims made by Nacon.
The statement closes with a loose legal threat against Frogwares for 'its aggressive and prejudicial comments', making it seem unlikely this argument will see a calm resolution any time soon. It argues that Frogwares refusal to hand a Steam-ready copy of The Sinking City allowed it to seek out other means of getting the game up on the platform.īeyond that, it also reaffirms that it has exclusive distribution rights for The Sinking City on Steam and counters Frogwares' earlier accusations by saying the developer was and is still entitled to any royalties generated by Steam sales (should the game reappear on the platform.) Nacon goes on to describe Frogwares' actions as deliberate sabotage against its attempts to recoup its investment in the game's development, funding Nacon says exceeds 10 million euros. "The Paris Court of Appeal deemed this action 'manifestly unlawful' ordering the continuation of the contract and encouraging Frogwares to refrain 'from any action which would impede such continuation'." "In the past, Frogwares has improperly relied on accusations regarding a lack of payment to refuse delivery of the game on Steam, at which point they tried to unsuccessfully terminate the contract," explains that statement from Nacon. Now, Nacon is arguing that it only published that altered version of The Sinking City because of Frogwares' refusal to provide it with the Steam version of the game, something Nacon says was ordered by a Paris court during its ongoing legal dispute. Last night however, Frogwares was able to get the game removed from Steam via a DMCA takedown. This is the justification given in today's statement for what Frogwares labels piracy: Nacon worked with one of its subsidiaries to adapt a different version of the game for Steam after Frogwares' alleged refusal to cooperate. "In line with the courts’ decision, Nacon has repeatedly and unsuccessfully requested that Frogwares make the game available on Steam, failing which it would apply a clause in the contract wherein such a case, the game would be adapted by a third party," explains Nacon.
