Syberia 3 (Сибирь 3)

Syberia 3 - Dr. Kate Walker is on the road again, this time across the snowy expanses with nomadic people. On the way stand a destroyed port, a sanatorium and people who really don’t like the presence of strangers. This is a classic quest: we collect objects, talk, fix mechanisms, sometimes solve a puzzle in the spirit of devices with gears. There are few clues, so paying attention to detail helps. The story moves slowly, with long scenes and attention to character. The controls and camera are a bit of a hassle at times, but the scenery and music keep things interesting. Puzzles involve mechanisms and wires. Dialogues give hints for tasks. Some items are needed for exchange with locals. The camera is rotated manually. The companions comment on what is happening. Music accompanies the scenes. Landscapes vary according to the seasons. Inventory is limited in size. Characters speak with a noticeable local accent. Items have to be carried with you. Riddles are solved through mechanisms. Some scenes are shot in close-up. A compass helps in open areas. Companions give clues. Locations change with the seasons. The interface is modest. The dialogues can be re-read. Items give clues. Puzzles require attention. The companions comment on the path. The weather deteriorates towards the end. The entries are made on behalf of Kate. Snow covers the roads. Mechanisms require lubrication. Locals talk about their troubles. The companion knows local customs. For those who like measured adventures with hand-drawn locations, the third part should be approached patiently.
