Dream Chronicles Preview by Meryl

Dream Chronicles LogoHave you ever had a dream that crashed into reality? I have. I ran into my dad in the hallway while half asleep and it scared the bejeebies out of me. You can stay that I was wide awake after that. In the beautifully designed Dream Chronicles, the story begins with Lilith, the Fairy Queen of Dreams, casting a sleep spell over the entire kingdom.

Yet, somehow Fidget wakes up his wife Faye. But is Faye dreaming or experiencing the adventure? Players assume the role of Faye who searches for Fidget and Lilith who kidnapped Fidget. Faye has two jobs: find all the dream jewels for the dream spells in Dream section of the book that guides you through the game. The book also contains a path, known as chapters, telling you where you need to go next. But before you can get there, solve the puzzles that block your way to the next scene.

The book contains 18 chapters with each chapter, for the most part, representing a scene with a puzzle or puzzles. The hidden objects part of the game comes from finding the hidden jewels and items to use in solving the puzzle. At the end of the game, the number of dream jewels you find will determine your final score. It would’ve been cool if the player could cast a dream spell after finding all the jewels for a dream. But that could make the game more complicated.

Press any key or mouse button twice to quickly skip through the jewel description, which appears upon picking up a jewel. After reading a few descriptions, I lost interest so clicking through helps loads. Clicking twice works for any content appearing on the screen for those impatient like me or don’t want to read the same content again.

The puzzles vary through the game. Some hidden object games tend to repeat a puzzle style, but not Dream Chronicles giving the game a unique twist. As you solve a puzzle, you move to the next chapter and learn more about the story. When you arrive on a new scene, Fidget gives you hints to help you in your current quest. On occasion, something glimmers on the scene to lend a hand. I appreciate those glimmers since they don’t give away much and provide just the right amount of help so I don’t get frustrated with the game.

Any time I want to take a break from the game, I left the game open. When clicking “Quit,” the game tells you that you would restart the current level. The thing is that a level isn’t clear to me. Is a chapter the same thing as a level? Semantics, but I don’t want to lose my hard work.

I figure out most of the puzzles, but a few don’t make sense forcing me to rely on luck. I’d like to know the story behind those tricky puzzles that I couldn’t solve. Though the game ending fell a little short of my expectations, the game weaves a nice story. Dream Chronicles should be a big hit especially for the casual games crowd with its assortment of puzzles, stunning scenes, storyline and low frustration factor.

We give Dream Chronicles a 4.5/5 diamond rating

  9. Diamond Gamer:

    Click around on the books in the bookshelf. One will reveal a set of symbols on the right wall. Click that and put the symbols in an order.

  10. Diamond Gamer:

    i am stuck on level 17!!! I have no idea what to do in the dark room with the staircase. I am just clicking around, turning on the lights, and I just can´t figure it out!!! let me know! I am going crazy!

  11. Diamond Gamer:

    Click on a picture, a tune will play. Then click on the Piano and the pulley thingy. Observe the keys as it plays very carefully. You have to copy then correctly. When that is done, one of the pictures will turn visible. You have to do that with every picture. :grin:

  12. Happy Heidi:

    When you click on a picture, part of a tune will play. Go to the piano & play it on the keys. The piano will repeat it & the picture will appear. Do the same for all pictures & you can go outside :)

  13. Diamond Gamer:

    can someone tell me how to get past the piano stage? I’m stuck!! Thanks

  14. Diamond Gamer:

  15. Diamond Gamer:

  16. Diamond Gamer:

  17. Diamond Gamer:

  18. Diamond Gamer:

    If you have any questions on how to solve levels of Dream Chronicles go to Play First and go into their Community Forum under Dream Chronicles and you will find all of the answers to all of the levels.

  19. Diamond Gamer:

    what do i do with the crystal in the library with all the books?

  20. Shell1308:

    :sad: I have to say I will a little surprised at how quickly the game is over, and the ending was frustrating for me too. Not sure it lives up to all expectations. The review by Meryl on this site sum’s it up pretty well.

  21. Diamond Gamer:

    :???: I,m stuck on the piano thing also,I’ve tried everything ,it’s frusterating….also the trial time isn’t long enough,why is that? all the other trials run for an hour??????

  22. Diamond Gamer:

    Help! I’m stuck at the trees! HELP

  23. Diamond Gamer:

    What a wonderful game! I completed all the levels, but I can’t figure out how to get all the gem stones. I was really careful this time through to gather as I went, and Im wondering if it has something to do with the ones at the very end, that give clues to the last puzzle. Any suggestions?

  24. jeanbean:

    Stuck in the Piano room too!!! I can’t find the last picture–I’ve clicked everywhere, played the tunes, but still missing a pic for the wall….any help out there?? AGHHHH! thanks

  25. Diamond Gamer:

    It only takes an hour or two to get through the game the first time, far less each subsequent time, and the end is anticlimactic to say the least. I won’t buy the sequel as it already feels like I paid way too much for only a portion of a game. I’m not gonna pay another $20 for the second half or, worse, the second part if they don’t end the story in the sequel.

  26. Michele:

    stock on the picture frames on the wall in the piano room, how to get out of that room.
    Any hints

  27. michele:
