Continuing the adventures of Kate Walker and Hans Voralberg, Syberia II offers players a refined graphic engine with added animation, more characters to interact with, and broader environments in which to explore. Further enhancing the atmosphere are cinematic camera angles and a dialog system that now changes according to which questions were previously asked of characters.
The interface remains the same as the original game, with navigation accomplished using a point-and-click system with context sensitive areas that allow players to inspect items or points of interest more closely, initiate conversations, grab objects, and perform actions. The backgrounds once again consist of pre-rendered artwork designed by French artist Benoît Sokal, who also wrote the story.

Kate, Hans and Oscar, the humorous automaton, will travel through four locations on their way to the mythical Syberia, where Hans believes the ancient mammoth race still exists. As the three make their way through the harsh, but beautiful, wintery landscapes, many obstacles will get in their way
