Back in 1999, before Benoît Sokal gave us Syberia,
he designed a game based on his own comic strip L'Amerzone.
It was generally well received, and I played it a few years later.
I remember being impressed, the visuals and the environmental
elements being what come to mind.

What we have now is a remake, enhanced and tweaked, and
apart from saying I am still impressed, what follows is based
on playing this as a stand alone experience.

You play an unnamed freelance journalist, tasked by Mondial
Magazine to interview French scientist and explorer Alexandre
Valembois about his career. Living as a recluse in a Brittany
lighthouse for more than 50 years, your letter of instruction states
that despite his unsavoury nature, he remains the only expert on
the little-known Amerzone.

Arriving at the lighthouse, your intended interview soon becomes so much more.
