The Sinking City Achievements Guide
Welcome to our The Sinking City Achievements Guide. Need a guide to help you get all the achievements in one go? Our guide will show you all the information and achievements you need.
Tips
Tips #0 : If you like walking. Hit CAPS LOCK on your keyboard.
Tips #1 :There is two types of cases : Main cases & Side cases.
At the start of each main case, i suggest to save the game and make a backup of the save somewhere on your pc. Because, if you are too far in the case, you can go back if you missed something.
The save are located in the link below :
C:UsersUSER_NAMEAppDataLocalTSCGameSavedSaveGames
Tips #2 : Some achievement are line related. So, pay attention on what you pick as a dialogue line. Dialogue in this game are no reversible. You can’t go back, if you miss, you will need to load a previous save to do it again.
Tips #3 : When you visit a location for a case, you have evidence to collect, some of them are hidden behind illusion. (Some walls seem real but are not, …) So, it’s difficult to know if you find everything. Gladly, the game offer you an icon on the map allowing you to know if you have complete a location at 100%. There is a magnify glass icon on the location on the map. If the icon is green, it mean than you found everything. If you want everything at 100%, NEVER leave a place without having a green icon. You never go back to an already visited location during a case.
Tips #4 : If you didn’t figure out yet, there is a feature called the mindplace in the menu of the game. It’s the place where you link evidences from the main case together to make facts (They can be true or false, doesn’t matter. You need to do it to advance in a case sometimes, it become more and more true when you go deeper in the game). Sometimes, the mindplace offer you to make a choice, changing the fate of a case.
N.B : The mindplace doesn’t exist for side cases.
Tips #5 : When a case is finish, always go back to your room in the hotel. There is sometimes a cut scene and/or a piece of newspaper stick to a board. Allowing you to know what happened from your choice. Sometimes, Charles Reed write something in his journal, also. When there is different location with npcs still alive, i also suggest to go check on them before/after the end of the case.
