The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

You unfold a lonely, snowy puzzle-journey alongside a weary lawyer and an eccentric inventor, solving quiet steampunk riddles in a world that feels like it's slowly fading into a dream.

What players say

Players say Syberia II is shorter and its puzzles rely more on pixel-hunting and backtracking than the first game. The atmosphere remains strong, but the story stumbles with a rushed ending and a cartoonish villain. Technical issues like crashes and the lack of autosave are common complaints, and opinions on the supporting cast are split, with many finding Hans annoyingly childish.
