The dialogue between April, her friends and others she meets is a highlight. The game starts by navigating her ordinary life as an art student and continues as events become weirder (and more awesome). The Longest Journey tells the story of its heroine, April Ryan, a seemingly ordinary young woman who gets caught up in a magical adventure. If you’re short on patience, or like lots of guns and explosions, well, just keep that in mind while reading. I also need to admit that I am a big fan of the Longest Journey games and old style adventure games in general. Why? Well, if you plan on playing Chapters (spoiler alert: I think you should), then you really need to go back and play the games in order, or risk missing out on some great story and characters. However, dear reader, before we get to Chapters, we really need to briefly cover the game where it all started, namely, The Longest Journey (TLJ), and its sequel, Dreamfall: The Longest Journey. This is a review about Dreamfall Chapters, an adventure game spanning two different universes, Stark a place of science and Arcadia, one of magic.

Fans will have plenty of time to speculate, as the game’s Kickstarter will keep running until March 10 with more information sure to come.Dreamfall Chapters – Review PC, Xbox One, PS4 M Studio head Ragnar Tørnquist describes The Longest Journey‘s alternate Europe as “a poverty-stricken and thoroughly corrupted wasteland,” so it’s certainly ripe with cyberpunk tropes already. It’s not certain what kind of business Dreamfall Chapters‘ dual protagonists will have in Europolis, but it’s safe to assume it won’t be pleasant. The seedy streets should act as, well, a stark contrast to the markedly brighter environments of Arcadia. It’s certifiably cyberpunk, complete with shadowy, umbrella-wielding people drudging through the neon-tinted rain. You can get an early peek at the gritty streets of Europolis in Red Thread Games’ reveal trailer, running on an early prototype of the game engine. Now, it joins locations like the fantasy city of Marcuria and the magical forests of the Northlands as key environments in Dreamfall Chapters. Europolis had originally been planned as a visitable location in Dreamfall: The Longest Journey, but didn’t make the final cut. The city will be, to some extent, free-roaming and fully explorable (though you likely won’t need to point-and-click across the entirety of central Europe). “Europolis is not just the dark heart of Europe,” explains the game’s Kickstarter page, “it is the filthy bowels and bloodied entrails of Europe.”

A vast city stretching over the remains of Poland, Germany, the Czech Republic, Belgium, and the Netherlands, Europolis is a dark city full of shady characters. Europolis, as you can probably guess, is located in the latter. The story of The Longest Journey is set across two parallel worlds: Arcadia, a place of magic and fantasy, and Stark, a world of science and order. While previously detailed locations have been high fantasy cities locales full of magic, the newly announced city of Europolis takes a hard left into the grim realm of cyberpunk. Having already surpassed their original $850,000 goal and two stretch goals after that, the developers have released some information about the game’s setting to drum up support as they approach the million dollar mark. Red Thread Games has found success Kickstarting Dreamfall Chapters, the long-awaited sequel to the hit adventure game Dreamfall: The Longest Journey.
Prepare to point and click your way through the rain-slick, neon-lit streets of Europolis.
