Essentially, this is how the DLC works: Go to all 8 locations, find the hidden book, kill the same monsters that the rest of the game has and, finally, when you complete all the quests, you unlock a cultist/ octopus costume. Picking up the necronomicon isn't a cutscene moment with cool lore but is instead presented as picking up a normal item like any other document you find in the game. Personally, this DLC wasn't as exciting as I had hoped and it's because there's nothing that makes it exciting. This DLC is a fetch quest with 8 new houses to explore and with one new boss which you can see in the picture description. It's either "Von Unaussprechlichen Kulten" (Of Unspeakable Cults) or "Unaussprechliche Kulte" (Unspeakable Cults). *Yes, I know Lovecraft called it "Unaussprechlichen Kulte", but I am German and that is just wrong. It is not a bad DLC in itself, though, and worth getting in a sale.
Also, you once again have to deal with that stupid skull.įinal Verdict: This should be priced at half of what it actually costs. I liked it, despite its cheesiness, but it was rather short. Also, why is the editor a skull? It is never explained.īlood from a Stone: The closest this game comes to a love story. It is comparatively interesting, but the tone does not really fit the depressing atmosphere of the rest of The Sinking City. The excerpts from the books are interesting, but short.īreaking News: In this, you help the editor of the Oakmont Chronicle - a skull - to solve the mystery of a tiger that is hunting criminals in the city. What sets it apart from the rest of the filler content is that these locations are slightly (!) more interestingly designed and that there is one additional boss fight at one point of this quest. Mystic Tomes: Place new markers around the city, visit locations, grab eight classical volumes of Lovecraftian lore, from the Unaussprechliche* Kulte to the Necronomicon itself. I will briefly describe the three missions without spoiling too much:
Not only is this content which should have been in the main game instead of the many bland filler quests, it is far too short for its price. Worshippers of the Necronomicon is a DLC which adds three new missions to The Sinking City and frankly, it is an insulting money grab. Well, dear reader, you have come back for more? Do you want to know whether the secrets of the Necromicon can redeem the fallen city? Read on and learn. Also note the ongoing legal battle between publisher and developer and consider buying this elsewhere. Author's note: For my review of the main game, see here.
