Strategy[]
Easy[]
Single Player[]
This should be simple. Just run through the level as quickly as possible, shooting anyone that falls into the line of the swiftest route, and pick up the item on the jetty. The enemy does not put up much of a resistance. You will unlock bot set "Period Horror" for doing this.
If this strategy works, you should finish in under 30 seconds and unlock the cheat "All Heads Detachable".
Two Player[]
The tactic here is no different to single player, there are just two characters to eliminate the enemy rather than one.
Normal/Hard[]
Head straight for the public house.
The rest of the level is a narrow passage through a tunnel and along the side of a cliff, so shoot anything obstructing the pathway. Turn right when emerging onto the cliff face. When the item is obtained, return through the underground tunnel. Most of the enemy obstructions should already have been dealt with, so the TimeSplitters are the main concern.
There are two health pickups in two different buildings should significant damage be received. If at any time significant damage is inflicted before reaching the cave opening, one health pickup is in the public house, and the other in a restaurant along the way.
When playing two player, try to make sure one character receives most of the damage to keep the other character safe.

Trivia[]
- This level is apparently a reference to H.P. Lovecraft's story Shadow Over Innsmouth, where a small fishing village is home to monstrous half-humans.
- The level was originally set in daytime, as seen here.
- The triangular road sign of a car falling into water is incorrect, as this type of sign didn't appear until the 1960s, over 10 years after the date when this level is set.
