A Secret Place .. An Incredible Discovery!

Amerzone whisks you from France to the far-off land of the imaginary Amerzone, located in Central America. You personify a young journalist who discovers the legend of the mysterious "White Birds". According to the legend, the "White Birds" guarantee eternal life and prosperity and were offered to the Native Americans as a gift by God. These amazing creatures are born, live, and die in the sky without ever landing. However, an explorer stole the originating egg even before the birds could be born. Since that fateful day, the tribe has suffered under a merciless curse. To finally put an end to the suffering, it is up to you, the journalist, to return the egg to its rightful owners.

JustAdventure - Tom Houston

"...so it is impossible for me to tell any more of the story, because you are about to embark on a thrilling adventure that will take you from the lighthouse to the Amerzone jungles, the native village of Puebla, and eventually the volcano 'nest' and home of the great white birds.

"The story is told in seven chapters that are contained on four CDs. I found the story to be fascinating and riveting, such that you may have difficulty leaving your gameplay for such mundane things as sleeping or working..."

"The fabulous graphics and excellent animations cannot really be described. They have to be experienced. Why is it that the French are so accomplished at graphic presentation?..."

"The puzzles in Amerzone are always solved by being diligent in moving around and observing what is before you as you explore your environment and collect objects. As long as you are careful and thorough, you can solve the puzzles without too much difficulty."

"At the risk of 'turning off' some potential buyers of the Amerzone, I'll say that this game has the look, feel, and quality of a Myst-like game. But with a much more engrossing story, excellent graphics and animations, marvelous sounds and music, and less difficult puzzles to solve, the overall experience for me ranks right there near the top of my list."
