There's not much you could call 'gameplay' here really, it's a bunch of beautiful mini-movies playing one after the other. As with Books 1 and 2, the only issue with calling Books 3-5 'games' are their limited interactivity.

The magical world of Arcadia on its own is worth a folder full of screenshots.

Along with the well-written story, Dreamfall Chapters: Books 3-5 offer great voice acting and truly beautiful graphics. Humor also plays a big part in the game's success, since it prevents the narrative from becoming too heavy and melodramatic. As strange as things get, the story's emotional core is what holds it together everyone's felt loss, betrayal, anger, love and fear and can identify with the heroes' uniquely human flaws. If things were surreal in the first two books, they're even trippier here the story jumps back and forth among the dream world and the two waking ones, effortlessly weaving multiple threads into a thought-provokingly weird story arc. Both characters are appealing because they're realistically drawn full of doubt and self-recrimination, but determined to do whatever it takes to redeem themselves for past failures. They brilliantly deliver the pay-off set up by the first two, digging into Zoe and Kian's fears and letting you tag along as they overcome their respective challenges. The last three books of this series take you even deeper into the compelling worlds of Stark and Arcadia, providing a truly thought-provoking tale.
