New description:

 The way to open inventory in the Tetraedge version of Syberia doesn't seem
 elegant to me. There is always a rather strange box in the bottom right
 corner of the screen that can partially hide some bits of the background
 or hotspot markers, for example: at the waiting room in the notary office
 and a stand for a collection item on the train. ScummVM places the box
 slightly lower than e.g. native Android version (I can't test it for
 MacOS) and at the very border of the screen - which may be a little
 better, but still not that good when compared to the Virtools version -
 with right-click inventory access and the box only visible when an
 inventory item is selected. IMHO  the classic Windows version looks and
 feels better when playing with a mouse.

 Since the inventory box is hidden during dialogue and in-game cutscenes,
 it seems that there should be a way to hide it using some sort of a new
 hack.
