Sinking Island Walkthrough by Pale Prophet
Summary
Walter Jones, a billionaire, is found dead at the bottom of a huge Art Deco
tower that he had built on a tropical island. The hotel that he had hoped
to turn into a holiday resort for the international jet set turned out to
be his last resting place.
You play the role of inspector Jack Norm. While a storm is raging, you have
three days to find out the truth behind this mysterious death.
Which of the ten people on the island at the time of the death might have
reason to want Walter Jones dead?
Gameplay
Adventure :
An island. A dead man. Several suspects. Be vigilant, clues can be found
anywhere.
An action-packed investigation full of surprises
The game takes place over 3 days. Certain objects can only be taken on
certain days.
There are 13 Mandates to solves, that do not have to be done in order.
Inventory
Conatins:
In the Clue Manager on the upper left is the current mandate you are
doing.
Just underneath that is the Progress Bar, mandates can not be solved
until the Progress Bar is full.
(I suggest checking the PPA after collecting any evidence so that you
can see what evidence increases the Progress Bar.)
The clues that are needed to solve the mandate go under the Progress Bar.
If there are several mandates going at once you can select one by
going into the Progression screen on the PPA, clicking on the one
you want and then going back into the Clue Manager. The selected
mandate will now appear at the top.

Look around the rest of the library.
On the leftside of the door to Walter's office is a bookcase to
examine.
Click the on the fourth row to examine them.
"Books on very different subjects, in english, in german, in
french, there's a spainish one here. Strange for someone as
organised as Walter Jones!"
The last bit is the clue, using the book on the shelf spell out
walter by using the author's names.
So:

Human Destiny and Violence by Amartya D. Sunny
Plan 8: a planet in trouble by Lester J. Jackson

Le quotidiien est une douleur by Eric Royon

Cutscene: a liquor cabinet opens behind the bookcase, examine it.
If you click on the liquor bottles Jack says that he no longer
touches this.
There is one bottle there that is water, on the rightside on the
fourth shelf.
Click on the water. Another secret cabinet is opened on the
otherside of the door.
Take the what is on the shelf. It's a "file on Hubert de Nolent."
Now let's go and talk to Lorenzo since he has a Biathlon gold medal.
He's still in his studio on the 22nd floor, up we go.
Talk to Lorenzo about his medal. Add his answer to mandate no. 9.
"Lorenzo admits to having been a good marksman,"
Compare his fingerprint to the one on the rifle.
Continue to ask him questions.
The computer should be able to tell us who was the last person in
the library.
But Lorenzo will need the access code first.
He knows Jones hid the code somewhere in his desk.
Now we need to get into Walter's desk and find the code.
Remember the screws on the back of the desk. We just need to
something to use.
So let's start by looking in the Technical Workshop.
So down to the 17th floor.
Let talk to Sonia first. Jack will take her fingerprints. Ask
all questions.
Compare her fingerprint to the one on the rifle.
The check the mandates again. There is new evidence for no.
5 and 9.
Add into mandate no. 5 "Sonia confirms that W. Jones was wearing
his chain."
Add into mandate no. 9 "Sonia admits to having participated in
the safari."
Back to Walter's desk. Examine the back of it and undo the four
screws.
The back panel is removed. Now undo the four screws on the two draws.
Open the bottom draw, nothing there. Open the second draw and
take the "Marco Jones' electoral campaign press book." Read it.
Marco was one of the best marksmen in his class at military school.
Add this to mandate no. 9.
Now check the top draw, but it is stuck. The screwdriver doesn't
help.
Try the screwdriver on the otherside of the desk in that right
bottom draw.
Again the screwdriver doesn't work we'll need something elese to
open it.
So lets go and talk to Marco. Use the PPA he's at the heliport on
the 18th floor.
Get off the elevator and go into the building, then go up the
stairs.
Now go to the bottom right of the screen, then out onto the
heliport.
Marco and Billy are there. Talk to both, Jack get prints from each.
After talking to Marco check the mandate. No. 9 can have two things a
dded to it.
Add "Marco admits to having been a good marksman," and
"Marco admits to having participated in the safari."
Now talk to Billy, and then check the mandates when finished.
No. 9 can be update, "Billy admits to having participated in the
safari."
So now what to do. In the safari photo there is Walter, Sonia, Marco,
Billy and someone else with a gun
Since we have now talked to all the grandchildren and Lorenzo
about shooting,
and have taken their fingerprints and checked them, we still
need to take
Nolent's fingerprints to check with the gun and to talk to him.
Use the PPA, he's in the heliport lounges on the 19th floor.
Back out of the heliport and up the stairs on the rightside.
Go right and right again Nolent is sleeping in a chair.
Jack takes Nolent's fingerprints. Compare them with the gun.
It's a match.
Talk to Nolent and ask all questions. Yes Nolent was in the safari.
Mandate no. 9 can be now be updated with "Nolent admits to having
participated in the safari", and the bar is full to check to mandate.

Now we need to talk to Sonia and Nolent. So lets talk to Sonia first.
She's in the garden on the 18th floor. Ask all questions.
She says that the objects were taken by Nolent and that she took
them off him.
Now back to Nolent abou the key. He's still in the heliport lounges.
Nolent said he took the key and the safe was empty.
Then said he took the key and took the contents of the safe.

Follow Kolio around to the left and talk to him about everything.
Just in front of Kolio, there is something to use, under the
painting.
A small slot opens and there is a red flashing light in it.
We can't do anything with that yet.

"Martin admits that he was sleeping with Cristina on the night of
the murder."
Now back to Sonia for the last bit of evidence.
"Cristina admits that she was sleeping with Martin at the time of the
murder."
But before we solve the mandate, we still want to see what was in
Walter's room.
Now let's go and see what the "remote control" opens.
Back to Walter's Suite on the 20th Floor.
Around the left and back to the painting. Use the "remote control
