How meaningful can a video game be? Can a game touch parts of your soul normally reserved for art, for music, for literature, for love and beauty? It’s not often that a game tells a story worth hearing, and not since The Longest Journey has there been one that has touched us as deeply as Dreamfall. Like with any adventure title, Dreamfall uses the game as a medium for telling a story, with gameplay elements taking a backseat. The bulk of most adventures outside of narrative is the solving of puzzles, which are your obstacles to moving the story forward. Undoubtedly, it would be easy to criticize Dreamfall for watering down the puzzle-solving elements and replacing some of them with stealth and action sequences, but the criticism would be misplaced.
