Originally crafted by the late Belgian artist Benoît Sokal, Syberia follows American lawyer Kate Walker as she navigates a surreal journey across Europe and Russia. Tasked with finalizing a corporate acquisition, Kate becomes entangled in the enigmatic quest of Hans Voralberg, a genius inventor seeking the mythical island of Syberia, home to the last living mammoths. Accompanied by the endearing automaton Oscar, players explore richly detailed environments and encounter a cast of eccentric characters.
