About
Syberia begins with Kate Walker's arrival in Valadilène where she is witness of a funeral march of automatons. After she had a talk with the man from the hotel, she finds out that Anna Voralberg, owner of the "Voralberg Mechanical Toy and Puppet Factory" is dead - which troubles Kate's original task to offer Anna a deal to sell her factory to the Universal Toy Company. Kate then tries to find out more about Hans Voralberg, Anna's brother, who also is assumed to be dead.
