Syberia

Release Date: October 20, 2017

I love point-and-click adventures and the PC version of this game has been sitting in my Steam library for a while.  Interesting to see it coming to the Nintendo Switch.  The game is the first in the series originally released in 2002. I’m hoping it inspires new and other remastered point-and-clicks to come to the Switch!
