Arsene Lupin - Once a Thief News

On April 24th, answer the call of exploration and set off for Amerzone - The Explorer’s Legacy!

Embark on the quest of a lifetime aboard the Hydrafloat and explore a forgotten Latin American country to fulfill the last wishes of a late explorer. Make use of your curiosity and observational skills to solve intricate puzzles and bring back the White Birds into this mysterious land.



Released in 1999, Amerzone had a great impact on the adventure genre and was ahead of its time with its ecological message. This game was also the first one Benoît Sokal created before the Syberia saga.
