Cyberia is set in 2027, where the world is controlled by two rival superpowers, the Free World Alliance and the Cartel. The western-bloc spy has discovered a secret laboratory deep within Siberia, known as the Cyberia Complex, where a mysterious weapon is being developed. Zak, a cyber-hacker, is sent to infiltrate the complex to uncover the truth about the Cyberia weapon.
Zak's mission becomes even more complicated when the Cartel also becomes interested in the weapon and sends their forces to stop him. He must navigate through the complex while avoiding the Cartel agents who have taken control, as well as genetically engineered creatures created by the scientists.
Cyberia is an action-adventure game with puzzle sequences and a strong emphasis on scripted events and cutscenes. The gameplay allows limited navigation between locations, which often lead to puzzles or action scenes involving combat, such as shooting down planes or navigating flying vehicles in Star Wars-style confrontations.

Manual
Game Guide
Extracted from the original game manual
In this cyberpunk horror experience, you play as an inmate trapped in a dystopian detention center known as the Pentagon Farm, forced to laboriously edit censored texts under the mind-controlling influence of a mysterious overseer. By managing your sanity and physical health while cutting "words" for the regime, you must uncover the dark truths behind the disappearance of your former companions and the sinister nature of your imprisonment. The game blends psychological thriller elements with dystopian storytelling as you navigate a decaying reality filled with hallucinations and suppressed memories.
Story
Zak's Journal Entries
We wanted, got most of what we needed, didn't hurt anybody who couldn't take the hurt easy. We were sitting on top of the world, like the old songs say. Strange, you think about it: I don't remember anybody else doing old songs, library books, only me.
Karo did wall hanging things, like frozen videos she called "oil paintings." Arla did old music that didn't have songs in it. Zak said, "You don't always have to sing along; you can let it go by itself." We were all sitting on top of the world.
Except we weren't on the top. We were on the bottom, in the abandoned basements with the junction boxes. We were shiny and glad, but the other worlds were big and mean, and the glad didn't last. I miss Arla, and I hope she wasn't wrong. I guess I'll never know.
Pentagon Days: Cutting Words
I looked over the words I cut last night. Zak said, "You're not blindly cohesive." It wasn't hard to understand. Two days in the Pentagon involved nothing to grab, waking up, eating, walking the corridors clockwise, eating, and sleeping or not.
While you can't sleep, there's the net to cut words into. The first night, I wanted to break the net box, I wanted to break it all, but cooler heads prevailed. Where did I hear that? Some 20th-century videocassette, probably.
There weren't any heads but my own, and that one wasn't so cool. But I must have had enough sense not to break the place I was going to spend the rest of my life. My life. I cut the words last night, and they're cut and burned, and I can't get them back.
So I'm cutting words for the ages, or at least for the FWA, the Free World Alliance. The name might be made more accurate, and I'll try to make what I say understandable to young and old. Where did that come from? But Lancaster and Gina Lolla? Are there any circuses any more? Not in the corridors of the Pentagon.
The Theory
I cut words for the ages. Maybe just for William Devlin, Mr. Devlin, sir. But I pretend the words will last, the story goes pervasive, Century 21 meets Winnie The Pooh. Not Mr. Toad, of course, Mr. Devlin, perish forbid. Oh no, Zak, your tame Sixth Worlder is completely absolutely indubitably under your control. Nothing will break, everything will be glad again.
You know none of this can leak back to the Sixth World, maybe Seventh by now, or you wouldn't let me cut the words. They're for the ages.
I feel fine, never better. No problems there. I could do pushups with my left hand while I'm cutting words with my right. Not likely for a net felon locked in the Pentagon to feel so good.
I think bizarro. I'm OK now, but the words I cut the last two nights were clearly not cool-headed. Not clear-headed.
Dope. Kindly Mr. Devlin and the Eff Wubble You A are building my body and breaking my brain. Steroids, hallucinogenics, wish I knew, old Karo could tell.
Karo. Karo would have the sense to say, "Zak! You cut your nice theory flat into the net! For half an hour, you couldn't unhook your fingers from the part of your brain you found in the morning light??"
Right, Karo, you're right. Erase today, breakfast's coming.
Missing People
Nothing tonight or last night. Waiting for more cooler heads to show up, then maybe we can all prevail. Like a tree that stands before the water. Where's Karo? Where's Arla?
Daddy said a friend's better than a password. Hard to believe Daddy was right, even one time. But he held some good songs, on those big black vinyl disks. "Stone cold dead in the market." Daddy hit the streets, the market, the bricks, the riot cops. I hit the tunnels, the basements, the cables. Daddy, I still hold the songs. "Delia's gone. One more round."
