Sinking Island


With the advent of Syberia, we briefly believed that the classical quest alive. We are encouraged by an ingenious designer, artist, and later - the head of France's White Birds Productions Benoit Sokal (Benoit Sokal). The talented author has created a wonderful world. Filled it with lively characters, stylish interiors, impeccable scenery. Kate Walker, a lawyer from New York, arrived in a provincial town in order to finalize the purchase of the factory, which produces robots (a common phenomenon here) and landed in the most exciting adventure of his life ... The final game was great, and many wanted to know, got a hero and her friends to a mysterious Siberia. Benoit Sokal had the answer. Alas, Syberia 2 was not as successful. A horrifying Paradise and did cast doubt on the bright future of games from Sokal. Sucked from the finger story, a banal character, ubiquitous pixel-hunting. The patience of fans came to an end. Probably realizing the errors of the first project, the company decided to justify the release of Sinking Island, a detective story in the spirit of the novels of Agatha Christie?

In such an uncomfortable situation you have to make a choice. Mode Adventure - familiar passage. Race against time - option is more complicated.

Documents, small objects, fingerprints and footwear, photographs, testimony of suspects and dossiers on them. As the passing game at a detective accumulates more and more information about the crime. LPA will undertake an analysis of materials, set, whose fingers are on the instruments of crime, etc. Our goal - to collect as a result of a large puzzle, fragments of which - the answers to the questions: Was Walter Jones's death an accident? who was interested in the death of an old man? what he did on the precipice?

Because of problems with electricity, some elevators to stop working. We were not immediately allowed to rummage through the personal papers of the suspects.


Look to the right

Skate Benoit Sokal - gaming landscape. It seems that this time the artist has surpassed himself. Tower, the interior design of rooms - all done in Art Deco style. And while the interiors perfectly detailed, the characters a bit awkward. Incidentally, the love for our fellow countrymen have not gone Benoit. One of the suspects - a Russian. The investigation lasted several days, and on the second you can move only inside the hotel. It's nice that the developers avoided the annoying bugs Paradise. The player's actions are logical puzzles are not dumped in a pile. Many of the rooms, documents and things will become available only after successful completion of previous assignments. Generally, the search for the perpetrator grabs a long time, original plot twists, the characters are not boring. There were, of course, without flaws. As usual, we have run a lot and socialize. But is it might spoil our impression of the game?
