Bermuda Syndrome is a puzzle-based platformer. You play as Jack Thompson, an American pilot during World War II, who is shot down but escapes through a portal to an alternate universe. You must use your wits and strength to survive the jungle environment and escape back to your own reality.

Jungle 1

Take your knife from your inventory and use it to cut the parachute straps - you will automatically kill the priest on the ground. Jump up ton the platform on the left and cut the ropes holding the princess. Jump down again and head right. Talk to the woman:

  • Fine jungle you got here.
  • I caused you trouble?
  • Hey look, you've obviously got your reasons...

Open the box on the right to get a rifle. Talk to the woman again:

  • Let's talk about getting out of here alive, shall we?
  • Ruined your life?
  • I can understand you wanting to be eaten.
  • So let me get this straight: you die, big chief lives?
  • So you're a princess?

Head right and shoot the dinosaur 5 times - it will collapse. Jump up to the platform above to avoid the snake, then jump right and run to the next screen. Climb up to the platform here and shoot the pterodactyls - the crocodile will eat one and disappear into the lake. Continue to the right. Jump up twice and collect the diamond. Drop down to the right and use the diamond on the dragon statue.

Caves

Talk to Natalia:

  • When I pull on the rope you pull too, OK?

Wait for her to hold the rope, then pull it too. Now you can safely head over the bridge to the right. Climb up to the platform with Natalia, then use the rope to swing over to the right platform. Quickly drop down to the right, turn around and shoot the stegosaurus 3 times. Continue right. Stand on the platform here to attract the T-Rex, then drop back down to the left when it comes near. Wait for the T-Rex to leave, then climb up and drop down to the right. Continue right.

When the 2 dinosaurs start fighting, shoot the T-Rex 3 times. Quickly reload and shoot the triceratops 5 times. Continue right again. Talk to Natalia. Return left and shoot the small lizard, then pick it up and head right again. Put the lizard on the rope near the river. Make Natalia stand up, then cut the rope and quickly shoot the crocodile. After Natalia swings over the river, use the rope to swing across as well. Continue right.

Shoot the dinosaurs as they run past and they will head to the right. Jump up to the platform and watch as the velociraptor follows them to the right. Now you can drop down and head right as well. Wait for the dinosaurs to continue going right, then head that way too. Use the diamond on the dragon statue.

Caves

Drop down to the left and head right. Drop down to the bottom left and immediately climb back up. Once the spider drops down and heads right, quickly follow it and make your way to the top right corner. Turn around and shoot the spider in its web. Continue right. Run and jump over the platforms to continue right. Use the green ball to restore energy if you have lost some.

Jump up to the screen above, then go left. Climb up twice and shoot the scorpion, then go right. Climb up and over the small platform, then jump over the large gap and continue right. Shoot the scorpion and the green slug, then go right. Shoot another green slug and climb up to the next screen.

Now use your hand to grip the bridge as you walk across.

Jungle 4

Shoot the 2 small dinosaurs on the right. Continue right and shoot another 2 small dinosaurs. Go right and shoot some pterodactyls. Climb down. Jump to the right and climb down quickly to avoid the snake here. Climb down again and drop down to the nest, then quickly shoot the pterodactyl that picks up Natalia (or she will be carried away). Keep dropping down carefully and cut the rope, then drop down to the edge of the water.

Use the hook on the rope to get the raft, then walk onto it. Wait until you reach the opposite shore. Talk to Natalia so she picks up a torch. Now talk to Tauron:

  • I guess there ain't a lot of room for modesty in there.

You will exchange your diamond for a golden orb. Climb up and head right.

Caves

Run right twice and keep going until you are near the statue with the orb. Turn around and shoot the 2 walking creatures. Return left 3 times to collect Natalia, then head right 3 times.
