Amerzone Demo is out.

The Microids' opening animation was so nostalgic. 💚

I never played Amerzone before because of the motion sickness first POV induces for me so I was pretty excited to hear about a remake and hoping for some accessibility options. It's still a bit dizzying but you can fast forward the exploration and skip most movements that are just transition from one place to the next, climbing ladders, opening doors and such.

No free movement though, it's giving old time point-and-click vibes but with the things we like most about Sokal's works : exploration, puzzles, old tech and lots of reading.

They've added a layer with "side-quests" for the journalist protag, giving more depth/insight into the story by gathering/corroborating information to "write" articles.

The demo is approx an hour long (took my time and also it crashed twice) and there are already two very great easter eggs, made with Syberia fans in mind. Made me a bit emotional, ngl.

Also Inon & Ori Zur's music, man... Amazing as always. The main menu song is crazy.

The demo stops right when it's getting really interesting and now I really can't wait.
