He opted not to take along the vengeful Dolmari warrior Likho, who returned to the Resistance HQ even angrier with Kian than before. He's explicitly there to save one magical in particular - the street orphan Bip, who he befriended in an earlier Book and whom has been a helpful companion during a few of his missions for the Resistance. In the meantime, former Azadi Apostle Kian Alvane has sneaked on board an Azari cloudship to the prison island Ge'en where the Azadi have been deporting all the fantastical races, or 'magicals', from all over Azadi-occupied Arcadia. I had to hobble the graphical settings to get a decent framerate out of the thing.īefore we begin, in lieu of a more detailed recap here's a very quick situation report: Zoe has managed to shift herself body and soul to the world of Arcadia, a power heretofore inaccessible to her and used only by April Ryan and the 'Draic Kin' (the nigh-omniscient Dragons) before now, and was quickly apprehended by the Marcurian Resistance after tracking down their base with the help of the irascible but lovable Crow. My apologies to Red Thread Games and you guys for the low-quality screenshots.

For instance, I've spoken very little of the Venar mage Abnaxus - until now he's simply been a cryptic hint provider for Zoe, but Book 4 will explore his background and importance to the plot in far more detail. I'll probably embellish the retelling with a few footnotes here and there on specific characters too - there are some that have risen to prominence in Book 4 (and presumably Book 5) that were either sidelined or briefly mentioned before now, and understanding where they came from is vital to understanding their present role. The former would be more of interest to someone who has already played the game and perhaps chosen differently, and the latter is generally what I'm most invested in as a fan of these adventure games. For the time being, I'm going to continue as I've done before, focusing on the decisions I made and the handful of puzzles and gameplay sequences that each Book contains. This game isn't going to make a lot of sense to those who aren't already familiar with the first two games anyway, which are still readily available (and highly recommended!) on Steam and GOG. I'm half-tempted to summarize the entire trilogy of games in order to fill the gaps, let alone just the first three Books of this episodic series, but I think that'd probably be too much pre-amble.

My recapping 'style' thus far has been one borne of expediency, as a daily blog series is no place for patient, deliberate rumination and the exploration of themes, characters and symbolism. For the sake of additional convenience, that would be Day 18, Day 19 and Day 20 of May's marathon blogging.

Dreamfall Chapters is now 'complete', though I've yet to discover if the same is true for Zoe Castillo's story and that of the twin worlds of Stark and Arcadia, and that means it's due time I finished off the series I began in the midst of this year's May Mastery feature last month. Well, my friends, shortly after E3 was over Book 5: Redux has indeed come out - it was released last Friday on the 17th of June. You might, or probably might not, recall that after completing the first three Books of Red Thread Games' episodic adventure game Dreamfall Chapters - a continuation of Ragnar Tornquist's true-to-its-name The Longest Journey series - that I opted to take a breather on playing and reviewing Book 4 until the release of Book 5, that I might seamlessly move from one to the next and not be left hanging in suspense too long.
