Ms.45Dream Chronicles is a sensual delight, an intellectual challenge, and a very engaging twist on adventure, seek-and-find and puzzle games. It's been compared to Myst and Uru, and whilst it's certainly not as demanding as those mainstream titles, I found Dream Chronicles even more enjoyable.

Dream ChroniclesYou play Faye, who has a dream in which Lilith, the Fairy Queen of Dreams casts a sleep spell over the kingdom. When you awaken, you find that your husband has been kidnapped by Lilith and your child is overcome by the sleep spell. You must find your way to Lilith's domain and free your husband to defeat Lilith and lift the spell. To do this, you must solve puzzles that Lilith has left in your way to prevent you from following her. In addition, you can increase your score by collecting Dream Jewels, which are subtly strewn through each scene.

The whole game covers a wide range of game types, including adventure/RPG, jigsaw, seek-and-find, and a final hurdle that looks alarmingly like the graduate aptitude tests I've been doing recently. You are given hints as to how to proceed, and some brief instruction, but you need to work out what is actually required yourself. (I'm not telling—that would ruin it!) There are walkthroughs available on the web, but they are only useful for finding out what has to be done—the locations of the things you have to find change in each game.

Dream ChroniclesAs in Mr. Robot, the variety of puzzles is both a strength and a weakness. If you're not a musician, you may find the music puzzle a significant challenge—even knowing what I had to do, I found it very difficult. Puzzles like this can be a real show-stopper. Conversely, those of you who are veteran point-and-click masters may find Dream Chronicles rather easy. I enjoyed most of the puzzles, coped with the ones I didn't enjoy, and only had to refer to a walkthrough once. (I also kept a pen and paper in front of me, and have two envelopes covered in detailed notes!) You can also replay the game to beat your high score, as you are guaranteed to miss a few jewels.

Visually, however, Dream Chronicles is an absolute joy. The artwork is astonishing, even surpassing lovely games like Hidden Expedition: Titanic. Every scene had me marveling at how beautiful the illustration was. Be sure to check out the credits to see some of the conceptual artwork, which is more cartoony than that used in the game, but still visually stunning.

The story is also interesting—it's probably an indicator of how many women are getting into casual gaming that you are playing a woman who has to save her husband from being ravished by the evil Queen! The dialogue and descriptive text reveal a sense of humour and a real interest in storytelling, which is sadly lacking in many puzzle games. Although many will find the ending unsatisfying, it makes it clear that there must be a sequel, and I for one am really looking forward to it.

Just released!

Thanks,
Jen

I guess there is no manual to read, so can anyone help me get past the level with the 8 magic cards? I have all the cards and crystals, but I can't get out. Any hints will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Thanks for your help.

Hi Jay

Just wondered if anyone else thought that Dream Chronicles was not very good value for money. I agree with lots of comments about the design, the puzzles etc but in the end I paid US$20 and in less than 5 hours of game play I was finished. I enjoyed it immensely but then it was all over far too quickly.

As a contrast, I bought Insaniquarium for the same price over a year ago and I still play it every day.
Now that is value for money

Any thoughts/comments?

Cheers
Graham

hay there. my name is chris.

just wondered if any one has the right order for the
order of the puppets that will fix the crank

let me know.
ps i love his game.

I'm stuck on chapter 9 and yes i know you should follow the piano keys but it is hard for me to listen to them
so can someone just write down the key letters and what picture the belong to?

I read the spoiler with the weights, but I can't find (books 93) I've tried all the books, but none of them work

i ve been playing for 4 days and done with it but i think it could use more levels. i did use spoilers for the fruits and to fill in the panels on the last level but only for four objects. i hated the end i thought it was just a break and it would go on ... any other sugesions on similar games? btw notpron players should find this resly easy ...

PLEASEEE!!! I need help! I'm stuck in ch. 14, and I can't find the weight 5... I've placed in the right place 4 objects at the Wish's Gate, but I can't find the last weight... =(
please, if someone has any answer or help, write me :)

Thanks anyway!

