The Sinking City: Through the Looking Glass Side Case Walkthrough

Through the Looking Glass is a side quest in The Sinking City. It can be picked up after the Main Quest “A Delicate Matter”.


When finishing “A Delicate Matter” and accepting the “Through the Looking Glass” Case, Mr. Throgmorton will give you the Key from Francis’ Study. It will open the door upstairs. Inside the study, activate “Mind’s Eye” and approach the box. It’s a hidden safe. Pick up the document hidden inside.

It all began in the ’80s when I was just 7 years old. Starting with basic arcade games, I soon delved into titles like Loom and Monkey Island by Lucasarts. Throughout the years, as I indulged in more and more games, I consistently sought clear guides to swiftly navigate my gameplay. Now, it’s my turn to contribute back to the community.
