About this game

Amazon: Guardians of Eden is an adventure game set in 1957, designed to evoke the feel of a serialized “B series” with cliffhanger endings between chapters.

Players guide Jason Roberts on an expedition into the Amazon after his brother is attacked during an earlier expedition. The journey eventually becomes a race for a lost treasure.

Gameplay

  • Jason is moved with the keyboard, while actions use a point-and-click interface.
  • Puzzles primarily involve inventory items and multiple-choice dialogue.
  • Action-oriented mini-games include sequences such as a canoe ride.
  • Some challenges require quick solutions, while others involve locating small interactive hotspots.
  • Players switch between Jason and the female lead during certain sequences.
  • An in-game hint system is available, though missing an important item can leave the player stuck in a later chapter.

The game was developed by Access Software and published by Big Finish Games for DOS, Linux, Mac, and PC (Microsoft Windows).
