Ode to Syberia (from DreamCatcher Interactive)
It's a story come to life
Without terror or strife
Where a young woman seeks to aid
The corporation from which she's paid.
So off she goes to an alpine village
To sign the deeds to a toy company.
And thou she thinks it's a an easy job
She finds herself immersed in the uncanny.
With twists and turns and puzzles galore
And graphics that can make you drool,
It's an entertaining world of this and that
And an imaginary world that's cool.
It's not heavy on action;
Your blood lust will not be sated.
No guns and no ammo or cities to build
But you'll enjoy what Sokal has created.
The only two problems that I can see
Is that your graphic cards need to be good
And the puzzles are quite hard at times
And you'll need to look up hints... I would.
But it's not for the killing mind
Or the strategic general.
It's more of an interactive story
That's very enjoyable.
A grade of 10 would be too high.
So, lo and behold a nine's just right!
