This continuation to the acclaimed original is a third-person puzzle-solving
game. Stylistically identical to the first Syberia, this one also introduces more
realistic character animation. The game includes a recap of the first chapter, so
therefore does not require the player to have experienced the first game. Embarking
on a desperate search for Hans Voralberg, Kate Walker crosses Europe from West to
East. She has left behind all her worldly possessions with the express purpose of
joining the heir of the Voralberg family on his journey. Together, through mystical
and enchanting lands, they will find their way to the mythical Syberia, land of the
forgotten mammoths. The train leaves Aralbad under a quiet snowfall. Kate, Hans, and
Oscar, the loyal, humorous automaton, are heading to Romansbourg, the first of the
four worlds to be explored. The motley crew will clear the last bastions of Russian
civilization followed by the Frozen North before arriving at Youkol Village, from
where they will try to reach their final destination: Syberia. Along the way, they
will have to overcome many obstacles and deal with shady characters to uncover clues
vital to the continuation of their quest. Kate's timeless journey through Valadilene, Barrockstadt, Komkolzgrad and Aralbad has sparked an evolution in her character, from
an ambitious lawyer to a curious and tenacious adventuress. Kate's role has undergone
a remarkable change. From being the pursuant, she becomes Han's main acolyte, his
support in attaining the forgotten realm of the mammoths. |
