Zoë Castillo, the depressed college dropout from Stark (i.e.: future cyberpunk Earth) who had uncovered and stopped a conspiracy by the WATI mega-corporation to use their upcoming product to observe and steal peoples’ memories via dreams, had been placed into a coma by her mother, after which her consciousness made her way into a realm called Dreamtime. While exponentially less effective as a stand-alone story, it is nevertheless very much worth playing.Ĭhapters continues where its predecessor, the first Dreamfall, ended, with things going very badly for its three protagonists. As a conclusion to the story of The Longest Journey, it is as good as it could have been. However even as it struggles against its limitations, Dreamfall Chapters remains a singular, experience, and combined with its predecessors makes for one of my favorite stories ever. While its world is technically larger than its predecessors’ it feels like it should be larger still, and that it isn’t is behind many of its issues. And yet, it’s still the stage play version of events: think the original Star Wars, with the camera never leaving the Death Star. That developer Red Thread’s scant resources are just about enough to give us the stage play version of events, and to do so fairly well, speaks highly of their commitment and passion. It’s a story about life, death, rebirth, dreams, identity, depression, growing up, relationships, addiction, conquest, colonialism, politics, passion, genocide, racism, complacency, sisterhood, guilt, redemption and whatever other theme you’d care to find. Too huge, really: it’s the finale to a story to a game released ten years ago, dealing with plot points and characters from a game released in 1999, featuring three worlds (or more, depending on how you count), two cities, four protagonists, and the answers (or simply answers) to a million different mysteries.
