The character Emmanuelle in the game is the wife of a French businessman whose job requires constant travelling, thus leaving Emmanuelle unfulfilled. Emmanuelle has taken a lover, Marc, but later suffers pangs of conscience, because she still loves her husband. Emmanuelle travels to Rio de Janeiro in Brazil to escape him, but is followed by Marc. The aim of the game is to augment Marc's erotic potential so he can seduce Emmanuelle again. The player's "erotic potential" is increased by following the three laws of eroticism: law of numbers (seduce as many ladies as you can), law of asymmetry (try to seduce an odd number of ladies) and a law of surprise (seduce preferably concealed/masked ladies). Furthermore, the player should find three erotic statuettes. The game involves no hardcore scenes, though the Marc persona might catch Emmanuelle disrobing by looking through a certain keyhole. More often, however, Marc sees only an old gentleman who is engaged in washing his feet.

The DOS version supports EGA, CGA and monochrome graphics, while the Amiga and Atari ST versions uses 16 colours. Emmanuelle is a point-and-click adventure, but the DOS version has no mouse support. The game uses multiple-choice dialogues for conversations. The game includes sub-games such as gambling at a casino where the player has to raise money for flight tickets. The player might also end up fighting with angry husbands and smugglers due to their exploits.
