As someone who’s played both The Longest Journey and the first Dreamfall game, Revelations was an absolute pleasure, expanding the world and characters in beautiful, and sometimes surprising, ways.Dreamfall Chapters Book Four: Revelations is developed and published by Red Thread Games. Overall, though, there’s very little for me to complain about here. It’s difficult, too, for the player to know exactly how their choices have shaped events, which has been my one long-running gripe with the game as a whole, when player choice is supposedly such a key part of the experience. It is, perhaps, a bit lacking in puzzles for the accomplished adventure gamer (I’ve seen the term ‘walking simulator’ bandied about in regards to the game, and that’s a fair criticism at times), and whilst there are some brutal turns of event in the plot, some of them happen far too quickly. It’s difficult for me to pick out too many negatives in Revelations, which is a strong continuation of the Dreamfall Chapters series. ![]() Of course, it helps that most players will by now have developed something of an affinity for the characters, making their choices more meaningful than ever before. Revelations continues the strong voice-acting of the previous books and, if anything, increases both the quantity and quality of the dialogue. As ever, those beautiful visuals are paired with some excellent, and frequently quite atmospheric, music.ĭreamfall is nothing without its story, though. Accompanying some extraordinary new locations, which look absolutely stunning (and better than ever, given the whole game recently upgraded to a newer Unity engine), are a number of old faces – and old voices – whose return will be welcome for long-time players, and perhaps provide an incentive for new ones to seek out the rest of the series. It’s no accident that I bring up The Longest Journey, either. Not only that, but Revelations does an excellent job of incorporating the more mythic side of the genre, with some clever use of far older stories to complement the fantasy elements unique to this game. Whilst I’m rather partial to the cyberpunk Stark, in which most of Zoe’s time is spent, this new version of Arcadia is delightfully fit to bursting with the fantasy exuberance of the first game in the series, The Longest Journey. Arcadia is the fantasy side of Dreamfall’s two worlds, and it’s the setting for the majority of Revelations. Instead, Revelations crams in so much meaningful story that it fairly flies by, each new scene revealing some new facet of plot or the ever-expanding – and ever more extraordinary – world of Arcadia.Īnd what a world that is. ![]() It also, to my mind, felt like one of the shortest, though I’m not entirely sure that’s down to actual gameplay time. ![]() Most recently, that’s been Book Four: Revelations, the penultimate episode in the series. Other titles have come and gone, played for a few hours and then abandoned, but I’ve eagerly anticipated each new Dreamfall installment, and apart from waiting for the occasional bug to be fixed, I’ve played them soon after release. It’s fair to say that Dreamfall Chapters is the one game that’s truly captured my imagination over the past year. ![]()
