You’ll have to activate all of the events, much like the scene recreations in The Vanishing of Ethan Carter. You’ll open up the retrocognition effect when you enter into the reality distortion portal. Use the Mind’s Eye on the timepiece on the bed when the distortions appear at the corner of the screen. You’ll have a limited amount of uses of the Mind’s Eye, which is located in the bottom left hand corner of the screen. When you get done talking to Will, go into the Mind Palace and combine the items about Albert spreading hysteria to all of those around him.Įxamine the objects in the house, and look at the picture of the Innsmouther as well as use the Mind’s Eye by pressing up on the digital bad. Inside the house, examine the house and head upstairs to talk to the black man, Will Hammond. Simply highlight the evidence/cases and pin them to your map from the inventory screen. However, you can pin certain quest/case items to your map to help you navigate the city. You’ll have to pay attention to what people tell you and where you need to go, and then map it out from there. Keep in mind that the game does not have navigation markers or waypoints to help you find locations. Once you get done examining the lifeboat head back up to the dock and enter into the fisherman’s house. Read Albert’s will and examine the scuba helmet. The lifeboat will be located on the beach. Go all the way to the end of the dock and then down to the beach (south). Once you get done talking to Robert Throgmorton about his missing son Albert, head to Reed’s left (which is due west).

As you collect evidence you can combine the evidence to make deductions, exactly like in the Sherlock Holmes games when Holmes was able to collect evidence and make deductions to solve the crime. Once you collect enough evidence you can go over the details in the Mind Palace.

The tutorial will explain to you how to find and acquire evidence, as well as to place evidence on the map, and how to make use of the evidence you collect.

Ask him how to get there and he’ll give you a map with a few places of interest marked on the map. He’ll tell you to head to the Devil’s Reef. Open your inventory and use the camera to take a picture of the trophy of the squid on the wall. Grab the ammo from the locker, and the camera, along with examining everything else in the room. Once the cinematic ends, you’ll be given a first-aid kit and a brick. If there is evidence in an area and you collect it all, there will be a prompt informing you that you collected all the evidence in that area. The game is light on tutorials, so you’ll need to be wise and smart about how you proceed. This sets up the basic premise of why Reed is heading to Oakmont and what he may hope to achieve while there. Reed heads to Oakmont to find a cure for his visions and ailments – something that other people at Oakmont are suffering from as well. The game starts with a cinematic of investigator Charles Reed, having a frightening vision of Cthulhu while traveling on a boat to Oakmont, Massachusetts. You can check out the first part below, covering the Throgmortons and Inssmouthers. There’s a playlist of videos covering The Sinking City featuring guided commentary from YouTuber ChristopherOdd.
