About this game
Kate Walker is a lawyer who has been entrusted by the Universal Toy Company to negotiate the takeover of an old luxury toy and automaton factory.
Over the centuries, the factory has been developing clockwork devices, specializing in perpetual mechanical movement.

The factory's ambitions, however, are ill-suited to the contemporary economic climate, and the elderly Anna Voralberg, at the helm of the Valadilene factory for more than half a century, has decided to sell up.
It turns out that the takeover might not be as straightforward as expected.
The day that Kate Walker arrives, Anna Voralberg is being buried.
What is more is that she has left an heir – her brother Hans.
But Hans had left the valley at the end of the thirties and never returned, and was actually believed to be dead.
However, a letter written by Anna in the days leading up to her death reveals that Hans is well and truly alive and living somewhere in Siberia.
Valadilene's elderly notary entrusted to take care of Anna's affairs suggests that Kate find Hans Voralberg as he is now the only person in a position to ratify the sale of the family business.
Syberia is a traditional puzzle-solving adventure.
The player navigates a 3D model of the protagonist over pre-rendered backgrounds with fixed camera angles.
Puzzles are mostly inventory-based, though some involve manipulating the environment (such as mechanical devices).
The interface features a single cursor; only highlighted objects can be interacted with, and there are no verb choice commands.
About PlayStation 5
Launched in late 2020, the PlayStation 5 introduced ultra-fast SSD loading and ray tracing to mainstream console gaming. It's still early in its collecting life cycle, but the Digital Edition (no disc drive) has already created a meaningful split in the market between disc-based and digital-only PS5 owners — something collectors should keep in mind when comparing prices for the "same" game.
Gamevaro tracks Syberia: The World Before for PlayStation 5 with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Syberia: The World Before to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This PS5 release dates back to 2022.
