I have it on steam - running it on a win10 laptop. I got an old pc as a gift from a cousin a while ago - I could give it a spin on that machine and see if it changes my luck.

It wouldn’t help in solving puzzles but you don’t think knowing who Oscar is and who Kate is would help him enjoy the game more and have some emotional connection with the characters?

I’m not sure of that. The Kate and Oscar in The World Before are the Kate and Oscar last seen in S3. I hope you aren’t suggesting that someone needs to play S3 in order to play S4. If anything, playing S4 might cause someone to go back and play the first two games. I think playing games one and two after playing game four represents a perfectly logical sequence.

I don’t have an opinion about playing S3. But in S4 there are a lot of references to why Kate is there in the first place, questions about her returning home. I imagine I’d be more inclined to say “who gives a damn?” to those questions had I not at least played S1. The ending might have left me cold rather than the touching conclusion to a lengthy epic I found it to be. But who knows? I’m just speculating.

Fair point chrissie. I did make use of that feature, though having played Syberia 1 close to 20 years ago I was still confused about a lot of events from the prior games. Which I suppose means Syberia 4 could easily be played with or without playing the others.

FWIW, Amerzone is on sale at Steam for $.54.

that’s a sweet deal.

I haven’t gotten Culpa Innata to run yet. Just from the premise alone I think this game might be pretty wild and I’m curious.

From what I can gather, I might get into the Syberia series starting with number four. I’m holding off for now because of the price and my budget for games, which has pretty much been slashed.

We could use some more input and players.. anyone else up for a CPT?

I’m looking forward to playing Amerzone, unless people want to play other Microids games - in which case I’ll pass and let them enjoy Syberia/Still Life.

Amerzone seems like a good bet right now.

I played Culpa Innata steam version with Windows 10 and zero problems. I would like to lead a CPT when I finish my translation into Spanish and test it, but I am afraid that won’t be before a year from now. I got some professional translation and testing tasks and obviously, they have preference.

About Amerzone, I think it was the first adventure game in first person I have ever played, and I remember I enjoyed it a lot.

Still, I would prefer an Still Life CPT.

I have both Amerzone and Still Life, haven’t played the former, could replay the latter. But I’m pretty busy now, not sure I’ll have time. So for the moment, still abstaining from voting.

I love Culpa Innata, but would like to replay it later, when I can really dive into it.

I have actually started a replay of TLJ earlier this year, to introduce my spouse to the story, so that we can also replay Dreamfall, and then finally play the Chapters, that I have not yet played. We are quite long along the way, but he really disliked Crow, and we’ve taken a break. Community playthrough might be interesting, at least to hop in after it catches us.
