A tale like no other! Embark on a magical journey through the enchanting cities of eastern Europe, both in 1937 and 2004. Accompanied by the music of Inon Zur and the Budapest Film Symphony, piece together the puzzles that will disentangle the mysteries of two lives entwined together

Solve challenging puzzles and riddles

A symphonic soundtrack composed by Inon Zur

The Budapest Film Symphony, led by the internationally acclaimed composer Inon Zur (Prince of Persia, Dragon Age, Fallout…) created a sublime score and interpreted meaningful themes for the characters and locations throughout the game

Discover the world of Benoit Sokal

Syberia: The World Before is the culminating point of the late Benoit Sokal’s steampunk and the wonderous universe. After the first 2 Syberia game’s in the early 2000s, now considered Point and Click classics, and the 3rd instalment of the series in 2017, Syberia is back in all its glory, with a brand new story that can be played independently and modern graphics

"With The World Before, the Syberia saga returns to its best and makes us forget the disappointing Syberia 3. This time, the few technical shortcomings are no longer disabling...

Decades ago, Syberia 1 and 2 enchanted me with its story and lovely narrative. This game captures the same feeling. I have a grand time playing this game. The voice acting, the themes, all woven together in an engaging, if somewhat somber, story. It's just like revisiting a good old friend after a long time, and sharing stories of love, and loss. Recommended if you like adventure games, either old school, or the newer ones like the Tell Tales series / Life is Strange.
