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."
While not a long, epic struggle by any means, Dream Chronicle: The Chosen Child is still a fun, interesting game. Anyone looking for a solid, classic adventure game can pick this up without hesitation. The graphics are beautiful and the sound does a great job of not getting in its own way. There aren't really any flaws to speak of, but there aren't any amazing moments either. If you want to spend a few hours enjoying some great scenery and putting together an old-fashioned mystery, give it a try. The game even has a free 30-minute trial if you go through Play First, so you can try without much fear.
