As Kate Walker, travel across surreal landscapes in search of more clues to further your voyage in Syberia.

Overview

Syberia is a third-person traditional Point and Click adventure game originally released in 2002 from Microïds. Originally conceived by Benoît Sokal, Syberia combines traditional PC adventure gaming with a dramatic plot, believable characters and a unique art direction that lends the game a very surreal atmosphere.

The player takes the part of Kate Walker, an employee of a law firm who travels to Europe to close a deal on the acquisition of a toy factory. As the player investigates further and uncovers new areas a story will unfold which takes Kate across many landscapes and ultimately leads her on a personal journey of discovery while unfolding the mysteries of other major characters.

Syberia heavily features areas of the steampunk fiction such as mechanical toys, automatons and a train. The steampunk aspect runs heavily through the story. Syberia is also set in the same fictional universe as Amerzone, another game designed by Sokal. Several references to Amerzone can also be found throughout the game.

Both the art direction and the script were praised by critics for their unique qualities and understated intelligence.

A Nintendo DS version of the game is currently in development.
