Sinking Island Hints
A brief introduction to these hints...
Sinking Island is a game about investigation. You play as Investigator Jack Norm, and a large portion of your work during this game will comprise of finding suspects and asking them about their fellow suspects, and your clues and leads. As such, I haven't felt the need to document exactly whom to speak to in order to answer the game's various mandates -- questions that are posed by the game that you need to answer to further your investigation.
If at any point you find yourself without anything to do, you can check your PPA (Personal Police Assistant), check up on which mandate you are currently exploring, and speak to all of the characters again to ask them about that particular point. The locations of each character can be found on the Character Profiles page of the PPA. My hints deal with the game's puzzles and provide solutions to each of the mandates in the game, as well as providing basic information on how to get around the tower's many elevators and the island itself, but I have not given direct instruction as to where to go, who to talk to, etc., in order to finish Sinking Island, as I feel that would ruin the fun of one of the best adventure games to come along in quite some time.
