The Syberia games, directed by late Belgian comics artist Benoît Sokal, drop players into the shoes of Kate Walker. They’re fantastic adventure games that take players thorough a somewhat surreal representation of Europe and Russia. They’re definitely deserving of a playthrough.
Kate Walker, a young ambitious lawyer from New York, is handed what seems to be a fairly straightforward assignment. Just a quick stopover to handle the sale of an old automaton factory hidden in the alpine valleys, then straight back home to New York. Little did she imagine, when embarking on this task, that her life would be turned upside down.
On her expedition across Europe, traveling from Western Europe to the far reaches of Eastern Russia, she encounters a host of incredible individuals and locations full of extraordinary machines and an amazing atmosphere. In her attempt to track down Hans, the genius inventor – the final key to unlock the secret of Syberia – she will traverse both land and time on a journey that will throw all that she values into question, while the deal she sets out to sign turns into a life-changing experience.
You shouldn’t rest on your laurels for long, though. As of this writing, the games are only free for another ~60 hours.
