Quite the puzzling retro indeed! We love it! Yep!

Charming story, incredible atmosphere and architectural design. Would recommend using a guide.

An absolutely AMAZING point and click game that goes way beyond the realms of "ordinary." This game tells the story of Kate Walker, a lawyer who is tasked with finalising the sale of an automaton factory, but it goes far beyond that with highly involved dialogues with multiple strange and unique characters set into a background that is highly detailed and visually exquisite. The game play is smooth and the voice acting is superb. But be ready for lots of going back and forth to locations and running around! Definitely worth the purchase!

Beautifull scenery, cool story. Some puzzles were hard

pretty outdated, puzzles don't make much sense. I did not enjoy

Good game story is interesting some of the puzzles were really hard to figure out and I had to look up a guide but overall the game was fun

this is actually such a beautiful game, i always said to myself while i was playing this "why is this game so underrated?" and then i looked it up and i think they were the best adventure game of its time, like on goty level. the story is really good really nice, and i know old games doesnt rely much onto their storyline but wow this was amazing, the graphics is good for its time, like on cutscenes when helena romanski sung on that komkolzgrad factory is really good, i was amazed. puzzle is way to hard on my monke brain, i often look for guides on google lol, i mean its only like 5 times though, and i got stuck way too many times (ok thats maybe a lil bit too exaggerate) like i only need 1 more thing or like a clue, like that times when i only need to get a book on that barrockstadrt library to continue the game, but i just walk past it and didnt saw it lol, so after i got that book by looking at a guide, i was able to continue the game by myself. overall 10/10 puzzle game, fortnite kids might not like this one as some ppl said it was boring but no, it was really fun for me!, although i slept on it maybe twice, cause of that stuck i said earlier, but once u got it right on track it surely became fun lmao

This is a nostalgic childhood game for me. I played it back in [i]those dark, pre-widespread-internet days[/i], and I’m not even sure I had the wit to finish it back then. Honestly, I wouldn’t have made it through today either if not for the guides (huge thanks to all the guide creators — you’re the best!). [i]Syberia[/i] is definitely challenging. You don’t get clear directions on what to do next, and there are no real hints. There aren’t that many locations, but you constantly have to run back and forth between them, which can get annoying. In the second city, for example, I had to go through 5–6 screens repeatedly just to have a quick chat with different people about a plant. Small hint here: if you click the screen twice, MC will run instead of walking; doesn't work on the stairs or uneven terrain though. You also need to stay alert at all times, since the cursor subtly changes when you can interact with something — and those spots aren’t always obvious. It’s easy to miss things. The story itself is absolutely lovely, in my opinion. There’s the main plot set in Europe, plus a few small, personal sub-stories that eventually tie into it. The graphics are pretty decent for 2002. I played it on Windows 11 — zero issues. I also got prompted to install it on my M1 Mac, though I think that was a bug: it installed, but froze on the launch screen, and I couldn’t get it to work.
