Microids is delighted to welcome the talented pianist Emily Bear to the musical crew for the game Syberia: The World Before.

An award-winning composer and recording artist since her professional debut at the age of five, 19 year old Emily Bear has achieved groundbreaking success as a pianist, composer, and singer-songwriter. She has performed on the worlds most legendary stages and is mentored by legendary producer, Quincy Jones. She is currently composing the viral hit musical Bridgerton the Musical with her writing partner, Abigail Barlow. Her expertise and love for film and media scoring highlights her ability to move between musical styles and to communicate story through music.

For Inon Zur “I found Emily to be a perfect fit for Syberia: The World Before. Not only because she is an amazing pianist, but also for how her own personality and performance complements the character Dana Rose. Emily’s unique classical virtuoso touch, along with her understanding of my music and the story of the game, makes her participation a tremendous contribution for the Syberia music world. I’m thrilled that she joined us as the piano voice for the score, I couldn’t hope for a better fit.”It makes no doubt that Emily’s sensibility will dramatically enhance the game score.

As a reminder, the prologue of Syberia: The World Before is available for free on Steam and GOG.
