Sinking Island (Template:Langx) is a third-person perspective adventure game that uses point and click game mechanics. It was released in France on October 4, 2007, and in the United States on August 12, 2008.[1] It was developed by White Birds Productions, a company founded and led by Benoît Sokal.

Development

The title's genesis came from Olivier Fontenay, who suggested that Benoît Sokal make police games.[2] Sokal wrote a ten-page draft in 2005.[3] He decided to have a male playable character to offer a change from his Syberia series.[4] The team created a new interface for the game, entitled PPA (Personal Police Assistant).[5] The game was supported by the Centre National de la Cinématographie.[6] A sequel was originally going to be released, offering a second Jack Norm adventure set in New York.[7]

Plot

The plot is centered on the investigation of the death of a millionaire named Walter Jones. The main acting character in the game is Jack Norm, a police officer entrusted with the task of solving the mystery. The events take place on a fictional island owned by the late Walter Jones in an Art Deco-style tower. The plot takes place over three days and follows a classic murder mystery scheme where a detective needs to uncover the identity of the murderer.

Critical reception

Script error: No such module "Video game reviews". The game received "average" reviews according to the review aggregation website Metacritic.[8] 4Players reviewer Bodo Naser thought that while the game promised a murder mystery akin to those of Agatha Christie, the title did not deliver.[9] IGN offered a mixed review, describing the game as having "weary, stranded-island sleuthing at its soggiest".[10] GameSpotTemplate:'s hands-on preview thought the game would appeal to adventure fans.[11] Gamekult derided the game's difficult puzzles, sleep-inducing dialogue, and lack of plot momentum.[12]
