How long does it take to complete The Sinking City?
The main storyline should take about 20 hours.
This depends on which investigation difficulty level you play.
This can significantly increase the time spent with the game because this can slow down your progress in investigations.
It is worth noting thatyou don’t need to complete the game multiple timesto see different endings.
They are all available regardless of the decisions made during your playthrough.
The in-game choices don’t branch out too much, and the main plot always has a similar course.
Completing all the side cases extend the game to about 30 hours.
Usually, a single side case will take you around one hour.
Can I kill NPCs?
Yes, the game enables the players to kill non-playable characters.
However, it doesn’t lead to anything good.
Killing NPCs greatly reduce mental healthof the protagonist.
you might’t kill characters related to the investigations.
Reed can’t shoot them even if the aims at any of the key NPCs.
Doing this doesn’t have negative consequences that could fail an investigation.
Where to find the shotgun?

This weapon isa reward for completing one of the main cases-Quid Pro Quo.
Other weapons (and gadgets) are also rewards for completing selected main cases.
They will be useful during side cases and during the free exploration of Oakmont.
Why mission markers don’t appear on the map?

Sadly, these clues aren’t always so precise.
Thanks to that, you won’t have to wander aimlessly.

Examining an interactive container (chest, drawer etc.)
How to get off the boat?
Boat trips are an important part of the game.
