Hi Jenny Thank you for your quick reply I believe I look at syberia 3 on you tube and saw a segment of it And you are right it showed but I didn't watch the whole segment do you know if they have it on disk now or do you have to down load the full game. Will look for your reply. Thank You Bluto

do you know if they have it on disk now or do you have to down load the full game.
As far as I know there was never a version on disc. What was sold as a "physical" version at the time of the game's release was actually a Steam installer on disc and the game still had to be downloaded -- the game itself was not on the disc. The game was not really finished at the time of release. It wasn't until a few weeks later that they patched it to fix bugs and use the mouse, so even if they had put a game on the disc you'd have still had to download pretty much the whole thing in a large patch. You're better off buying from somewhere like GOG, where you can at least burn the installation files to DVD. In case you're wondering, Syberia 3 ends on a worse cliffhanger than either of the first two Syberias. It certainly doesn't end the story and as far as I know a Syberia 4 is still planned.

That's really a shame, too, as I think the sequel is when we would have gotten into the really interesting part of the story. What was going on behind the scenes in the World Union and what it was like to live in the Rogue States. I'm glad we at least got the first game, as it was great, but I feel that we needed at least one sequel to get the complete story. Bluto and Jenny, there is a point and click option for Syberia 3 now. It seems to work pretty well, but I've only tested it out a bit so far. It may or may not work well throughout the entire game, but just so you know, there is an option to play it that way. I agree with Jenny (I watched a full playthrough a while back before I had the game) that the cliffhanger is much worse than the cliffhanger(s) in either of the previous two Syberias. I didn't even consider Syberia 2's ending a cliffhanger, just an ambiguous "so what now?" type of ending. I thought the series could have ended there, and while I liked Syberia 3 well enough, I don't think it's as good as the other two.

He wrote a great novel called Culpa Innata (we did a signed giveaway here) and said in 2013 he would at some point write another novel to complete it. He has disappeared from the radar the last couple years.

Bluto, I know, it's really a shame. The developers didn't receive the money they were owed, so the planned sequel was never made. My friend, Thorsgoats, won a copy of the book in the giveaway Ana mentioned. I read part of it myself but never finished it. Which reminds me, I'll have to borrow it again so I can get back to it sometime. From what I remember, it was essentially the same story told in the game but with some additional characters and scenes. Hope you enjoy Syberia 3 when you get to it.
