![]() There was one particular moment where Zoë had to choose which kind of lunch she wanted to bring her boyfriend and, after the selection, text appeared on the screen telling me that “the balance had shifted” as a result of this choice.Īside from the obvious comparisons with Telltale, this game has interesting parallels with Life Is Strange, another episodic choice-based adventure game that had its first episode release in January of this year. Sometimes the level of signposting borders on comedic. Telltale’s influence can clearly be seen in the way that decisions are all really obviously signposted, as well as in the end screen, which features stats on the choices that other players have made. In terms of gameplay, the developers have made the infinitely wise decision to remove the mediocre stealth and combat mechanics that were in the preceding game in favor of focusing on dialogue trees and choices in the vein of Telltale’s recent output. ![]() However, as someone who has played the other games, I really appreciated this opening episode. There are, therefore, many plot threads remaining in this game. The Dreamfall games follow the story of Zoë Castillo, a college dropout living in the 23rd century who has the ability to visit the parallel fantasy dimension of Arcadia in her dreams. For those unfamiliar with the games that came before it, I imagine that the contents of this episode (the first of five) could be quite baffling since Dreamfall: The Longest Journey didn’t have a neat resolution at the end. Dreamfall Chapters is an episodic adventure series that continues on from 2006’s Dreamfall: The Longest Journey which is, in itself, a continuation of the ’90s point-and-click adventure game The Longest Journey. ![]()
