A good place to own a gun.
Retarded request, I know.

Adventure game, heavy on the puzzle a la myst. Eastern European influence/setting/developer (one or more of the three). Theme is clockwork automation: not exactly steampunk, but some type of alternate past where clockwork devices are prominent. If I recall, the opening scene is in an office of some sort that resembles a train station, hotel desk or perhaps telegraph office. The plot involves your father having been an inventor, perhaps? Of said clockwork stuff? The feel of the opening sequence in the aforementioned office was of a deserted area, with only the clockwork puzzles/devices to interact with.

Can you find Syberia on some digital download site? I don't think I could find it on Steam or GOG or D2D. Just wondering, as I always wanted to play this.

Is the Pirate Bay considered a 'digital download site'?

I'd rather not remove anything from inventory. But I think that may be the only choice, sadly.

You're welcome. Syberia just so happens to be one of the very few adventure games I've played.

I liked Cyberia very much.
