Book 1 of Dreamfall Chapters wasn’t exactly a thrill ride. The story of Zoe Castillo’s new life in Propast following her year-long coma featured sharp writing and confounding moral dilemmas, but it didn’t seem to be going anywhere in a hurry. Following an exciting magical prison break at the very start of the episode, Zoe spent most of the episode’s four hour play time bringing lunch to her boyfriend and doing weird fetch quests for work. The Longest Journey series has always been like this – front loaded with world and character building, with the actual plot only coming into play a few hours in – but in an episodic game such deliberate pacing leaves early episodes feeling a little content-light. Fortunately, book 2 strikes a better balance and feels like a more complete, self-contained story.
