About the Game


Unravel the intertwined fates of Kate Walker, a New-York attorney whose life was turned around by the call to adventure, and Dana Roze, a young and promising pianist in Vaghen whose career is threatened by the shadow of the Second World War



A tale like no other! Embark on a magical journey through the enchanting cities of eastern Europe, both in 1937 and 2004. Accompanied by the music of Inon Zur and the Budapest Film Symphony, piece together the puzzles that will disentangle the mysteries of two lives entwined together



Carve your path across an unprecedented adventure using your wits, repair broken instruments, open tricky locks, find elaborate ways to activate mechanisms from the past, but above all watch closely your surroundings for clues



The Budapest Film Symphony, led by the internationally acclaimed composer Inon Zur (Prince of Persia, Dragon Age, Fallout…) created a sublime score, and interpreted meaningful themes for the characters and locations throughout the game



Syberia: The World Before is the culminating point of the late Benoit Sokal’s steampunk and wonderous universe. After the first 2 Syberia game’s in the early 2000’s, now considered Point and Click classics, and the 3rd installment of the series in 2017, Syberia is back in all its glory, with a brand new story that can be played independently and modern graphics

Now this is a proper point and click! (unlike the 3rd game) Such a nice story, and fun puzzles. Before playing it I thought it has some sort of time travel, but no. Past events are told in stories or letters. The

The game asks little of its players, only time and willingness to go with the flow. Even the story's backdrop, a close parallel to Nazi persecution of the Jews, yields limited violence on screen. The puzzles were not

Yes, at times it was corny, some plot twists were nonsensical and on the nose. The puzzles were mostly made for children. Some of the characters (although, not many) were irritating and two dimensional (I especially

I was rather disappointed with it. Maybe it wasn't as terrible as Syberia 3, but it was closer to that one than to the first two installments. The story was just OK, nothing impressive, yet still the best point of the

Story and music is great, major themes on war, family, love. The automatron puzzles were decently hard and rewarding when I beat it. Finished campaign in about 10 hours. Hidden gem of a game.
