Community Playthrough #29: Syberia
So far we have Windows, Mac, iPad and Android. It will be interesting comparing the pros and cons of each version.
And I’ll be playing it on XBox.
So now we have people playing it on Windows, Mac, iPad, Android, DS, and XBox.
It seems I can’t find the discs at the moment, so I’d need to download it.
In a few hours I’ll be ready.
Yeah!!! I will be playing this with you guys, this will be my first community playtrough 
Have it on Steam :-)
As I have this on teh androidz this seems a perfect opportunity to give it another playthrough. Count me in.

Wow, that’s unheard of. 
Could be very interesting…
Are there other platforms we can add to this? 
Actually, are there any other adventure games that have been released on this many platforms? Myst perhaps (although that DS version is about as fun as driving a red hot poker through your eye)???

Maybe this time I can be strong, but since I know who I am, I’m probably wrong. Maybe this time I can go far, but thinking about where I’ve been ain’t helping me start. - Michael Kiwanuka

PS2.
Syberia was released in PS2 too. Have to find someone…..

I Traded the Myst DS game in for the ipad version - which is amazing. Myst DS is terrible. Syberia DS is playable. It was NOT what it was hyped up to be - a major remake of the game with new touch screen puzzles, etc.
However, despite it’s faults it does look and play OK on a DSI XL. And I can play it at the same time I post - which is the idea.
I enjoy playing adventure games on my Alienware M17 r4 and my Nintendo Switch OLED.
I considered to download the Android version, but I will stick to the PC version after noticing in a YouTube video that the screens were covered with icons, which spoil the beautiful graphics. I am not sure if there is an option for this to switch this off?

You made the right decision!
I admit that in my Android verion I find no icons that spoil the fun, but that awkward 2D model of Kate is REALLY awful.
Stick to the PC version. Better by far!!
It’s time!!!
I suspect everyone saw that very interesting intro (one of my favourites ever BTW) to see if the game is working.
So welcome to Valadilene!!!
Here, you come for business, but the result is to learn about automatons, make friends (some of them quite literally!), explore the beautiful surroundings, and begin the most amazing journey you will ever have!!
And of course stealing, breaking in, destroying various properites, etc like every proper adventure game main character!!
You have until the 3rd of September to finish the first chapter of the game. Up to the point when you watch the cinematic that leaves you from Valadilene, that is.
P.S. Something I forgot to tell in the beginning. Kate’s cellphone plays an important role in the game. While sometimes someone calls her and she automatically picks up, it’s up to the player to make calls when necessary, something needed in a number of situations. They are all logical situations though.
P.S.2 How about some photography? Take the (in your opinion) most beautiful screenshots of this chapter and post it! But only 2 shots/chapter for each one of you!
In the end we can vote the best screenshot of the game!!

Just to clarity: Are we only allowed to post 2 screenshots from each chapter, even if we want to us a screenshot to illustrate what we are talking about, or to make some kind of point? Or are we only limited to 2 pictures per chapter in the “best screenshot of the game” competition ?

That one.
Thanks - that was also what I was hoping.

The beginning introduction cutscene is still stunning on the Dsi XL, at the time, the fact that PC ports would play at all on a handheld amazed me. I have at lest 20 PC ports on the Nintendo DS and one at least is actually better than the PC version.
However, the duel screen of the Nintendo DS is used well in this game and at least they got that right in the conversion.

Having missed replaying Gray Matter with the forums due to unexpected computer issues (!@#$ing graphics cards ...) I’m glad to have my PC fully functional for Syberia, a game I’ve never played before. It came out during the period when I wasn’t gaming at all, and I never got around to catching up.
Part of the reason for that is that I heard ‘automatons’ and thought ‘mechanical puzzles’ and then thought ‘Myst’ and then thought ‘ugh.’ I’m glad to report that I found the first chapter charming and not frustrating at all. however. The automatons are so full of personality!
I’m also stunned at how beautiful it is, especially for a game that came out twelve years ago. As it happens, I was just playing Knights of the Old Republic, which came out the year after this, and the contrast in graphical quality is startling. (I mean, obviously BioWare had things to spend money on other than backgrounds of very pretty toy factories. But still, it highlights the achievement of Syberia.)
