A journey beyond compare... For the young Kate Walker, an ambitious lawyer,
the Voralberg toy company acquisition seemed like a textbook case -- a quick
stopover to a small alpine village in France to buy-out an old automaton
factory, then straight back home to New York. Her journey across land and time
throws all she values into question, while the deal she set out to sign
turns into a pact with destiny... Published by The Adventure Company, Syberia
is a 3D adventure game in the classic style. In order to learn the entire plot
and progress, players interact with many different characters and discover
objects and clues that will help them through your journey.
==============================================================================
Syberia is a 2002 computer adventure game conceived by Benot Sokal, developed
by Microds and published through The Adventure Company. It follows the
protagonist Kate Walker as she attempts to wrap up a sale on the behalf of
her law firm. In addition to the main plot, the game contains a dramatic
subplot, conducted via calls received on Kate's cell phone, involving Kate's
deteriorating relationship with her fianc.

Syberia is a third-person, mouse-driven, semi-realistic/semi-surrealistic
adventure game in which the player must solve various puzzles and follow
certain procedures in order for the linear storyline to proceed. As a pure
graphical adventure game, Syberia follows the guidelines first introduced
by LucasArts: it is impossible to die or to get stuck at any moment in the
game, which allows the user to fully immerse him/herself in Syberia's
universe without the fear of making a mistake or the constant need of
saving the game.

The game uses elements of art nouveau and steampunk fiction in its story.
Most devices and tools, and even a train, are powered by springs and
wind-up gears. Syberia was acclaimed by critics for its graphic design and
intelligent script, and a sequel, Syberia II, was released in 2004, picking
up where the first game leaves off.

Sokal's earlier game Amerzone is located in the same fictional universe,
and Syberia contains some references to it. Another of Sokal's adventure
games Paradise has no connections to Syberia but does use the same high
quality artwork and a similar interface.

Plot

In the game, the player controls the actions of American lawyer Kate Walker,
who is sent to a remote French village in order to finalize the take-over of
a toy factory there. Once at the village, Kate learns that the woman who
owned the factory has just died, and that she has a brother who must be
contacted in order for the takeover to proceed. Her mission takes her
across Central and Eastern Europe, gradually leading her to question
her own lifestyle. The titular Syberia is a mythical island on which
mammoths are said to live.
