The Tides of Innsmouth

YOU become the investigator when a folklorist hires you to help find a sunken pirate ship, then they ghost you at the meet-up. A sane individual would go home, grumble a bit about a possible job falling through, and live their life. But no, that’s not you! You sneak into her hotel room and rifle through her diary, then decide to track her down to see if she’s okay. But the locals don’t appreciate visitors, especially ones that ask questions. You are definitely not welcome in the creepy, plague-destroyed, conspiracy-shadowed town of Innsmouth.

Hints and Tips

In Addison;s hotel room, you need both the diary (for the location) and the tide table (for the time). If you do a third thing (newspaper) you get clobbered and go into an end-game scenario to escape with your life. Doing only one means you don’t have both parts. Doing two, means that getting the “Paranoid” keyword is basically required.

The tidal tunnels’ location is literally that:”tidal tunnels” Combined with the low tide time of 16:36, the total is 203.