Bye!

i need help on 19 the last lv. im stuck on the weird games

I can't get out the trap door

This game was awesome!!!! It took me a minute. Chapter 17 was very very hard but fun at the same time!! I need more Dream Chronicles!! ASAP!!

Chapter 16 help please. I can't find the roman numeral eleven & one of the signs for the heavens

Think the last juvels to pick is in the last pussel wher to put the moon, III, cat, VII, wooden hobby horse, pi, book and christal. But who to connect them?

Hi all,

Vani- you should pick all object you could and test it
one by one. I'm sure it will work.

shelley -

image
you should use screwdriver to unlock the trap
door.
In first time i get error on it.
so you should play slowly, and it will work,
i think.

I'm stuck in the dark house, lamp and stair. because i can't see anything except windows, my monitor is so dark. can't solve it.

Is there any level after this?

Has anyone gotten ALL the Dream Piece Jewels? I've been thru the game several times (trying to get thru in under 30 minutes!) and get 100% on all Dream Pieces except the last one I only get 95%. I know they must in the last two or three chapters but I must keep missing them. Any one got any clues?

Jacquelyn

I am also lost when it comes to Chapter 5 !!! I have also tried to put the second wheel on (front) and it won't work . The hat or something on the soldier is glowing ,but I can't figure it out. PLEASE HELP !!!! What am I doing wrong ?

for level 17 stairs

image
ok i just bought dream chronicles this morning and i just beat it and i had a time on level 17 on the stairs i wrote up a spoiler as i was doing it i hope this help u ok there are 4 post that blink to make stairs go up u need to take 4 steps in the process here code for all steps to come up.click the right post connected to the stairs 1st than the farthest left one 2nd the left post connected to the stairs is 3rd the farthest right one is 4th and 5th farthest left one is 6th and the left one connected to the stairs is 7, the right one connected to the stairs is 8th and the farthest right one is 9 and 10 the finale one now all steps should be up and u should be able to go upstairs.i my self made a chart to make it easier to do something like this /farthest left one is 2 and 6 /left one connected to stairs is 3 and 7 \right one connected to stairs is 1 and 8 \ farthest right one is 4,5,9,10 hope this helps all who want to see

Have gone through this game a severals of times but still missing 3 jewels. Has it to do with the last 3 jewels that u find in the last chapeter but cant pick up, or can you? And if so, who?

Is there someone who can tell me how many dream jewelry I shall take in each chapter? Can find every one except 3. Or is the last 3 they who shows up in the last chapter there u have to put in the moon , the cat the pi and so on?

I've been through all the lvls but is stuck with the dark lilith's mansion. You have to use the key ON the bucket of water, you can't pick it up. the whole thing is relatively easy but the closer you get to Fidget, the harder... You just have to try around and LISTEN to fidget. DO NOT SKIP THE DIARY!

Im having troble on chapter 17 i can't find the all the pitchers to get into chapter 18

Here's a great tip for everyone in case you haven't noticed it:

In each level if you pay close enough attention you'll notice there will be little "sparkles" or some type of light that briefly shows. This happens several times and it's to show you the key points in the level. So if you're having a hard time figuring out what to do, just watch for those and click around where you saw it. It'll help you find things such as Jewels, Where to Go, and Items to Collect. :]

i cannot get past chapter 15, i tried the spoiler above, but still can't manage. hellllllllllllp I've been here for days.

in Chapter 6, where do i find the key?

i couldn't get the piano thingy.
tell me in detail what to click and what to do then...

Hi my name is Geovann. I am having troulble turning on the lights. Can anyone help me??? PLEASE?!


For the piano...

image
First: Find all of the pictures in the scene.
Second: Find the crowbar and crank.
Third: Click on the crank and put it on the piano.
Fourth: Use the crow bar on the pank of would at the bottom of the two stairs to find a key.
Fifth: Use the key on the piano.
Sixth: Put all the the pictures where they belong on the wall to the left of the door.
Seventh: Click on a picture, let the piano play, click on the keyboard, and repeat the keys that it just played.
Do that for all of the pictures, and you should be able to get out.

