I've always been a little fan of adventure games and so my first steps into this game many years ago is steps I will never regret.
Story is about this girl, April Ryan, who lacks the drive to continue with her work of becoming an artist. She's as well tormented by this vivid dreams - or for her nightmares - that seems so real. And suddenly she finds herself on a very - very - long journey that will take her not only through her own world, but through worlds. Welcome to the Balance. Welcome to Stark. Welcome to Arcadia.
This really is a long journey, but one you never should go without. It's a story that drives forward all the time. And a story that is really worth getting into. The characterization is just splendid, the dialogues superb and the game play just magnificent.
If you're a serious and addicted adventure game player, this is one you shouldn't miss. And I even recommend getting the Dreamfall - the longest journey, which is the sequel to this game. That game has its flaws, but the story.... Let me just say I'm not the type to cry over an ending but The longest Journey has come too close to comfort.
So, still here, reading? What are you waiting for, the fate of the Balance depends on you.
