The eight year wait for the next entry in the Dreamfall series is over - Book One of Dreamfall Chapters is available now. This is the first of five episodes continuing the story of twin worlds Stark and Arcadia.
You can grab the full game on Steam, which will eventually give you access to all five episodes. Hopefully the gap between them won’t be quite as long this time.
The Longest Journey was a point and click adventure released way back in 1999. It was well received critically, and was eventually followed by Dreamfall: The Longest Journey in 2006. At the time that might have seemed like a long time to wait for a sequel. How little we knew.
Anyway, it’s out now, taking players back to the technologically-advanced world of Stark and the fantasy realm of Arcadia. Heroes Zoë Castillo and Kian Alvane return, and developer Red Thread, headed by series creator Ragnar Tørnquist, promises more of the complex, character-driven story-telling fans have missed, along with “a fitting, satisfying and emotional conclusion to the Dreamer Cycle.”
You can grab Dreamfall Chapters over on Steam for £23.99.
