Synopsis

"Help me! I fear for my life! By the time you read this, I may be dead!"

One dark night, a note bearing these words appears mysteriously on your doorstep. That note, and the mysterious disappearance of your friend, the noted anthropologist and archaeologist Dr. Paul Jamison, launch you on a dangerous adventure that takes you halfway around the world, to the treacherous jungles of primitive Peru.

Your friend Jamison has searched these jungles in vain for the fabled lost treasure of the Incan Empire. He has left you his only clue - the ancient Incan sunburst brooch. Now it's your turn to try.

But beware. Perils lurk everywhere. Everyone you come into contact with seems intent on hindering your efforts. You must contend with shark-infested waters, a tribe of headhunters, fiery lightning storms, rumbling earthquakes, a thundering waterfall, the treacherous captain of a steamer and his scurrilous crew. And that's only the beginning. From there the pace quickens!

Engaging and well-designed, with good use of the real-time element to introduce atmospheric effects. It has its share of annoyances, with the two rogues that appear randomly, take our objects and drop us anywhere in the map, but they are manageable (once you find out how). Puzzles are object-oriented and quite involved at times: things happen later in the game in locations already visited and there is a sense of plot discovery that is well paced. Not without flaws, but a fun adventure to play.
