EcoQuest II: Lost Secret of the Rainforest (1993)
EcoQuest II: Lost Secret of the Rainforest is a 1993 point-and-click video game made by Sierra.
This one wants you to care about the forest, and it is gentle about it. You play Adam Greene, a boy who travels with his ecologist father Noah to a research station deep in the rainforest. When the two get separated, Adam heads into the trees alone, following talk of a hidden place called the Forest Heart. The puzzles turn on helping the animals and cleaning up what people have spoiled, so exploration doubles as a lesson in how a jungle actually works. Bright, hand-painted, and aimed squarely at younger players who like a kind adventure.

A few thoughts on EcoQuest II: Lost Secret of the Rainforest
For the same gentle, exploration-first adventuring, Machinarium shares the hand-crafted world and puzzles that reward patience over reflexes. To the Moon trades the jungle for a quieter, more emotional story, but keeps the warm, unhurried heart that makes this kind of game easy to sink into.
Classic point-and-click puzzle quests
EcoQuest II sends young Adam clicking through the rainforest solving gentle inventory puzzles, and these are the golden-age adventures that perfected the form. The Secret of Monkey Island, Day of the Tentacle, Grim Fandango and Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis all reward curiosity and careful looking, with Machinarium adding a wordless, hand-painted spin.
Into the deep, wild jungle
The Forest Heart at the center of EcoQuest II is a rainforest full of secrets, and these take you back under that dense canopy. The Green Inferno and River of Death plunge into hostile jungle, Jungle Run turns it into an adventure hunt, and the series The River lets the wilderness itself feel alive and watching.
Story games with a conscience
EcoQuest II wears its environmental heart openly, asking you to help animals and undo human damage. These carry the same thoughtful, humane pull. To the Moon and Syberia trade action for feeling and memory, Papers, Please turns small choices into moral weight, and Her Story rewards patient, caring attention to detail.
Choose-your-path story adventures
EcoQuest II is built around exploration and helping the world around you, and these narrative games put that spirit into branching choices. The Walking Dead and The Wolf Among Us make every decision sting, Tales from the Borderlands leans playful, and Game of Thrones and Batman: The Telltale Series test how you treat the people around you.