Please let me know if I have messed any of that up. :]

About the tree house: I got all the tools, including the hobby horse. Installed wheels, washers, nuts; oiled the wagon, pulled it to the side. But the screw driver will not open the trap door **no matter where exactly I place the screw driver* -- really! The door does not open. I've tried different orders of installation of the wheels; I've placed the screw driver near the door, on the trap door, on the screws.
NOTHING DOING.
IS ANYONE ELSE HAVING THIS PROBLEM IN THE TREE HOUSE?
Oggie

Oggie,
the screw driver on the trap door is only to remove the lock thing, Use the hobby horse on the trap door to open it :D

I am stuck at the wish gate level. i cant find the 5 pound weight. Can anyone help me? THANK YOU

Kat

can someone plz help me with chapter 8, i found 7 cards easily than searched carefully for the 8th card for an hour or so and still no luck its driving me insane thank you, becky

I am stuck on chapter 15. I did all the right pieces and the trees r put together right but it wont let me progress i know they are right because i found 4 walkthrus and checked my work lol please tell me how to get past this its making me crazy!!!!!

DC 2 must not be a long game since they only allow 30 minutes in the demo vs. 60 minutes in all other games.

I too am stuck on Chapter 15.I have done it over and over as shown in the walkthroughs. The light on the tree on the left works perfectly but I cannot get the tree on the right to work even though I put everything as shown. I have rebooted and tried over and over...any ideas would be appreciated. I cna't go on to finish!!!
Nancy

chapter 15, i got the light on, but what to do with the puzzles on the trees. it say i need to go to the house but how to fix the puzzles and then what? hheelllppp

iWin has DC for free. There are advertisements that periodically pop up but they last less then a minute. It's definitely worth it. I'm about half way through and enjoying the game very much.

I also was stuck in CHAPTER 15 forever. I finally went totally out, and lost my progress. I then started the level all over again, assembling the lamp and sign-post. I then assembled the configurations on both trees, and this time it worked. The arrow on the top sign lights up and moves you to the mansion.

This it to everybody who complains the game is too short. Play again, the solutions are the same, but some levels rearrange the location of the pieces. Also, the music puzzle on level 9 has some different tunes, with more notes.

Im stuck in the green house. I have one red plant left but no where to put it. HELP!!

I really need help with Dream Chronicles I can not get out of chapert 8. I found all the cards and tried to put them on the wall opposite to the opposite sign on the card. What do I do now

Katydid

i am stuck on ch14!!!! have gathered all the items, placed the correct ones on the posts but the gate will not open!!!!what am I missing here? I hate that the game gives no instructions and no hints!!!Please tell me what else I am supposed to do to open the gate?

for help for the person who could not get the wheel on, click all over the wagon. everywhere! click on the axle especially
click on the side and in the wagon. be sure your wheel is on hand. that is all the advice i can give on that.

for help for the person who could not get the bridge fixed, the last piece of wood to saw is at the end of the pathway. it is yellow and looks like a stick. look in the magic book and see which item is missing from the picture in the book. that might help

for help for the person who could not get the key washed, the scissors can be used to cut the rope ladder on the right side of the screen. then stick the rope on the well and stick the bucket on the rope. then bring it down then up the put the key in it. there! now you can go in!

for help for the person who could not get the chapter 5, the lot of the items is in between the bar of the table and the top of the table. some of it is under the table. if you still cant find it then wait for the sparkles. there is also a very hard one at the far left of the screen that i wouldnt have found without sparkles.

for help for the person who could not find the key, take the shovel from the doghouse and move mouse around on the ground to look for "loose dirt".when you find some, dig it. click on every hole when you are finished just in case a key is there. (this is a spoiler beware my tags wont work)the right hole is near the door.

for help for the person who could not get the trap door open. i encountered that too. first click on the screws WITHOUT THE SCREWDRIVER and she will say something THEN unscrew it take the horse from the corner and do the same procedure

for help for the person who could not get the last card, becky, follow the sparkles! they never fail! that is how I found them all.
