Syberia (2002)

[this-is-a-name-dont-worry]

i think one of the reasons the first Syberia is so special is because of how much nostalgia and loss come off the different places you visit

Valadrielle is a town that used to be big because of the Voralberg and their usine, but then automatons became less popular, and the town is now mostly inhabited by the people living there already. It's a town that lost its glory.

The university used to have new students constantly, but nowadays there is less of them; the mechanisms of many automates are now old and rusty, nobody taking care of them. You see mold and humidity on some walls. A university that once was so popular is now paying low its professors, doesn't have a top system of maintenance, and you barely see any students.

The industrial town built for a mine where people lived and worked, then got replaced by machines, and nowadays it doesn't even matter anymore because everything has shut down, leaving one lonely man to build a gigantic organ in the desperate hope that one day the singer he loved so much will get his letter and come to sing one last time, just for him

A place built for spatial conquest, now left to rot as everyone is gone. Only a man who drinks to not lose his mind and a bird of prey are there, sometimes disrupting the birds making their nests in old machinery

Aralbad, where everyone wanted to go once upon a time, and now there's barely anyone, only old people who arrived a long, long time ago

Then you, Kate Walker, arrive in a train.

Started playing Syberia. Again. This game series is so underrated. Benoit Sokal did a beautiful job on these. I wish more people knew about it.

I replayed Syberia again

So today was my yearly tradition of replaying my one of favorite games.

I adore this game, and will replay the second one maybe tomorrow. But! I just wanted to share here quickly.

This game is very nostalgic for me. I know this game like the back of my hand. I know every puzzle, every location. I know what you need to do in every situation, that game asks you.

And with all of it, I still will replay it every year. Especially if I feel very bad. It's not just a game for me, it's a place that I could return every year, and it will be warm, even if it shows me snow.

I know, that this games has it's flaws. And I do not deny it. But it still my home. Melancholic vibe, the music, locations, characters! I would sell anything just to walk on the street of Valadilene, or outside of Baracshtat University. I want to see sad state of Komsomolsk and i want to sit and look at the sea in the Aralabad.

So i keep returning to this little fairy-tale that was put inside this gem of a video game. I will be going on this adventure with Kate and Oscar again and again.

Finished Syberia. What an odd little adventure. And it probably could have been completed sooner if I hadn’t been stumped at times in the order of operations for the puzzles.

In 2025 I really want to make it my little mission to finally play the games in my Steam library. the forgotten titles I Really Really wanted, bought them and never played them. the games I started and then got distracted with something else. the little gems I collected because why not and then abandoned them.

I'm craving good storytelling and discovery.

Several sources seem to confirm that Microïds will be laying off the entire staff of its affiliate Microïds Studio Paris, representing some 30 employees, just as the Amerzone remake is due for release at the end of the month.

Microïds Studio Paris has only one other game to its name. Syberia: The World Before. And the team did a damn good job, and given the mess that was Syberia 3, there was plenty of work to be done to make up for that letdown. The fact that they were in charge of the Amerzone remake reassured me a lot following the surprise announcement of the game.

For several years now, I've been deploring the fact that Benoît Sokal's IP is being exploited by this company (the IP has been the property of Sokal's wife and children since his death). Microïds has been run by old morons for far too long, and the company doesn't know how to make the most of either its talent or its flagship games, acquiring license after license and releasing several half-finished titles a year. Syberia TWB never got the marketing campaign it deserved, and the game was shelved shortly after its release in favor of licensed games that nobody cares about. I've never understood how you can have one of the most authentic, poetic and message-carrying IPs in your hands and do nothing with it.

Anyway, I'm going to boycott the remake in favor of the original game (which has a better flavor to me anyway). Not sure if the game will be popular enough to be available for piracy, in which case I'll wait until the game costs 2 euros or even for free, which -knowing Microïds- should happen in like… a year? I can't stand these clowns anymore. Support the fired team. I really hope that the Sokals will prevent Microïds from exploiting their IP in the future, because honestly, as well as being tragic for the staff, this is just another blow to this universe in particular.
