A Myst-style adventure featuring stunning Art Nouveau-inspired graphics, gripping music and an absorbing storyline. It offered an exceptional, albeit short, excursion into a fantasy world par excellence. Now, the sequel, Dream Chronicles 2: The Eternal Maze, has arrived, and it's destined to bestow another solid dose of what made the original so enthralling. Commencing where the first installment ended, this follow-up continues the earlier tale. Lilith, Queen of Fairies, is still up to her no-good tricks. And, Faye, the mortal whose character you play, is still searching for her fairy husband Fidget and their daughter Lyra. One puzzle at a time, she must solve the mystery facing her and rescue her family from Lilith. Nevertheless, it won't all happen in this installment.
Your quest is accomplished location-by-location across 50 eye-catching backdrops, the details of your journey recorded in a special diary as you go. This time, however, you're not completing the game's 80 puzzles one at a time in sequence. At least, not always. Often, items required for one puzzle are sprinkled across several locations, and a small amount of backtracking is required. And, as before, some objects require greater scrutiny to locate than others.
Each scene usually incorporates multiple brainteasers. For example, near the start of the game you're presented with a scene of a large tree. Several pieces of outer bark are removed to reveal the carved shapes of five animals. Your task is to locate the critters that correspond with those shapes within the scene (a straightforward matter). When you do, they're placed into your inventory as cutouts of those five carvings. Pop these into their correct spots on the tree and the original five pieces of outer bark reappear. Return them to their correct locations and a door in the wall opens. Simple, right? If you're the least bit interested in puzzle-based adventures, don't fidget in your seat. Dream Chronicles 2: The Eternal Maze is an endearing, intriguing and original quest - a fairy-tale that both enchants and entertains from beginning to end.
