Sinking Island Coming Out This Fall

Sinking Island is a new adventure game planned to be released by Microids this fall.
This is the first part of a trilogy developed by White Birds Productions.

Its action is placed on a tropical paradise island, Sagorah, which is sinking slowly. In parallel, a crime is committed at a hotel on the island, where 82 years old American millionaire Walter Jones is found dead next to a massive Art Deco massive tower at which he had worked at dreaming it will become an elite gateway for international jet-setters.

You will have the role of detective Jack Norm, former federal agent, who is searching to discover the murderer and it’s mobile.

Things must go fast because the clues are sinking together with the island.
The clues found at the murder scene are his wheelchair abandoned at the edge of the cliff and several scratches on his face one of which seems to have been made by a woman.
Among the ten people present on the island during the murder were also the heirs to his enormous fortune.

You will store all the clues in the Personal Police Assistant, where will be also updates about the 10 suspects and an interface for matching finger- and foot-prints.
You will also be able to review the data at any time.

There are 2 game modes available.
Race against time Mode when you as Jack have to finish the missions in time, and Adventure Mode, when you don’t have any time limit and can fully immerse yourselves in the beautiful environments.

Now a little more information for you.
