High School Life vs Syberia
High School Life
High School Life is an interactive story game that might be a bit simplistic. Instead of having a deep and well-hashed-out story, the most you'll be doing in this game is dressing up to meet and flirt with boys, and hopefully, you'll get a date to the school dance, be it Homecoming, Sadie Hawkins, Winter Formal, Valentine’s Day or the actual Prom. You don't get to spend a lot of time in the actual high school setting though, despite being a game titled as "High School Life".The characters in the game aren't very well-designed either. The boys in the game seem to look especially flat-faced and honestly, a bit on the ugly side of things. The "texting a friend" feature is pretty interesting but it would have been nice to have some sort of interaction with your BFF at school, where again, being a high-schooler, you should be spending most of your time at.
High School Life is a pretty shallow version of an interactive story game and hence, is a poor alternative to games like Episodes or Choices, but it might still be enjoyable for some players who like something simple.
Syberia
Syberia is the first game in the Syberia franchise that follows the story of Kate Walker, a New York attorney who is tasked to handle the purchase of an automaton factory in the alpines. However, things turn out to be more windy than she had expected. She embarked on her quest to seek the eccentric yet genius inventor, Hans, and in her journey she got to meet a cast of interesting characters and clues that hopefully can shed some light on the mystery that shrouded Syberia. Of course, in addition to the point-and-click part of the adventure, there will also be challenging puzzles to solve.With a compelling storyline and a relatable protagonist, Syberia is a brilliant puzzle adventure game that will go beyond your imagination. If you enjoy a good story and fun puzzles, this is a game you'll want in your games library.
