Valadilene
You were Kate Walker, a New York lawyer sent to Valadilene to arrange the sale of the Voralberg automaton factory. You arrived during owner Anna Voralberg's funeral. Her brother Hans, long believed dead, was actually alive and had inherited the business. You needed his signature before the sale could proceed, but he had vanished eastward many years earlier.
Hans's Train
You explored the Voralberg home and factory and uncovered Hans's childhood fascination with mammoths. A fall while retrieving a mammoth doll had left him with lasting disabilities, but his gift for building automatons endured. You found a clockwork train built for his journey and its meticulous automaton driver, Oscar. Taking Anna's place aboard, you set out to find her brother.
Barrockstadt
You stopped at Barrockstadt when the train needed winding. At the university, Professor Cornelius Pons helped you understand Hans's search. You learned about the Youkols, a people associated with mammoths, and the legend that living mammoths remained on the island of Syberia. You overcame the obstacles to leaving town while calls from New York pressed you to finish the sale.
Komkolzgrad
You reached the industrial complex of Komkolzgrad, where director Serguei Borodine stole Oscar's hands for his mechanical musician. To recover them, you agreed to bring him the opera singer Helena Romanski. You helped the stranded pilot Boris launch Hans's flying machine and gained access to an airship. It carried you to Aralbad, the spa where Helena had withdrawn from performing.
Helena's Return
You helped Helena recover her voice and brought her back to sing at Komkolzgrad. Borodine rewarded her performance by imprisoning her, determined to keep her there. You freed Helena and recovered Oscar's hands. When Borodine blocked the train's escape, you used dynamite to break through. You fled with Helena and Oscar, returning by rail to Aralbad.
The Departing TrainThe ending
You finally met Hans at Aralbad. He signed the sale papers without reading them, completing your assignment. Meanwhile, you had learned that your fiancé Dan had become involved with your friend Olivia. You initially declined Hans's invitation to continue his search and headed for the plane home. Then you turned back, ran after the departing train, and left with Hans and Oscar to seek Syberia.
