Player's Review
"In the deserts of sub-Saharan Africa, a woman awakes with no memory. She is told that the plane carrying her to Maurania was shot down by rebels, but the peasants who find her know little more than that she is a college student from Geneva and her name is Ann Smith.
They bring her to the town of Madargane, ruled by a mysterious prince who keeps to himself behind the walls of his palace. In the face of rebellion, he is not letting anyone leave, not even foreigners like Ann. When she finally persuades him, he will only let her go on one condition: she must take a mysterious black leopard off his hands and return it to its home.
With the rebels advancing from the north, Ann travels south with the leopard through wild sub-Saharan territory. Her tireless journey takes her into strange lands; from places with tribes who never touch the ground and live in the trees to the cavernous emerald mines of the Zamarat region. Everywhere she goes, Ann learns of atrocities committed by the nation’s army and by the rebels. More and more, people seem to know her; there are murmurs of her resemblance to King Rodon’s daughter. The leopard, too, seems bound to her in some way - through their past or a destined future.
Why is Ann’s fate seemingly tied to that of a black leopard? Is Ann really the daughter of a fierce dictator? Why is this strange land in such turmoil and unrest? Unlock these secrets and more as the story unfolds..."
Just like Benoit Sokal's previous work, Syberia, this game that originally came out for Windows also made its way to the Nintendo DS. And it seems to suffer from the same technical limitations as Syberia: interaction with stuff is very minimal, some fillers were removed, plus that there is a bug where sometimes you touch any place with your stylus and it refuses to respond for unknown reasons. No postgame stuff nor anything after completing the game either. If you own a working NDS along with a flashcart, do yourself a favor and avoid this port. There are better games in the genre worth playing such as the Secret Files titles or anything developed by Cing.
