It might seem obvious that this should be the case, given her veterancy, but there’s a big difference between merely adhering to somebody else’s prescribed set of adjectives and expressing a confidence in a character’s legacy and environment to the player. Even through such a brief stint with her, she’s easy to know. There are no ostentatious displays of character, no hamfisted methods of twisting your ear and shouting “Isn’t our character unique and interesting?!” As you interact with the objects scattered about and draw comments out of her, who she is is softly and deftly present in her word choices, mannerisms, and thoughts. Similarly, Zoe’s personality feels so strongly established that the game felt no need to explain her to you. The laws of the lore will define themselves naturally and you needn’t worry, it assures. Rather than feeling lost, though, it’s like falling into the stream of a tale whose details simply aren’t necessary right now. She’s adept at this – she knows the rules of this world, even if I haven’t a clue what’s going on. I suspect that the months she’s spent discouraging its use has bled the venom from her effort. Her small palette of dreamwalker’s powers are used to solve simple sequence puzzles and guide the frightened minds of sleepers back into wakefulness, her exhausted sarcasm warning them against the dangers of addiction and personal consumption tied to the use of a Dreamachine. We follow her into the fizzling, angry blips that represent unpleasant dreams. She’s spent her time in spiritual exile by helping others, easing the nightmares of dreamers. We join her in a world between others – a jagged snowscape where gateways to dreamers’ worlds flit into existence. Zoe Castillo, the heroine of this game and the last, gazes down at her comatose body, her tale indefinitely suspended by the tragic turn of events in Dreamfall. The life of a raven-haired woman is honoured with a strikingly beautiful burial at swamp and a man, appearing as a streetwise greaser tempered by a decade’s adulthood, waits to welcome his child into the world. The game speaks of rebirth, of beginnings and endings and stories.
It’s an adventure that speaks to many of the strengths of its predecessors while stumbling through other key efforts. Now, a month ahead of expected delivery dates (fancy that!), we have the first episode of Dreamfall Chapters. In early 2013, the clamour was answered with a Kickstarter campaign run by the series’ creator and his mix of faces old and new. From what I’ve gathered, the previous title closed in a way that stoked a burning hunger for continuation with a few cliff hangers. I hear praise lavished upon the writing, the characters, the lovely lore built into the world.
Major decisions that will affect achievements will also be highlighted.The previous two The Longest Journey titles are remembered by many with passionate fondness. Missable achievements will be highlighted clearly for the reader. I managed to speed through the second playthrough in around 5 hours by skipping everything possible and focusing only on mopping up missing achievements. Playthrough 1 should take roughly 15-20 hours. If you haven't played the previous two games, a lot of the game's plot may be confusing. I highly recommend you take time on playthrough 1 to listen to all dialogue and watch the cutscenes.

I strongly recommend you stay connected to Xbox Live as there have been a few reports of achievements earned offline not registering when the internet connection was re-established. The second playthrough only requires you to reach the end of Book 4, allowing us to skip Book 5 altogether. 16 Achievements are missable, 24 are story related and obtainable in playthrough 1, the remaining 5 achievements are also story related but require a second playthrough. This guide will help you earn all 45 achievements in this game.
