Max Stern

Max Stern is a story-driven platformer set in an alternative mid-19th century. You play as Max, a former officer of Her Vaporous Majesty turned smuggler, whose airship is hit while carrying contraband ammunition over a mysterious tropical island. The impact throws Max into the jungle while the airship continues on autopilot and crashes at the island’s other end. Max sets out through the thicket to find it or its wreckage.

The island’s history

The island is filled with jungle, ruined buildings, traps and armed skeletons. As Max makes his way toward the airship, he encounters the story of Spanish colonists and native Indians caught up in a monstrous sequence of events centuries earlier. You piece together this complicated chronicle, solve riddles and witness its horrors while trying to survive.

Fight and explore

You use a variety of guns against enemies, and can deploy mines when your weapons are not enough. The skeletons carry different equipment and weapons, so even though they are not very smart, they can still be dangerous. Some obstacles also require solving puzzles rather than shooting.

The island contains hidden places and secret levels for you to find.
