is there a way you can lighten up the game its so dark in places especially the ice breaker puzzle.been playing it in some pretty dark places i dont see any place on the game play area where you can adjust the brightnes

Let's wait for another player to answer your question. I do remember complaints about this over the years but am not sure there is anything that can be done about it.

Meanwhile, if you have trouble with the ice breaker puzzle, there are some saved games here.

Also, take a look at the replies in this forum to your Syberia 4 comments, as there were helpful suggestions for you if you were not able to finish the game.

I don't know if the brightness can be changed or not. Did you look in the settings?

The walkthrough may help you through that puzzle but it was still sort of hard even with the walkthrough so you may prefer using the link provided by Marian for a save.
