Those who follow the site know that I play a lot of indie games here. There’s a majority of people who think there is no value in indie games but for me, I honestly really enjoy them. Indie developers aren’t afraid to try new things and often times, I find the gameplay a lot more creative and unique than your average AAA game. Of course that’s not to say there aren’t some really strange indie games out there and I think Red Thread Games newest, Dreamfall Chapters falls into that category. Just watching the trailer alone has me scratching my head about what this game is about, though I will say the art looks really good in it. This is probably also one of those games you really need to play through to understand.
Dreamfall Chapters is a 3D adventure set in parallel worlds: one a dark cyberpunk vision of our future, the other a magical fantasy realm. The game follows two unlikely heroes on their journeys across worlds to save the very fabric of reality from falling apart. Dreamfall Chapters is a mature, emotional, dark, magical and heart-breaking adventure that will take players by surprise.
