Sinking Island

About

Sinking Island is a 2007 PC-based point-and-click adventure that leans into classic mystery tropes. As investigator Jack Norm, you comb an isolated island for clues following the murder of a wealthy developer. The game mixes dialogue choices with inventory puzzles as you interview suspects and piece together motives. A built-in assistant tracks notes and evidence while two play styles let you rush against a clock or methodically explore. The dual modes add flexibility without overwhelming first-time players. While the story sticks to familiar whodunit beats, the real-time challenge mode keeps things brisk. Though over a decade old it remains a solid entry in the genre for those who enjoy straightforward detective work.

Storyline

Walter Jones, a billionaire had planned on opening up a resort for the rich and famous, but was killed before his dream could be achieved. It's up to Detective Jack Norm to crack the case by interviewing the people on Sinking Island to get valuable clues.
