What players say
One of the best syberia games so far very emotional and the story building was amazing
Exceptional in every way, music, story, characters, visuals, gameplay, production. A grown up version of Tomb Raider if you will, but instead of shooting dinosaurs you form emotional connections with characters. Buy this right now, support the creator and this studio, this is gaming realized as art!
One of the most beautiful down to earth stories ever. Truly a remarkable journey of finding freedom and getting lost in the adventure of life. It merely seems like a very simple journey. But to leave behind a life and chase your heart's desires is a very difficult yet a freeing thing to do. I just wish I could escape this life like Kate Walker. This game has the most personal and emotional core to her character...
