I've been reading for the past month or so all the messages on this board related to Syberia.

I'm trully honoured and greatful to all of you. I'm proud that we were able to reach you with the story we designed and the images we created.

I just wanted to thank you for all you wrote.

Hi B.Sokal. I had to order the game after reading Gatorlaws review and all the posts here. I can't wait to immerse myself in this game. wave


It's nice to be important but it is much more important to be nice.

Even though I can't play Syberia on my present computer, I'm going to buy the game anyway, and save it for my upgrade. I've read so many enthusiastic comments on this board, that I know it'll be worth the wait. smile wave

Hello, B. Sokal, and to GameBoomers!

I hope by now you realize what a bunch of fans you have here for your game, and how eagerly we are waiting for news of any possible sequel. All I can say is, if Syberia doesn't win everyone's All-Around Game of the Year Award, something is seriously wrong!

A truly wonderfully sensitive game that left you wanting more. I loved the idea that while the backrounds and "set design" were breathtaking...I didn't leave this piece to end it "whistling the sets" * <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="cool.gif" /> theatrical jargon <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="cool.gif" /> * The story held its ground and made for an incredibe well rounded journey. A keeper, one to be savored much like a fine brandy.

I just wanted to add my welcome and thank you for helping create such a wonderful game. I finished it last week and can still picture it in my mind.

to GameBoomers! We are so pleased to have you post.

While I'm not a big fan of third person adventure games, I'll have to admit that Syberia certainly got my attention. I was awed by the opening scenes, and lulled by the music. The artwork is breathtaking. I have only just met Oscar, but I'm looking forward to the rest of this captivating story. Congratulations to you and your team on your outstanding work.

By the way, Amerzone is and always will be one of my top favorite games.

~Dee

Thanks so much Mr. Sokal for personally taking the time to thank this forum and its members. From the reviews from the fellow Gameboomers, I too will be purchasing this game as soon as it is available in the U.S. this September. I am looking forward to experiencing this beautiful game firsthand. Thank you for creating it and please continue to share your visions with the rest of us. wave

I just checked CD Access and it says they have ten in stock at the moment, so if you want one you'd better hop right over there.

Also, The Dragon's Den is going to have it back in stock on Thursday, for $5 less than CD Access. You can see that page here .

For years the gaming world has had "Myst" as the benchmark for sensational games. I see "Syberia" as a new benchmark for the adventure gamer. You can be very proud of your production and we are quite grateful to reap the rewards of your talent and energies. Thank you for Syberia.

Jenny thanks for the Dragon Den link. I just noticed they have Mystery of the Druids for $9.95 which is a great price if anybody is interested and much less than I paid for the game. <img border="0" alt="[talky]" title="" src="graemlins/talky.gif" />

How wonderful of you to join us! I have bought Syberia but not played it yet, however, I know I will love it since I loved Amerzone. It's wonderful to walk away from a game and feel good. Thanks so much for that!

Dear Benoit Sokal,

I haven't seen much of Syberia yet but what I have seen has impressed me greatly. Thanks for this expression of your art.

Best wishes,

Peter.

I'm as blown away by the beautiful graphics as the rest of the guys here, really can't think of anything more to add! lol I do, though, wish for you to let the person who wrote the music know, how much I (and many more with me!) loved the score! After all, beautiful imagery is greatly enhanced if the music supports it, and in this case, the combination est magnifique!

Congrats on a piece of art that probably will live on like many other great masterpieces! And thank you for showing the world the potential of gaming!

Dear Mr. Sokol,

Welcome to Game Boomers! It is an honour and a pleasure to have you here!

I, too, am waiting for Syberia to be available here in the United States. I am not rushing to get it right away as I want something for September when the weather here in Portland, Oregon is not so summery.

I loved Amerzone! In fact, I loved it so much that I got one of my husband's gaming friends who lives in Paris to order the Amerzone comic/graphic novel for me from Castermann! Even though it is in French, which I don't know a word of, I have enjoyed the book immensely.

Your artistry is beautiful! Please design more games for us!

Thank you for the beautiful Syberia experience. The graphics portray a vision, the music touches the soul, and the story leads us into a new reality.

Dear Mr Sokol, thank you for the beautiful games and the perfect execution, it is so nice not to have to hunt for patches before we can play. Your amazing talent shines thorugh not only the graphics but your undertanding of human nature and the gentle humor it is presented with. Kathy

Wow - Benoit Sokal replied in person! Welcome Benoit Sokal!

I haven't played Syberia yet - just seen the movie, played the demo and I've played Amerzone. I shouldn't comment yet, but that hasn't stopped me before!

I love the look (what I've seen of the game), it looks like "one game". Even though a number of people worked on the game, it doesn't look like the game was done by a committee; it appears to have a unique, integrated look to it, and it's beautiful too. The puzzles are integrated into the story (from what I've seen), and the story seems to be perfectly integrated into the game. I'm less story driven than most gameboomers (Game visuals are really, really, important to me), but I can't fail to be impressed by the story line, what I've seen of it, it's got a "page turning" quality to it.

I think the game (again, what I've seen of it), looks like a movie, down to the lighting, the "camera" angles, and the movie soundtrack. Are you (and Microids) planning to do animated films? Come on, you can tell us, here at gameboomers we won't tell anyone!

It's also great that someone from outside the game industry came to make games (I know, with other game professionals on the team), bringing so much to our game experience. I think the game industry is so much richer for it.

The sketches on the Syberia web site are also great - I'm really enjoying looking at them.

I have not had the pleasure of playing Syberia yet... but if it is half as good as Amerzone, I know I will adore it!

Thank you for sharing your talent with us and making many folks very happy!
