I think I just had that dismal failure with Zork so many years ago (puzzle-solving/adventure text game, you youngsters - no graphics at all) and have kept my distance since then. Don't get me wrong; I like puzzles. But I'm a little nervous about the type that has you wandering around, collecting objects you'll need somewhere else, putting it all together and managing to not get lost."
Adventure Games writes: "Once upon a time, in a magical land not unlike our own, a little game called Dream Chronicles was born. Small but beautiful, it displayed a bold, adventurous spirit that defied its limited stature, and seemed destined for great things. It was a unique new type of crossbreed – part casual, part traditional – that went on to quickly spawn two offspring of the same ilk. To their admirers, this trio came to represent the best of both worlds, with lovely visuals and streamlined, relaxing gameplay that far exceeds simple "seek-and-find" titles in scope and ambition. Their detractors, however, would argue that these games also display the weaknesses of each forebear, stripped down and yet still surprisingly inaccessible and overly obtuse at times."

Casual Gamer Chick reviews the hidden object game Dream Chronicles: The Chosen Child.
Excerpt: "Over all Dream Chronicles: The Chosen Child is an extremely fun, but challenging games. The game play and even the story line reminds me of Myst. I really enjoyed Myst and I really enjoyed this game too. Players need to think outside the box to solve some of the puzzles and progress the game. There are times you can get stuck, but leaving the game for a bit and coming back seems to make things a bit clearer. If you like adventure/puzzle games, you can not go wrong with Dream Chronicles: The Chosen Child."
