Albert fled when wounded

Wondering what happened to Albert Throgmorton after he was found? We break down the clues and events in The Sinking City's 'Frosty Welcome' case, guiding you through the mystery.

Alright, so you've just arrived in Oakmont and are starting the first main case, 'Frosty Welcome.' After meeting Johannes and then Robert Throgmorton, you'll be tasked with finding Robert's son, Albert. Robert's a bit suspicious of Innsmouthers, but he thinks something else is going on with Albert. Before you head straight to the house Robert mentioned, do yourself a favor and check out the area Robert is facing. You'll find a stranded lifeboat called the 'Titania.' Inside, you'll get a creepy helmet and, more importantly, find Albert Throgmorton's will. It's a good clue to grab early on. Now, head to the house. When you get inside, you'll meet Will Hammond, who's pretty shaken up. He explains that Albert was brought in unconscious by a guy named Barry. Barry left to call Robert, and while Albert was in a room, things got... weird. Will, Paul, and Lewis were there, and Will can't remember much after that, just some disturbing dreams. Will mentions that Lewis Flynn is an Innsmouther and that Paul is the guy lying on the floor. Barry is outside with Robert, but Albert and Lewis are missing. After talking to Will, you'll need to use your Mind Palace to piece things together. Look for clues around the house: * Bloody handprints on a wardrobe at the top of the stairs. * Paul, who's been badly beaten. * A locket on a bed. Using your Mind's Eye here is crucial – you'll see Albert floating and hear a strange voice. * A picture of Lewis' family. * A crate of alcohol and a knife with an eye pattern on a desk. Once you've gathered these, use your retrocognition power. You'll see a sequence where Albert wakes up, fights the others, and Lewis confronts him. Lewis then pushes Albert into the wardrobe and leaves through a hole in the wall. It becomes clear that Albert, after waking up and attacking the fishermen, was then pursued by Lewis.
