About

Over two decades following its initial debut, the classic game Syberia has been revitalized in a thoroughly updated form. Delve once more into its legendary settings and indelible characters through an impressive visual upgrade, reimagined game mechanics, and the same spellbinding narration that solidified its status as a timeless masterpiece.

In a turn of events, Kate Walker – a highly competent lawyer from New York City – finds herself dispatched to a secluded village nestled within the French Alps, tasked with wrapping up the sale of an antique automaton factory. However, what initially seemed like a run-of-the-mill assignment quickly transforms into an extraordinary odyssey through Eastern Europe‘s picturesque snowy vistas.

With Oscar by her side, an extraordinary automaton who never wavered in loyalty, Kate embarks on a journey to discover hidden and long-abandoned locales teeming with peculiar personalities. As she tracks the enigmatic Hans Voralberg, a brilliant inventor chasing an elusive dream – locating the last surviving mammoths on the legendary island of Syberia.

A surprise, exhilarating, and profoundly emotional journey that will test all she believes is known about the world. First introduced in 2002, Syberia has long been a benchmark in the adventure genre, admired for its distinctive ambiance, eloquent script, and the depth of Benoit Sokal’s artistic perspective. This remaster presents another chance to re-explore this masterpiece, mirroring the path of other titles from Benoit Sokal like Syberia: The World Before and the recent offering, Amerzone: The Explorer’s Legacy.
