![]() The adventure game element comes into play here as well adding a new frustration as you move from location to location which for example Telltale would simply skip in order to get you to the action but here it is a case of walking to each location. The pacing can also be a hindrance at times, especially when playing as Zoe with some dialogue exchanges having a vast amount of options to explore which can be entertaining thanks to the writing but can also feel tedious with the impulse to just skip it in order to get back on point. I do like that this game has very little hand holding and instead tries to immediately put the player into the worlds of Zoe and Zian so they can find their feet in them, but I did feel I lost out on not having played the first with no recapping of events within the game’s narrative. That can mean the overall experience will feel far more rewarded for those who played and remember The Longest Journey and a little overwhelming for those new to it as they will miss some of the references. The contrast between the main characters Zoe and Zian are striking, and experience of controlling both is fun as you explore both their worlds with Zoe standing out as a more complex character in her dialogue exchanges.Īs a sequel, Dreamfall Chapters features a lot of references and nods to the original game and sadly it does very little to try and bring newcomers to this game up to speed with previous events.

Completing each chapter will give you the comparisons of decisions you made compared with those that other players have made. I was surprised to find that it was more like the old school point and click games blended in with the player choice aspect of modern episodic games. This world is one of magic and fantasy with different races a far distant one from that of Zoe.Īt first I had the expectation that this would be like a Telltale Game in that it would simply be on the rails and making decisions along the way to progress the story and influencing events. ![]() Next we meet Zian, a fallen warrior currently in prison who after fighting to escape joins a resistance group. We find Zoe, who is in a coma, being able to interact with people suffering and aiding them in breaking the hold allowing them to return to the real world. Staying in that experience too long can lead to some becoming lost and trapped in their dreams risking their lives. We first meet Zoe who lives in a distant future world where a company has created a device which allows people to live inside their dreams and fantasies in a glorified VR experience. The story follows two characters in two very different worlds which are connected by similar events, with the mystery being resolved as you move through the chapters.
