"We’re storytellers, and we believe video games are the ultimate medium for telling engaging stories," continues Tørnquist. Player choice will remain an important part throughout the game.
The main conflict in the game revolves around a mysterious dream disease which threatens to destroy both worlds. The other character the game follows is an assassin and rebel named Kian Alvane living in the magical city of Marcuria. One protagonist of the game is 20 year old Zoë Castillo, who lives in a dystopian European cyberpunk world two centuries in the future. Similarly, Dreamfall Chapters will take players through a "neon-lit cyberpunk vision of the future," and "a colorful and magical fantasy realm." It followed a young art student who was able to shift between the dimensions of magic and technology. The adventure game makes a return to the world introduced in The Longest Journey - a game which came out almost 15 years ago.
"Dreamfall Chapters is a game about choice and consequence, about how the actions you take and the decisions you make - no matter how small or seemingly insignificant - touch the people around us, and how our lives in turn are shaped by the choices made by others," said Red Thread Games Creative Director Ragnar Tørnquist.
