Driving out to the house in a thunderstorm, you are run off the road by a shimmering apparition and are sent crashing into a lake. In short order, you discover other things have gone wrong--Roxy is in the garage, apparently dead. It's up to you to save yourself and the overzealous scientist from the forces lurking in the house.
Patience and close attention to detail are musts for playing Amber: Journeys Beyond. Critical items are sometimes hard to spot, and one or two of the scenes take place in very dark locales. When you can see, the graphics are crisp and drawn with a faint gothic sensibility, surrounding the player in a milieu of creepy sounds and ghost-catching gadgets.
The game is especially suited to beginning or younger gamers, as the problem-solving challenges are on the simple side. Even so, Amber: Journeys Beyond is spooky and engaging, a worthy electronic heir to campfire stories everywhere. Alyx Dellamonica

Customer Reviews of Amber: Journeys Beyond (Jewel Case)
Short, but magnificent I picked up this game years ago and only recently got around to playing it. I cannot believe that I waited as long to finish it as i did. <

>If you enjoy a good spook, but don't equate a lot of blood and guts with fright, then perhaps this game is for you. <
> <
>If you are interested in ghosts, and know something about them, then you will find the ones represented in the game satisfying. Their motivations are not the same, and their personalities come through loud and clear even in their settings. One of them most certainly kept me up at night, right along with its theme music running in an endless loop through my head. Incidentally, even the music is good. <

>Yes, the game is too short. You could tell they originally meant to do more to it. Not all the clues lead up to anything, and some things are implied that just don't go anywhere. The readme file suggests that the programmers believe the game itself to be haunted, (play it alone at night and you might not disagree) so perhaps they did just want to finish it in a hurry. <

>As for the difficulty level- if it had been much harder, the story wouldn't have flowed. Yes, a child could play it, but not a very young one. The puzzles do sometimes give one pause. Anyone who says they were too easy and mentions a walkthrough is contradicting themseves. Ignore the walkthroughs unless you get truly stuck- there's no timer. It's far better just to immerse yourself for an evening and enjoy.
Journys beyond the usual games into the paranormal
This game is actually quite fun, and for the price, its worth trying if your interested in the paranormal. Poltergeists and ghosts, this game has it all. My only qualm is the navigation of the game, and some of the places to visit are confusing, such as the under the lake scenes. I has a difficult time figuring our which direction to take, but overall, this game is fun and exciting.
Xcellent Game but will not work on XP
Whomever wrote that a Compatibality of Win 95/98 will run Amber then please let me know how you got it to run. It will load in XP, but when trying to run the game there is an error in the MOVUTILS file and an error of Script Handler -Both which shuts down the game.

>I suggest that if you are "really" tired of the games out now to train our future generation of professional soilders, then keep an old computer on hand so you can play the really good entertainment and thought provoking games like AMBER Journeys Beyond.