Arla's gone. It's dope, yeah, it must be dope, but I miss the people. I miss Daddy, he's dead. I miss Karo and Arla, they're probably dead, but that won't keep me from missing them. And I miss my BLADES. Maybe more than the people, and that's a bizarro thought, but I MISS MY BLADES!
Pentagon Farm
Sittin' down here in Pentagon Farm. No cooler heads here yet. Gettin' ready to break things here, boss. Only glad thing is I can still cut words.
No no, they can't take that away from me, but they could, and I don't know why they don't. What do they, what does Mr. Devlin, have me here for? What do they want me to do? "You got me doing what you wanna, Baby, Baby, what you want me to do?"

Keep a watch on the new inmates, Pete. Nice job your team did on grabbing the little spiders. Karo the tarantula, Arla the black widow
How to Play
Taking Action
In some instances, there will be an object or item of interest directly in front of ZAK. To explore or examine it further, press the up (forward) direction key.
If a character confronts you with a verbal request, you have two options: comply with their request or try to blast them with your arm-gun. Press the "A" button to fire your weapon.
Remember that you can only fire your weapon if there is someone to fire at. While in combat, aim by moving the direction keys toward your enemy, then press the "A" button to fire.
In most cases, ZAK can duck behind a wall or object to avoid being hit. However, ZAK cannot fire his weapon while ducking for cover.
Blades
ZAK wears BLADES: Bi-optic Low Amplitude Displayed Energy System. These special cybershades allow ZAK to perform three distinct functions to help complete his mission.
•
InfraRed/Thermal Scan: Activated by pressing the "B" button. This sensitive scan detects emissions in the InfraRed spectrum and traces of heat. The on-board computer determines accurate levels for any InfraRed or Thermal energy found. This scan also causes minor heat flux in the scanned area.
•
Magnetic Resonance Imaging: Activated by pressing the "C" button. This function allows you to "look through" an object, revealing important clues about how an item works.
•
BioScan: Activated by pressing the "R" button. This scans the immediate area for traces of BioMass (organic matter). Note that the BioScan has a very limited range.
Each time you use a BLADES function, it drains the built-in battery system. The system recharges quickly, so walk around to recharge if you run out of power. Press the "X" button to exit BLADES.
Manipulation
In some instances, you will need to press buttons or perform similar tasks. This will be clear when the situation arises, and you will see ZAK's hand in front of you on the screen.
Use the arrow keys to position ZAK's hand, then press the "A" button to perform an action, such as pressing a button.
Airborne
To reach the Cyberia Complex, ZAK must cruise the skies in the TF-22 TransFighter. The TF-22 is equipped with AutoNav, a computer-controlled piloting and navigation system. However, this particular TF-22 has a weapons system glitch that requires manual firing.
The route to Cyberia takes you through seven hostile enemy sectors. Before entering a sector, you will see a mission briefing and current tactical data essential to completing the mission.
Each mission has a specific goal that must be accomplished. The mission is not over until that goal is fulfilled. If you fail a mission, you will start over at the beginning.
You get a cockpit view of the approaching terrain and bogies. The computer often verbally informs you when a target is acquired. You control the targeting crosshair with your control pad.
Press L-shift to switch between standard mode and aircraft mode. In aircraft mode, pushing "up" moves the crosshair down, while pushing "down" moves the crosshair up. In standard mode, pushing "up" moves the cursor up and pushing "down" moves it down. In both modes, left is left and right is right.
Fire the TransFighter's weapons by pressing the "A" button. The computer boxes targets with horizontal brackets, and it often takes more than one hit to destroy enemy targets.
Enemy targets are bracketed with yellow brackets. Some targets require multiple hits to destroy. When you score a hit on such a target, the yellow box changes to dark red. If you hit an enemy and the targeting box disappears, the enemy has sustained critical damage and is no longer a threat.
During some missions, there may be blue target boxes. Check the Mission Orders for specific information regarding blue target boxes.
Your heads-up-display (HUD) contains information about your ship's status. The gauge at the top right displays Shield Levels, which fluctuate depending on enemy hits. The gauge at the top left shows the energy available to your firing control system.
Shield and Weapon Systems automatically recharge when not in use. The gauge at the middle left displays hull damage, which is not rechargable during flight.
After each mission, you will see a mission ratings screen showing how well you performed, the damage sustained, and an overall performance rating.
NOTE: The TF-22 is equipped with internal repair capabilities. After each mission, your TransFighter is restored to full operational capability for the next mission.
