Description


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


From the creator of Syberia 1, Syberia 2, experience Benoit Sokal's fifth game.

At the base of a cliff on Sagorah Island, 82 year-old American billionaire Walter Jones is found dead next to his life's work; a massive Art Deco tower he had dreamed would become an elite getaway for international jet-setters. The only clues found at the scene include his wheelchair, abandoned at the edge of the cliff, and multiple scratches on his face. One of these scratches appears to have been made by a woman. Ten people were present on the island at the time of his death, among them the heirs to his vast fortune and legacy. Was his death an accident or murder?

Players assume the role of Jack Norm, a federal agent turned private dectective, who is taking a break in the atolls of the Indian Ocean when an old friend requests his assistance with the case. Jack has just three days to complete 10 gameplay missions, collecting valuable clues and storing evidence in his PPA (Personal Police Assistant). He will interrogate each of the 10 unusual suspects, using his keen deduction skills to determine who among them may have the most to gain from Walter Jones's death.

KEY POINTS:

  • An engaging and innovative game.
  • Choose between two styles of gameplay to carry out your quest: Time Mode or Adventure Mode
  • Another classic adventure game by French author Benoît Sokal
  • Interrogate each of the 10 unusual suspects, using your keen deduction skills to determine who among them may have the most to gain from Walter Jones's death.

Nostalgic game that does not hold up.

This game is great for kids I'd say, but I would not reccomend this game for people that care about good stories, good gameplay, good puzzles, good soundtracks etc.

Entertaining when it works

It's a well written detective story. However, I was unable to complete it in adventure mode (vs. running against the time), as one critical action (fingerprint taking) was not activated when needed. Search told me there was no fix for that. Reloading from a previous save did not help. But what eventually helped is doing the game in the timed mode. Overall logic of the game was very good. There were a few points of random pixel hunting which was confusing as this game was generally not like that so I did not expect I needed to look for random hidden artifacts. Actors were generally very good. If not for the glitch I described, this would be a steal for the price!
