00:01Hello everyone, welcome back to The Sinking City, our investigative adventure game set
00:07in a bleak Lovecraftian universe.
00:10In The Sinking City, you play Charles Reed, a Boston PI trying to make sense of a series
00:16of strange events occurring in Oakmont, a secluded city, recently devastated by a flood
00:22of supernatural origins, its inhabitants slowly descending into madness, a fate you are all
00:30too familiar with.
00:32We are on our way to meet Mr. Frogmorton, a man of influence and a powerful patron, that
00:39is, if we prove ourselves useful to him.
00:44Don't be surprised by his features, he claims to be from noble blood and is very proud of
00:50his heritage.
00:52There's also a more delicate matter I wanted to discuss with you, Mr. Reed.
00:57I can be delicate when it matters, so shoot.
01:01I have a colleague, you might say.
01:05His name is Herbert Glover.
01:07Like myself, he is a collector of fine art.
01:12I'm a detective, Mr. Throgmorton, not a burglar.
01:15I don't care for your insinuation, Mr. Reed.
01:18I would never be so crass as to hire a thief.
01:22I had a meeting arranged with her, but one of, uh, great importance, shall we say.
01:28One at which he failed to appear.
01:31I want you to find out why.
01:34That sounds simple enough.
01:36Okay.
01:37I'll do it.
01:39Very good, Mr. Reed.
01:40There is one final detail.
01:43This case must remain secret, and you must not reveal to anyone for whom you are working.
01:49Discretion is my watchword.
01:52Indeed.
01:53Here is Herbert's address and in advance for your investigation.
01:58You'll find it's fair.
02:01Have a good day.
02:09As a newcomer, you're on your own.
02:12No one will take you by the hand.
02:13It's up to you to explore the city, finding a way using the map and the street names.
02:25Oh.
02:34Oh.
02:35Oh.
02:46Oh.
03:01We found the Collector's Manor, but the monstrosities we found have a certain fondness of death.
03:09Eyes still wide open. Guess he didn't see the killing blow coming.
03:27What's that?
03:31Looks like they're short of full set. One of the mirrors was taken.
03:42Only slight scratches around the keyhole. Whoever broke in knew how to pick a lock.
03:51Huh. That's a lot of warning shots.
03:55A keen investigator, Charles' powers of recognition will allow you to reconstruct the events of a crime scene.
04:09Squint, run!
04:11Oh, okay. I have killed him.
04:22Easiest gig in this district. You grab the mirror.
04:25I'm gonna go see what other loot we can take from Mr. Moneypacks here.
04:35Who are you?
04:36What in K's name are you doing in my house?
04:57Squint, run!
04:57What in K's name are you doing in my house?
05:07Squint, run!
05:09Oh, okay. I have killed him.
05:14Two men broke in to steal a mirror.
05:17One of them, Squint, cracked the safe.
05:20But Glover discovered him and shot him.
05:22Second one, second one killed Glover.
05:30Using these extra sensorial powers is draining, particularly on your sanity.
05:37We've got the name of the thieves.
05:39Let's follow that lead by checking the police records.
06:01Hello, officer.
06:03Well, look who finally decided to show up.
06:07If it ain't Charles Reed, the genius that cracked the case of Albert Throgmorton, Captain Caleb Lyons at your service.
06:14What can we simpletons do to assist you, Mr. Holmes?
06:21Look, all I want is access to your records during my investigations.
06:26Otherwise, I'll keep out of your way.
06:28Oh, that's all you want, is it?
06:31Was making us look like idiots in front of Mr. Throgmorton not enough for you?
06:35Look, I'm sorry.
06:38That wasn't my intent.
06:40Well, that's what you did.
06:42A newcomer must know his place.
06:45Let me be frank.
06:46You ain't welcome.
06:48You slip up, don't cross a T or dot an I, and I'll treat you like every other criminal in
06:54here, newcomer.
06:55Hey, easy, Officer Lyons.
06:58I don't want any trouble.
06:59Well, good.
07:01That's a start.
07:02You can use the archive, but only because you have Mr. Throgmorton as your patron.
07:07Keep that mind, Reed.
07:23The police archives are one of the most useful info sources in Oakmont.
07:28We're looking for a criminal record that matches the profile from the clues we have.
07:41Now we have his address, it's time to pay him a visit.
07:44All right.
08:09We're looking for a
08:10Excuse me.
08:13Thank you.
08:14Thank you.
08:34Ah, sembra che Squint ha avuto una buona giornata.
08:38Survive getting shot just to be stabbed to death.
08:41I don't know who did it.
08:53At long last, I'll fix what that old ape-lover Francis did to you.
09:16Ah, get away from the- Oh, thank the gods. I thought you were another monster.
09:24Nice trick with the wall. How'd you manage it?
09:28It wasn't me. She put the wall there with some kind of hocus pocus.
09:34You said she put the wall here. Who is she?
09:39She's our employer. I don't know her name or anything. She promised us a good payout for a simple job.
09:46And I fell for it like a chump.
09:50Sydney Stokes, I presume.
09:51I-I-That's right. Do I-Do I know you?
09:55Don't think so. I'm here about Herbert Glover. I believe you know him. Or, should I say, knew him.
10:04Ah, okay.
10:09What did she hire you to do?
10:11Uh, the job seemed simple enough. Go to the collector's house, grab some fancy mirror, and then hoof it out
10:19of there.
10:21So where's this fancy mirror now?
10:24She took it. When me and Phil met her with the goods, they-they got into a big blowout and
10:28she shivved him.
10:29Kay, what am I to do now? Phil was the idea guy. I-I was-I'm just a sap.
10:37Were you hired to kill the collector, too? Or was that just for laughs?
10:42I-I-I swear to Kay, I-It wasn't part of the plan. It was an accident. The guy started
10:48shooting at us and I-I panicked.
10:50You panicked? Really? That's your excuse?
10:54Please, I-I-S Kay is my witness. I-I didn't mean to kill anyone. I-I'll give you everything
10:59I have. Just-just let me walk.
11:06Look, you might be a sap, but... at least you're an honest sap.
11:10I'll look the other way, but you better get scarce. And fast.
11:14Oh, thank you. You're a life-cypher. Uh, you won't see me again, I swear. Here, take this. Thanks again.
11:31I've got a feeling that this is only the tip of the iceberg.
11:35We better meet with Frogborn, and see what he has to say about it.
11:39But that's a story, we want you to see for yourself.
