Well now, it seems like someone screwed something up on this one.
Syberia, a third-person, semi-realistic/semi-surrealistic adventure game, follows Kate Walker, a woman attempting to finalize a sale on behalf of her law firm. To do so, she has to travel across Europe and Russia, while her relationship with her fiancé steadily deteriorates long-distance. The game mainly has players solving various puzzles and interacting with NPCs, so there's going to be no headshots, no monsters, no trips to the bowels of hell; just a young woman on an adventure, who is probably going to break off an engagement. If that sounds good, you can buy part 3 on the Switch tomorrow, October 18. Oddly, you won't be able to get the first two until November 8th.
Something tells me that this is going to hurt sales.
Here are the official descriptions of each chapter:
Syberia 1
Kate Walker, a young lawyer from New York, is sent to France to handle the sale of a former automaton factory in the Alps. She's quickly caught up in a journey to the further corners of Eastern Europe, alongside a truly unique automaton called Oscar. Together, they discover incredible places and colorful people on their journey to find Hans Voralberg, the genius inventor who has gone in search of the last mammoths on the mythical island of Syberia: the last piece of the puzzle for Kate to be able to complete the sale of the factory.
Syberia 2
Having accomplished the ultimate goal of her trip by getting Hans Voralberg's signature, thus completing the sale of the factory, Kate decides to give up her perfect life in New York to help turn the old man's dream into a reality. Together, the very special team of Kate and the eccentric Hans Voralberg, accompanied by Oscar the automaton, set off for another trip. Their goal will be to find the last legendary mammoths of Syberia, in the heart of a forgotten world.
Syberia 3
As Kate Walker, players accompany the Youkol tribe during the migration of the snow ostriches. Together, they make their way through Benoît Sokal's enchanted world, pursuing common enemies and encountering unexpected obstacles. Syberia 3 on Nintendo Switch also includes the DLC 'An Automaton with a Plan', an adventure in which players play as Oscar, discovering a whole new part of Kate Walker's journey.
