Sinking Island - Spoiler-Free Pixel Hunt Guide
By TheDeluxeTux
This is a great game, but there are a number of times where your progress may be blocked because you missed one TINY clue or item somewhere on the huge map.

This guide leaves the detective work up to you, but gives you a little nudge to help you find a hotspot you may have missed. I have bolded what I think are the easiest-to-miss items.

If something listed in this guide is not there yet, move on and return later and it will show up when it is appropriate.

Did I miss something? Suggestions for improvements? Drop a comment.

Day 1
Cliffside
  • Take a picture of the tire tracks
  • Don't miss the beads

Wheelchair
  • You need a picture of blood and a picture of the wheelchair.
  • Don't miss the chain fragment.
  • Come back here later after getting powder for a fingerprint.

Walking towards the hotel
  • There is a fork in the road leading towards the hotel. At the end of the north fork, there is a small scrap of fabric.
  • Where the beach ends and the marbled path begins (at the archway), there is another small hotspot on the floor. You must photograph the scene there.

Kolio's Beachside Hut
  • Pretty hard to miss this one, but there are two boxes in here with some important clues.
  • After talking to the people here, you can photograph the pyramid in the distance.

Lorenzo's Studio (Hotel Floor 22)
Don't leave without the:
  • Gold Medal
  • Ripped Jacket
  • Pad of Paper
  • Graphite Powder (sharpen a pencil on the desk)

Workshop (Hotel Floor 17)
  • Take the screwdriver on the work bench
  • There is a blowtorch in this area, on the floor. To use this item later in the game, you will also need the goggles and workgloves, also in this area. The gloves are by a ladder. Make sure to grab all three items!

Suite 152 OR Suite 141
  • Take Invitation

Kitchen (Lobby 2, left side)
  • There is a very hard-to-find KNIFE in one of the drawers here



Day 2
Library
At the window behind the desk you must take a picture of the windowsill as well as grab the woodchips.

In Nolent's desk there are items in all drawers.

Walter Jones' Office

Take a photo of the portrait.

In the right drawer of the gun safe, take the clean rag and the flax oil. Also, USE the paper here to get a flax oil stain.

In the left drawer, locate the box with the missing cartridges.

Walter Jones' Desk

  • Take the safari picture.
  • There are items in the drawers. The bottom drawer has a false bottom. If you have been following this guide you already have the item to help with that.
  • There is an easy to miss hotspot to see a side view of the desk. From the side-view, there are screws. This leads to another important item.
  • You cannot open the drawer with the red flashing light yet.

Library

There is another easy to miss hotspot on a bookshelf that leads to a puzzle. (Pull out books by author first-name to spell "WALTER").

Suite 141

Find an item in the suitcases and more important items in the trash can here.

Suite 142

The bathroom drawer has a hairpin, which can be used to open the suitcases here for more clues.

Suite 151:

There is a safe here. If you have been following the guide so far, you can get in with the items you have.

Walter's Suite

There are two papers on the table and a wheelchair manual is near the bed.



Day 3
NOTE: These items are presented in story order. If the item is not where I mention it will be, continue with the investigation and it will eventually show up.

Library

There are a few items and photos here. There is a pen here, but you are meant to use it right away as a prying tool. Do not leave without the remote control.

19th Floor Lounge
There is an easy-to-miss bit where you must examine Christina's suitcase; click it, then speak to Christina about it for permission, and then click it again.

18th Floor Lounge

SUPER EASY TO MISS: In the plant right outside of the elevator leading to the lower floors, there is a crumbled-up paper in the bush.

Suite 142:

There is a new hotspot near the bed, a small item is here.

Lorenzo's Office:

At a certain point in the story, you will be able to find an allen wrench here.

I loved this game and noticed that there's basically no guides for it so I decided to write some.
