Dream Chronicles



Enter the magical realm of dreams to help Faye find her missing husband and solve the mystery that has taken hold over the town of Wish in this gorgeous mind-bending puzzle game. Use logic and skill to navigate through the town and undo the sleeping spell that covers the village.

Dream Chronicles is a unique puzzle game with astoundingly beautiful graphics. The rich storyline draws the player deep into the game. Each level is a new puzzle of increasing difficulty. For example, in level 2, you begin in a child's bedroom. First, you have to figure out how to turn on the light and then find the key to unlock a chest. Subtle (and some not-so-subtle) clues lead you from one puzzle to the next throughout the game.

Aside from the puzzles, the second objective of the game is to collect and complete all of the dream jewels. Each level has a number of tiny gems hidden within the images to find. Although most are readily apparently, there were a few sneaky ones that were very well hidden!

Some tips and tricks -

  • Be patient. In order to complete the puzzles, it is very important to take the time to read all of the text pop ups that appear.
  • Play the game several times! Your score is partly based on the speed in which you complete the game so the more familiar you are with the puzzles, the faster you can finish them.
  • Look very carefully! Some of the levels have hidden objects that must be found, including the dream gems and some are definitely hard to spot!
  • If you exit a level before finishing it, the solution will be different (for most levels) when you restart!
There is a separate Dream Chronicles Website where you can view screen shots, download wallpapers and icons and learn more about the game.

I give this game a 7 out of 10. (I would have given it a 9, but the game is much shorter than I would have liked!)
