The Sinking City 2 Walkthrough No Commentary — Safe Code

A no-commentary walkthrough of The Sinking City 2 exists in two forms: a full-game upload running in 4K 60FPS on PC Ultra settings, and a shorter demo upload that stops around the Devil's Reef Hotel. Neither one narrates the puzzles, so the useful companion is a written route that gives you the answers, especially the safe codes, without unpausing and rewinding.

What a no-commentary run gives you

The appeal is simple: you see the game play itself with no host talking over the atmosphere. The trade-off is that every puzzle answer and every safe code has to come from somewhere else, because the uploader never explains a lock. That is why this page pairs the videos with the written GameSpew route and the GamesRadar Part 1 breakdown.

The demo upload does carry an auto-generated transcript of the in-game dialogue, which is handy for following the story. The full-game upload has no caption track in the capture used here, so for that one you are watching pure footage. For a narrated alternative, the Neoseeker route linked from the walkthrough page is the better fit.

Which videos to watch and how long they run

The table below lists the no-commentary uploads that are actually available, plus the commentary video that covers the same opening if you want the route explained out loud.

Video	Length of coverage	Notes
Full game, no commentary	Whole campaign	4K 60FPS PC Ultra, published 17 Aug 2026, no caption track
Full demo, no commentary	Opening to the Devil's Reef Hotel	4K 60FPS PC Ultra, published 9 Jun 2026, auto transcript available
Walkthrough Part 1, with commentary	Home, Apartment Building, Radio Store	Explains the opening safe and fuse box

The demo upload is the better first watch if you only want to see whether the game is for you, because it ends at a natural chapter break. The full-game upload is the one to keep open while you play, but expect to scrub back and forth whenever a lock stops you.

The opening route without narration

GamesRadar breaks the opening into two named puzzles: the Apartment 5 safe and the gate fuse box. Both sit in the first flooded district, before you ever reach the Miskatonic Library Annex. The safe is in Apartment 5, one door along from the apartment the story pushes you toward, and the fuse box controls the watergate you need to pass.

Once the gate is open you drive the boat through flooded streets until the Annex, then follow the sliding-bookcase puzzle to the Restricted Section. GameSpew lists the fuse arrangement as I-shaped on the left, T-shaped at the top and L-shaped on the right, rotating each one to fit.

Safe codes and puzzle answers to read instead of pausing

This is the part a no-commentary video cannot give you. The safe codes and puzzle answers below are fixed, so you can read them before the video reaches the lock.

• Apartment 5 wall safe: 1908.
• Church watergate lever: 1672.
• Devil's Reef Hotel safe, Room 301: 2137.
• Hospital storage room lock: 1308.
• Hospital brains console: 13, 05, 36.
• Fish Market wooden lock: 1, 4, 9, 16.
• Fish Market Ezekiel locker: Lighthouse, Rope, Starfish, Octopus.
• Church obelisk, top to bottom: Snake, X, Arrowhead, U.

The safe codes are also the ones that matter for trophies, because each one is attached to a side investigation. The hotel safe in particular is easy to walk past, since the door is hidden behind a cabinet on the third floor.

Missable pickups and the New Game Plus pass

Two collectible sets are missable inside a single run: ten Mushroom Jack radios and thirteen Emergency Relief Crates, which need an E.R.C. Activator Pen to open. A third set, the eight Ex Oblivione writings, only spawns in the New Game Plus mode that unlocks after the credits.

Because the no-commentary upload does not call out pickups, keep the trophy guide open in a second tab and tick each collectible off as the video passes it. The endings page explains what the New Game Plus documents actually are if you are only playing for the story.
