I adore the Syberia series and 1 and 2 are easily some of my favorite adventure games; right up there with Myst and Riven. But this one is such a deep disappointment. The writing is frustratingly and laughably written. Conversations are awkward, stilted and use way to much "tell don't show" which is excruciating at times - especially when you can't even skip the poor dialgue to just move the game along. The graphics are lovely and the music is wonderful - but those are the only two aspects worthy of praise. The story overall is trite, inconsequensial and bordering on being a waste of your time. It feels almost as if the devs of this game didn't really understand the Syberia world and mythos and just painting something they had with Syberia-like paint scheme. It was a dollar, but I still can't finish this game. Moving on.
