One of the easiest ways to indicate that a major, Earth-changing event has taken place is to show a city half-sunken, with buildings at unsafe and possibly nausea-inducing cants. This is sometimes the result of a Green Aesop about Global Warming, but more often it's just used to show that something is not right in the story's setting. Given the natural fears that arise in an island nation, this happens to Japan a lot. These cities may be empty, abandoned ruins, but can often be seen draped in plant life or inhabited by Disaster Scavengers. These cities are staples of Flooded Future Worlds. The quintessential example is, of course, Atlantis. May be the result of California Collapse. For ancient examples see Underwater Ruins. Contrast Underwater City when they're still functional underwater. |

In The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, there are flooded ruins of several presumably Hylian villages found downstream of Zora's Domain in the southeastern reaches of Hyrule. Considering that the Zora's Domain story arc in this game involves the threat of a devastating flood caused by Divine Beast Vah Ruta's water-generating powers, there's a possibility that Vah Ruta caused some other minor floods in the century since the Great Calamity, especially since these flooded villages don't have the remains of Guardians like most other ruins. | |

Deepwoken: Celtor was once a prosperous Merchant City, and the namesake of the race that originated from there. However, thanks to the Ministry offering it to Yun'shul in exchange for godhood, it became one of the many victims of the Great Drowning and is now the centerpiece of Scyphozia, the First Layer. | |

Dark Souls: In the original Dark Souls, the city of New Londo is half submerged in water, and mostly populated by homicidal ghosts. It turns out that the city was flooded by the Three Healers when the Darkwraiths (humans feeding on "Humanity" and becoming twisted by the Dark) began to get out of control and the Abyss began to take shape beneath New Londo: flooding the city sealed both of those up and put a stop to the spread of the Abyss. Dark Souls II has a couple: the realm of Heide is almost completely submerged by the sea, with only a couple of towers still habitable above the water. The Iron Keep is likewise sunken... in lava. The Old Iron King became too greedy, and built his castle too high; the castle (suggested to be pure iron) got really, really heavy and partially sank into the volcano the King had insisted it be built on. |

In Drowntown, future London has a lot more water than it used to. It's still fully inhabited, however, and has actually gained population as people seek refuge from places that have it worse off. Among other things, the flooding means that water-based transport is now considerably more common — one of the main characters is an aqua-courier, riding through what used to be streets. | |

In Firefight, Babylon Restored, formerly Manhattan, is flooded. The Epic Regalia who rules the city did this intentionally to boost up her Making a Splash powers within her domain. Unlike most examples, though, she has to continuously use her power to keep it that way, as the island is still above sea-level; the characters note that the water bends upwards like a hill in and around the city, and when Regalia dies, the water rapidly flows back into the sea without her keeping it there. | |

Ace Combat: In Ace Combat 04: Shattered Skies, your enemy's capital city, Farbanti, has a submerged downtown full of scorched, tilted skyscrapers (and during the battle, submarines) due to an asteroid impact. Farbanti and its still-flooded districts also feature prominently in Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown as the site of yet another massive aerial battle. The Boss Battle in the climax involves a high-speed chase through the toppled skyscrapers that you may partake in if you're so inclined. |

The city of Thor in Tales of Phantasia sunk 2000 years prior to the events of the game due to a meteor crash. It's still, however, relatively dry and functional thanks to Aska's power.

The Legend of Zelda: Sunken City in The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons, flooded not by rising seawater (it's quite far from the ocean) but by melting snow from the mountains. In The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, there are flooded ruins of several presumably Hylian villages found downstream of Zora's Domain in the southeastern reaches of Hyrule. Considering that the Zora's Domain story arc in this game involves the threat of a devastating flood caused by Divine Beast Vah Ruta's water-generating powers, there's a possibility that Vah Ruta caused some other minor floods in the century since the Great Calamity, especially since these flooded villages don't have the remains of Guardians like most other ruins. In The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, the Ancient Zora Waterworks under the East Reservoir Lake looks quite a bit like a Zora settlement that got flooded in the distant past. It's notably larger than Zora's Domain itself. You have to flood it further in order to open a path to Sky Islands leading to the Water Temple. |

NieR: Automata has the aptly named Flooded City as part of its game world. It's a comparatively small coastal zone full of ruined, half-toppled skyscrapers that's curious for being only about a kilometer as the crow flies away from a scorching desert. | |

In Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou, due to an environmental shift whose details are largely unrevealed, a great many coastal cities are completely covered by the ocean. At least one chapter revolves around exploring one such city, Yokosuka, whose streetlights still come on even though the city is completely submerged. | |

Aquaman: For a time, Aquaman was based in Sub Diego, a portion of San Diego that was submerged in an attempt to convert humans into subaquatic beings. The population consisted of a mix of these altered humans and Atlantian refugees. | |

At one point in Final Fantasy X, you cross a river by way of a shoopuf (basically an elephant-like creature that can tread water) and there are city ruins underneath the surface. Wakka explains that the city was destroyed by Sin, a massive creature said to punish civilizations that become too technologically advanced. | |

Oakmont, Massachusetts, which is the titular location in The Sinking City. It mysteriously flooded and filled up with monsters, making numerous neighborhoods unlivable. It turns out to be due to Cthylla, Cthulhu's daughter, waking up beneath it. | |

Absented Age: Squarebound: Every time Karen defeats a Ganger boss, she enters a map featuring several buildings partially submerged in water. The talking flower here allows her to pick one new Enchant skill every time she comes here. After she recovers from her nightmare segment, the flower reveals that this place is Karen's Heart's Core, which can maintain her existence even after the Gangers take her Heart Fragments. The sunken city tileset is also used for the entrance map of the Arcade Driftworlds. | |

Bangkok ends up like this at the end of The Windup Girl, to the delight of the title character as she can bathe in the water to keep herself cool (she's genetically engineered and can't get sick from the dirty water, but suffers from overheating). As the authorities have evacuated along with most of the populace, she doesn't have to worry about anyone trying to arrest her. | |

In The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, the Ancient Zora Waterworks under the East Reservoir Lake looks quite a bit like a Zora settlement that got flooded in the distant past. It's notably larger than Zora's Domain itself. You have to flood it further in order to open a path to Sky Islands leading to the Water Temple. | |

In the original Dark Souls, the city of New Londo is half submerged in water, and mostly populated by homicidal ghosts. It turns out that the city was flooded by the Three Healers when the Darkwraiths (humans feeding on "Humanity" and becoming twisted by the Dark) began to get out of control and the Abyss began to take shape beneath New Londo: flooding the city sealed both of those up and put a stop to the spread of the Abyss. | |
