"Bringing Benoît Sokal and Microïds together on a videogame project for the first time, Amerzone is a first-person Point-N’-Click Adventure in the vein of the classic Myst series. As a young journalist, an explorer’s dying wish will take you from Northern France to the land of Amerzone, a fictional country in Central America ruled by a tyrannical dictator. It’s a plot that holds-up to a twisted tale of corruption as you journey through Amerzone, better referred to as mystical than whimsical."

"The game begins with the welcome return of Oscar, the train engineer that featured heavily in the first title and was often a source of light-hearted relief. Oscar’s presence may not be as powerful, nor enduring, as in the original Syberia, but he’s no less memorable. Other characters, including Kate herself, are developed with much greater care and depth than the original title, though this could of course be due to the much lower headcount."
