The Story:
Casablanca, 2219.
Zoe Castillo is about to get involved in a conspiracy that spans parallel
worlds and hundreds of years.
Something is affecting our world: static interference disrupts technology,
and it seems to be linked to a ghostly presence seen only by a few - a
presence inhabiting a black house in a wintry landscape.
As Zoe begins her search for a lost friend, she discovers that there is a
magical world behind our own - and the search is now on for the one person
who may help Zoe unravel the dangerous web she has become entangled in:
April Ryan.
The Setting:
Spanning three worlds, Dreamfall features dozens of exotic locations, from a
futuristic Casablanca in Stark, to a magic metropolis in Arcadia; from a
strange city at sea, to vast subterranean caverns, and a dark necropolis;
from the high-tech halls of a Japanese corporation, to the frightening realm
of the Winter.
The following are three of the many locations you will visit in Dreamfall:
Casablanca
The warm winds of Northern Africa carry dust from the remnants of the Sahara
across the modern skyline of Casablanca: one of Africa's new megalopolises -
a centre of research and development in biotechnologies, and a haven for
shady business deals.
Marcuria
The capital of the Northlands, and the cradle of humanity, Marcuria was left
desolate ten years ago when the barbaric Tyren armies invaded Ayrede, the
Unified Country. Now, under new rule, Marcuria thrives - although the
so-called "magic ghetto" is making a lot of people nervous.
The Winter
In a place outside, in an eternal twilight, the bitter cold never ends.
Here, the black house holds secrets that will change everything...
Features:
Dreamfall is a thrilling action-adventure featuring three playable
characters, dozens of locations spanning three worlds, exciting set-pieces
with multiple outcomes, action-packed adventure gameplay, and an epic and
emotional storyline.
Unparalleled Gameplay Variety
You will never run out of new things to do! Explore exotic locations, travel
between three worlds, embark on epic quests, converse with fully voiced
characters, fight intelligent monsters, sneak through dark shadows and past
dangerous enemies, solve intriguing puzzles, and play fun mini-games.
Three Playable Characters
Experience the story from three separate perspectives, and use abilities
unique to each character: strength, street-smarts, and dexterity.
Three Worlds
From vast cities to deep forests, across the seven seas and into endless
caverns, above and beyond anything you have ever seen - the twin worlds of
science and magic are filled with challenges and adventure. But in the world
outside the worlds - in the Winter - logic does not apply, and nothing will
have prepared you for the ultimate truth...
Play It Your Way!
Multiple solutions and multiple outcomes place you in charge of the story.
Make choices that affect how people relate to you; solve conflicts with
cunning or with violence; and speak your mind in branching dialogues.
Powerful World Interaction
Interact with the environment through the use of the brand new Focus Field
feature, an easy-to-use context-sensitive interface, and fully analog
character controls - giving you total power over your character.
