A fairy-tale puzzle adventure about rescuing a sleeping kingdom
The briefing
In Dream Chronicles, Faye awakens to find that her husband, Fidget, has been taken by the mysterious fairy Lilith. While the rest of the kingdom sleeps under a magical spell, Faye must rescue him and restore the kingdom.
The game spans 18 chapters, each presented as a single location containing puzzles and hidden jewels. Challenges include inventory-based tasks alongside mathematical and logic puzzles. Finding jewels does not solve the puzzles, but can reveal more about the story and improve the final score. Completion time also affects scoring.
Locations use pre-rendered 3D stills viewed from a first-person perspective. Each chapter must be completed before progressing, chapters cannot be revisited, and missed jewels are permanently unavailable. The narrative unfolds through visions, diary entries, and Faye's comments.
