This was a "new" one for me. I loved The Adventure Company games back in the day. Point-and-click was better. (In time, companies tried to get fancy with 360 swivel movements, and those simply made players too dizzy to play the game for long.) These adventures have good story lines and require some thought as to solving problems, plot development, investigation, etc.... Although some of the graphics and movements might seem a bit outdated now, this adventure is complete with good cut scenes and various venues to walk around.
Moment of Silence is clearly one of the classics, like the Gabriel Knight series and Siberia. (Of the more recent game series, Nancy Drew games are probably the most similar.) Alas, adventures eventually downgraded to hidden-object scenes driving a purely linear story line. So, finding this older gem was a very nice surprise.
I recommend this game!
Dive into an amazing Adventure game and return the White Bird egg to the Amerzone!

This is one of those fun games that is, thankfully, free of hidden object headaches.
It seems to be a short or demo version, like the Kaptain Brawe part 1. There's more to it in the full game. Hopefully BigFish will get the full one at some point. If not, it'd worth paying for elsewhere.
One of the names in the credits is Benoit Sokal, who is also associated with the Syberia games and Sinking Island, which are all great games. Amerzone seems more like the Syberia games. However, this seems to be a venture into the 360-degree swivel style. It's not quite as sea-sick as some other games in that style, though.
This is a fun game, with lots of things to do, things to read, gadgets to play and several interesting places to go. Also, you have fairly challenging/logical tasks to complete. The ending video, in particular, is nice. There's a good story developing even in this shorty version.
I recommend this game!
