Note on the door (2)

Discover the locations of all 11 Secret Notes in The Sinking City 2. These hidden documents offer deeper lore and backstories about Oakmont. Find them all!

The Sinking City 2 features 11 hidden documents called Secret Notes, scattered throughout Oakmont. You can start looking for them anytime after your first meeting with Victor Olmstead at the Devil's Reef Hotel. All the notes you find will be stored under the 'City Lore' tab in your Documents section. These notes are similar to the Letters From Oakmont and often aren't tied to specific cases, but they flesh out the game's world and the stories of its inhabitants. The game doesn't give you direct hints, so you'll need to keep an eye out for buildings with a crooked H-shaped symbol on the door, indicating it's accessible. Some are also found in places on sunken roads with piers and holes in the walls. Be warned: these locations often have wylebeasts lurking inside. Here are all 11 Secret Notes: * 01. For your eyes only * 02. I accept fire * 03. Instructions for the needy * 04. Nowhere to run * 05. Ocean * 06. Shapes * 07. Sheet music with notes * 08. Sid the Liar * 09. Smudged scribbles * 10. The last message * 11. I see you ## For your eyes only This note is in a flooded factory on Sunset Avenue in Salvation Harbor, between Marsh Avenue and Maple Lane. Head to the upper floor; you'll find the note on a pillow next to a dead woman on a desk. > _Mr. O,_ > > _After years of faithful service I cannot keep silent. I have noticed Mr. C and your lovely wife conspire after dark when you are away on business. Were I you, I would watch them._ > > _I know this city well, dearest Mr. O, and I do not wish you to be harmed due to your admirable selflessness alone._ > > _Your faithful servant,_ > > _Iago_ ## I accept fire This note might connect to the final main case, 'Into the Depths.' It's in the basement of an office building on Bourbon Road, between Darwin Street and Yellow King Avenue in western Reed Heights. You'll find a skeleton in ashes with gas cans nearby. No wylebeasts spawn here. > _I used to be a skeptic, a man of rational thought. But one meeting with Father Nicholas changed everything._ > > _He led me into a Zetetic room below his church. Laying there, near a Monolith wall, I felt myself falling into an endless pit underneath the city. There, at the very bottom, I met the gaze of something ancient, something cold and alien..._ > > _...it broke me. I cannot think. I cannot eat. I cannot write about live like this._ > > _Father Nicholas told me a way out. Fire will cleanse my body, marshal me into the next era and burn away those terrible memories._ > > _I was not a man of faith once._ > > _But now, I accept fire._ ## Instructions for the needy Located in a flooded office building on Whisper Street in Grimhaven Bay, between Central Street and Deepshore Road. This is the same place as the Omega-Two from the 'Defunct Brain Cylinders' side case. Inside, head to the room on the right after entering; the note is on the desk, hidden under a craft item. > _If you feel you can't stand the hunger, pain, and diseases pf this world, accept my gift. The blue pill you've got in your hand is my answer to your prayers._ > > _Take it and you'll be fed. Take it and the pain will go away. The next hour of your life will be blessed._ > > _One pill and you'll be happy till the end of your life. I promise._ > > _Bluebird._ ## Nowhere to run This note is in an office building on Hubert Avenue in Coverside, between Asher Road and Roosevelt Street, just east of the Oakmont Police Department. Go to the second floor; the notebook is on a desk facing the front of the building. > _There is no point running away. That blasted hollow-eyed freak always catches up, with his grin, his long black coat, and those thin crooked fingers clutching a gun. He's got a bullet with my name on it. I dodged it once. There won't be a second time. Kay, help me._ ## Ocean Find this note on the top floor of an apartment building on Derry Lane near Asher Road in Coverside, just before the danger zone barricade. The notebook is on a desk at the very end of the apartment. > _What if the ocean isn't just a mass of water? What if there is an intelligence to it?_ > > _There has to be a reason the water has taken such a toll on us. Perhaps we have angered it?_ ## Shapes This note is in an office building on Landing Avenue in Coverside, across the park from St. Mary's Hospital. Look for the desk behind the green locker on the second floor. > _The
