![]() Europolis looks and feels like a bustling city. Storytime feels surreal with sundry things floating in the sky. The environments are varied and rendered with plenty of details. In addition, one goal tells you to talk to an “Abby”, but at that point the character had not been introduced by name so you don’t know who that is. This is never explained or addressed, which makes it feel like that was just thrown in to give that section more challenge. Given that at various points he passes close to guards (particularly while going from one area to another), it doesn’t seem to be a question of proximity making him more noticeable. However, during a stealth section the patrolling guard has no problems seeing him. ![]() Before Kian sets off on his first mission with the rebellion, he drinks a potion that’s meant to render him invisible to everyone unless they know him well or he interacts with them. However, there is one thing that seems to be an inconsistency. For instance, at one point I walked into a rather grim scene, and the words “Your actions have led you to this point” appeared to punctuate the moment (way to rub it in, game). There’s a strong emphasis on choices and how they’ll have consequences. Enu’s character type seems like one that could get grating, but here’s it’s endearing (same for Bip to a lesser extent), and she plays off of Likho well. The new characters help keep things interesting. While that blurb does provide enough context that you’re not completely lost, much of the impact is lost if you haven’t experienced it firsthand in Dreamfall. For the latter, a little blurb pops up with background on character and what they did in Dreamfall for choices that require that context. Where Book 1 laid down the foundation and served as an (re)introduction to the Dreamfall universe, Book 2 starts to build on it and introduces new and returning characters into the mix. There’s an undercurrent of larger conspiracies on both sides, with both Zoe and Kian needing to keep a low profile. Meanwhile in Arcadia, Kian’s work with the rebellion begins in earnest. In Propast, the EYE Operative clamps down more on the civilian population. Accordingly, some of the decisions you made in the previous book affect how some things play out here (who knew a choice in lunch could actually affect anything?). (Sections from my review of Book 1, which cover things that remain the same in this episode, are in italics.)īook 2 picks up right where Book 1 leaves off. After a six month wait, a continuation to the story is here. It reintroduced us to Zoe and Kian, along with introducing new characters into the mix. Dreamfall Chapters – Book 1: Reborn was a long awaited return to Stark and Arcadia.
