The train eventually reaches what appears to be its end destination in front of a large statue, soon revealed to be the site of a Youkol settlement hidden underground. Walker catches up to the thugs and fends them off following a protracted pursuit. After she treats Voralberg with an obscure remedy of Youkol origin which she discovered at the monastery, two local men hijack the train and forces Oscar to disembark and resume its journey. Voralberg's health begins to deteriorate following a stopover, forcing Walker to seek treatment for him at a nearby monastery perched on a clifftop.
As a consequence of Walker's refusal to return to the United States as well as her decision cut ties with her employer, fiancé, close friend, and her own mother, she is pursued by a private detective hired by Marson & Lormont. Walker, Oscar and Voralberg continue on their train journey to search for Syberia and its living prehistoric mammoths. Upon meeting Voralberg, Walker decides to abandon her assignment and joins him on the clockwork train to search for Syberia, a legendary island sacred to the Youkol people and said to host the world's remnant mammoth population. This eventually led Walker to question her own life choices. Walker's subsequent journey across continental Europe and the former Soviet Union to find Voralberg is often interspersed with telephone conversions with her family and friends back in New York City. She learns that he is created and designed by Hans Voralberg, the last surviving member of the Voralberg family and heir to the factory, to drive a clockwork train that terminates at an undisclosed location in a Siberian tundra. Inside the factory, she meets and befriends a sentient automaton named Oscar. Tasked by her employer at the American law firm Marson & Lormont with overseeing the sale of an automaton factory owned by the Voralberg family, Kate Walker arrives in the fictional European city of Valadilene and witnesses the funeral of the factory's recently deceased owner, which is conducted entirely by a troupe of highly advanced automatons. Israeli-American composer Inon Zur is responsible for her theme music in Syberia 3 and The World Before. In The World Before, Mann adopts a weary and gruff quality for her voice to reflect the hard life and emotional pain endured by the character after the events of Syberia 3. She is voiced by Paris-based American actress Sharon Mann in all English language media. According to Stéphane Longeard, the CEO of French developer Anuman Interactive, 3D environments offers the character more liberty to move as well as the opportunity for the developers to introduce new or unprecedented gameplay mechanics.

Like other characters in Syberia 3, the first entry in the series with fully 3D rendered graphics, Kate Walker was portrayed by a motion actor through performance capture. She was deliberately written to demonstrate her ingenuity and ability to solve her problems with her intellect, as opposed to embodying what Sokal perceived to be masculine characteristics, like being physically formidable in battle or the use of weaponry. The character is also the subject of academic discourse which explore and analyze the series' underlying themes.īenoît Sokal has explained his thought process behind Kate Walker's concept as a player character in a number of interviews, such as the promotional video The Making of Syberia. Some commentators regard her as a memorable female video game protagonist with agency, while others have criticized her characterization as bland and her motivations unconvincing. She is voiced in all media by Sharon Mann in English, and by Françoise Cadol in the original French version. Kate Walker is created by Belgian comic artist and video game developer Benoît Sokal. Subsequent sequels explore the consequences of Walker's life-altering decisions and the personal toll they take on her.
She later abandons her assignment, as well as her life and career back in the United States, to accompany the factory's heir in his search for the legendary island of Syberia, a sacred site to a fictional indigenous Siberian tribe known as the Youkols and is said to be home to the world's last surviving mammoths. A lawyer from New York City, she is the central character of franchise media beginning with the first Syberia, where she is tasked with overseeing the purchase of the Voralberg automaton factory on behalf of her employer.
Katherine "Kate" Walker is a character from the Syberia video game franchise developed and published by Microids.
