About the Game

From the creator of Syberia 1, Syberia 2, experience Benoit Sokal's fifth game.

At the base of a cliff on Sagorah Island, 82 year-old American billionaire Walter Jones is found dead next to his life's work; a massive Art Deco tower he had dreamed would become an elite getaway for international jet-setters. The only clues found at the scene include his wheelchair, abandoned at the edge of the cliff, and multiple scratches on his face. One of these scratches appears to have been made by a woman. Ten people were present on the island at the time of his death, among them the heirs to his vast fortune and legacy. Was his death an accident or murder?

Players assume the role of Jack Norm, a federal agent turned private dectective, who is taking a break in the atolls of the Indian Ocean when an old friend requests his assistance with the case. Jack has just three days to complete 10 gameplay missions, collecting valuable clues and storing evidence in his PPA (Personal Police Assistant). He will interrogate each of the 10 unusual suspects, using his keen deduction skills to determine who among them may have the most to gain from Walter Jones's death.

Not Recommended

If Benoît Sokal makes you think of Syberia, you might expect Sinking Island to have a similar atmosphere and charm—but you’ll likely be disappointed. The story is solid and the scenery is beautiful, but the pacing is quite slow. The dialogues are excessively long, and most of what’s said doesn’t really advance the story. Traveling between locations is also tedious. The main character, Jack Norm, responds slowly, and you have to walk the entire distance in a scene—there’s no option to double-click to skip movement like in many other adventure games. I’m currently playing this game for the second time and plan to finish it, but I’m not enjoying it as much as I hoped. However… if you try it in “against time” mode instead of standard adventure mode, it could feel like a completely different experience.
