While many would argue that the Adventure genre has come and gone (more like
high-tailed out of state being chased by every half-wit and his dog), Syberia
stands out as one of the finest the genre has ever had to offer. While many
still remember the monstrosity that was Myst, and all of its clones, Syberia
breathes new life into beaten and abused Adventure category. Although highly
underrated by critics and the public alike, Syberia deserves much attention due
to the breaking of the traditional non-sense stories and brain-shackling,
ridiculous puzzles suffered by its forefathers, such as Amerzone and Beyond
Atlantis, among others. While I myself am more of an action gamer, with such
walkthroughs of Half-Life and Deus Ex to my credit, it just goes to show you
that anyone can enjoy what this game has to offer, which is an excellent story,
unique and realistic characters, and clever yet down-to-earth puzzles.
Now, writing a walkthrough would be the standard way to handle such a game as
this. But here, where so much revolves around solving puzzles, a straight
walkthrough can spoil one's experience if one looks at the answer. Thus, when
scrolling through the walkthrough, you should notice that for most of the
puzzles I provide either one or two hints. The answer will be listed below both,
after a pause. Hopefully, you can look at them and get the idea without
completely spoiling things.
There will be very few updates to this file, if any at all. I also don't expect
much email from this obscure title, but if you want, you can drop me a line,
correcting any spotty writing or errors here and there. And now, time to get to
it, what you've all been waiting for -- the walkthrough. You could also read my
mini-review...though if you're reading this you've probably already bought the
game :P
This is to be my 12th FAQ/Walkthrough. Since the game is so short, the
walkthrough probably will be in proportion with the game, with the least amount
of filler possible. I hope you enjoy my latest.

After the opening cutscene, you take control of Kate Walker in a hotel. Since
Kate is too tired to carry her bag any longer, you need to find an employee to
do it for her. Grab the [BROSHURE] on the bulletin board, then talk to Momo.
Take note of what he is doing, and then head to the front desk. In order to
signal someone, you need to ring the bell.
______________________________________________________________________________
Hint 1: The bell appears to be missing something.
Hint 2: I wonder if there's anything around here that could help...?
Answer: Grab the [RECEPTION BELL KEY] on the desk and put it onto the toy. Ring
the bell.
______________________________________________________________________________
Talk to the Hotel manager about "Help." He will take your bag up. Make sure you
also speak to him about Momo. When you arrive in Kate's room, grab the [FAX 1]
off the desk, then use your cell phone to call the office. Your boss says he
faxed you an introductory letter. Head down to the front desk and ask the
manager, whom will hand you the letter. Leave the hotel and trot down the
street; speak wit the baker, if you wish, before finding the notaries office a
screen later. Approach the door.
______________________________________________________________________________
Hint 1: The automaton appears to have eyes for something.
Answer: Place the [INTRODUCTORY LETTER] into the automatons hands and pull the
lever to open the doors.
______________________________________________________________________________
Talk to the notary about all available topics. He will agree to let you inspect
the factory grounds, and grant you his key, which he left in the reception area.
Since he's not in good health, he will retire and rest. This whole town seems to
be in a state of rot, don't you agree?
Before you leave, grab the [TELESCOPIC KEY] the notary left near the door.
Either you can head into the factory now, or later -- right now, I would
recommend you head to the cemetery, which is a little ways past the hotel on the
opposite end of the street. Since the church door is locked, head around back
and go into the only open door. Inside, various puzzles confront you; first,
walk over to the drawers to find that they're locked.
______________________________________________________________________________
Hint 1: You need a key, obviously. May God help your search.
Answer: Go over to the cross on the wall; move it to find the key.
______________________________________________________________________________
Use the key on the drawers; open them all and grab all of the punch cards.
Before you leave, notice the lever on the right side.
______________________________________________________________________________
Hint 1: This lever appears to be jammed, or at least stopped by something.
Answer: Pull out the third drawer down to use the lever, and take the [VORALBERG
KEY] and [PRIEST'S CONFESSION].
______________________________________________________________________________
Exit the room and return to the path you came here with. Notice the elevator on
the way; inspect its controlling mechanism.
______________________________________________________________________________
Hint 1: If that thing is to work, judging by the lever, I'd say gears are
missing.
Hint 2: This situation reminds me of Momo, for, as you may have gathered, poor
Momo has 'a few gears missing' (pun intended).
Answer: Momo was playing with some gears the last time you saw him. When the
hotel manager chased him away, he left the gears. Retrieve them now and use them
on the machine.
______________________________________________________________________________
Ride the elevator up and use your punch cards on the automaton. The purple one
will cause the Voralberg tomb automaton to bend out its hat and allow the
insertion of a key. Inside the tomb, pull out the coffin of the supposedly dead
Hans Voralberg and grab the [VALADILENE VOICE CYLANDIR]. Return to the street
and use the [TELESCOPIC KEY] on the factory entrance. At the fountain, take the
rightmost path to a manor, whose doors are locked. Take the path that goes
around the side of it to find a machine that may extend a ladder all the way to
the roof of the mansion.
______________________________________________________________________________
Hint 1: The key to this puzzle lies in wait, long forgotten and misplaced.
Answer: That wasn't much of a hint, was it? Well, give me a break. I couldn't
think of anything better and this puzzle is very easy. Grab a key in the
fountain on the left side of the garden-maze.
