Discover the legacy and embark on the journey to Amerzone. Buy now!



You are a journalist summoned by an aged explorer who has been "branded" with questionable credibility for over 50 years. The old explorer's tale tells of traveling to the mysterious Central American country, called Amerzone. His story claims that the large egg that he brought back was associated with native Indian tribal beliefs and rituals involving the proliferation of great white birds that fly continuously from the time that they are born and never land seems incredible. But curiosity and the opportunity for a good story will probably get the best of you...
  • An immersive cinematic adventure with an unforgettable storyline
  • Beautiful scenery and visuals designed by Belgian comic artist Benoît Sokal
  • Many memorable characters and interesting puzzles

Both the best and worst of the -90's.

This is the kind of game that is not made anymore. Not because its not popular but because the culture in the world have changed and people have much shorter attention span. The positive parts are that you are having an adventure folloing an interesting plot about having a journey to a magical and mysterious version of the Amazons. The story feel kind of wimsical and almost childish like they usually were in the -90s. Not cynical like they are today. I would say it was made for children if it was not for the fact that you murder people in this game. A lot of the logic only make sense to a child. The bad parts however is some of the worst parts of -90s adventure games. Like pixel hunting, moon logic and the fact that you can not quit out of any kind of cinematic or action. There are two intro movies that are unskippable. I would suggest using a guide for this one for when you get stuck on the more illogical parts. Too bad you cant alt-tab out! Fortunately the items in the game are very local compared to most adventure games. This means that as long as you have the item its easy to use it. It will be used soon, not much later. It was worth the 0.5 Euros I paid for it and the playthrough took 4 hours.

Perfect graphics and story

Played 15 years ago, it was a game with a graphic never seen before, even today it looks amazing, they should do a remake with full-HD videos and images!

Short adventure to a fictional land

Amerzone is a first-person point-and-click kind of an adventure game, a genre made popular by the legendary 'Myst'. It sits together with other titles by the French Microids studio, such as Dracula: Ressurection and Fort Boyard games, or similar games by Cryo Interactive (e.g. Atlantis series). It features puzzles and 'item fetching' tasks that will keep you busy for a few hours, but that's it. One redeeming quality of this game is art by the famous late comic aritst Benoît Sokal, who designed visuals for Amerzone's spiritual successor (and a much more succesful game) - Syberia, and its subsequent sequels. Some of the puzzles may be confusing or unclear, not least due to poorly rendered graphics, not well suited for modern HD and 4k resolutions. Nonetheless, I managed to finish the game relatively fast. Unless you want to immerse yourself in the game's story, reading notes (at times necessary to understand what you need to do) and watching cutscenes, it does not have a lot to offer. Good visuals in an otherwise mediocre game with a poor - but not gamebreaking - gameplay. Hence I give it 2/5.

Pretty Cool!

Graphics are good for it's time, but it does show its age. Characters are ugly. Transitions from static image to animations are lacking. Now, all this could be due to the Mac version as my game looks different from the screenshots on the store page. The good about the game: The hydrafloat is very cool, it can fly like a helicopter or plane, it can float like a sailboat or motorboat, it can even go underwater! Well designed craft considering (in the game) it was originally designed in the 1930s. The creatures in the amerzone are very unique. There's very little music in the game, mostly ambience sounds - makes it feel more "real". Haven't completed it yet, but so far it's been a fun journey.
