In Europolis, a political rally poster is defaced to turn the politician's face into a relatively detailed drawing of female genetalia, complete with a subtle subtitle that reads 'clit raider'. Throughout the game, pretty much every swear word going crops up, and fairly frequently at that - on top of the usual sh*t, f*ck and p*ss, there's also b*llocks, sod off, arsehole, c*nt and buggered for a bit of variety too.Īs for sexual content, you'll come across some relatively overt references and activities during your travels. Another guy, a salty old rebel who breaks you out of prison, gets a bit more creative with his expletives, cursing the "Mo-jaal's unclean genitals" and "the Mo-jaal's bloated testes". Set in a troubled world in political turmoil, Dreamfall Chapters does veer into the mature at times, whether it's Zoe's diary entries alluding to a sex-filled holiday, a friend who embellishes everything they say with at least a dozen utterances of the word 'sh*t', or stabbing a dying guy with a knife to put him out of his misery, leaving him in a growing pool of blood. "Go to the Lea Uminska campaign headquarter right next to the synagogue in the souk to meet up with Baruti Maphane."."Drop Reza's lunch off at The Hand That Feeds, down by the riverside.".

As such, it's probably best to leave this one to the more confident readers. While much of the game is fully voiced, requiring little in the way of actual reading, there are a few segments, mission prompts and documents that are solely text-based, making it harder to fumble through as a non-reader. While you can solve most puzzles through persistence and experimentation alone, it does give the game something of a steep learning curve, only in a mental, rather than a physical/reaction based way - especially as there's no hint system to help you out along the way. Generally requiring a bit of a specific way of thinking and a different type of logic, this is a game that'll present you with nothing more than a pillow, a broom and a locked door, and expect you to know what to do next (the answer is stick the pillow on the broom handle, dangle the pillow out the window and get the guards to shoot a few arrows at it then you can use said arrows to pick the lock). How easy is Dreamfall Chapters to pick up and play?Īs with most games of its ilk, Dreamfall Chapters is hard in a bit of a different way to your traditional quick-fire shooter or precision platformer - instead, its difficulty lies in figuring out the many puzzles along the way. To make things even more interesting, often, there isn't a real "right" answer, with even the most mundane of decisions, such as whether you bought your boyfriend sausages or soup for dinner, having surprisingly far-reaching consequences.

Whether you're destroying a monster under the bed with a torch, picking locks in a prison with an arrow, or playing off two competing merchants to haggle down the price on a bottle of wine, being clever with your surroundings is the key.Īt certain points in the game, you'll be faced with an important choice to make - one that will affect your standing with other characters, alter the course of the story or decide whether someone lives or dies. A point-and-click adventure at its heart, Dreamfall Chapters is very much about exploration, experimentation and puzzle solving. Talking to the game's many characters, you'll uncover useful bits of information and key plot points, while the game's many puzzles will require some clever usage of items.
