Dreamfall The Longest Journey
Dreamfall the longest journey
Story>
In The Longest Journey, players learned that the Earth exists as two halves… both never seeing one another but existing together as parallel worlds. The world of Stark is where science and technology are the primary driving forces behind it and those that live there. As a result, the people of Stark live upon a futuristic version of our Earth. The other world, Arcadia, is one where magic continues to hold sway over a land filled with the trappings of faerie-tale inspired fantasy. April Ryan, the unwilling protagonist of The Longest Journey, was an art student living in Stark before she was swept up in the events that would make her the reluctant savior of both.
To her friends in Stark, April’s apparent disappearance at the time she had gone over to Arcadia has continued to be a mystery that has troubled them. At around the same time, the world has found itself the victim of a calamity called the Collapse, when technology suddenly failed and all contact with Earth’s colonies were severed. In the ten years since then, humanity managed to pick itself up from these events but the world had significantly changed. A wireless network called the Wire was created, linking anything with an electric heartbeat into one, unified whole, communicating across the world. It is illegal to destroy Wire receivers and transmitters, but the Wire is not without its critics and a black market thrives in items that can ‘break’ the link that devices have with it.
Enforcing the protection of the Wire and of the laws that govern the world is an omniscient organization known only as the Syndicate, formed from the chaos of the Collapse. Through the EYE, its multinational enforcement arm, the Syndicate ensures that corporations continue to work within the law. More often than not, they are a police force that operates across all nations and ruthlessly enforces the law with little compassion, partly as an attempt to ensure the prevention of another Collapse.
It is now 2219. Living in this “new” world is Zoë Castillo, a student who has left college to try and find herself. However, it hasn’t been easy for her as she finds that she is wasting a lot of time doing… absolutely nothing. Although the so called Static seems to be growing worse across the Wire, disrupting communications and causing the occasional blackout of information, there is little else in her life that has brought her out from her personal malaise. That is, until things start to happen around her that she cannot easily explain.
When a close friend disappears and when she begins the search for the answers that he held, she will become involved in more than a simple investigation. As Zoë encounters new friends and foes in her struggle to understand the worlds that she will journey to, the story will also be seen from their perspectives as they try to uncover the truth behind the dark force threatening to destroy all that they know.
Characters
In brackets are the taglines found on promotional posters for each of the three main characters.
* Zoë Castillo (Seeker, Nomad, Dreamer) is one of the main characters in the game. She lives with her father in the city of Casablanca (her mother has supposedly died before the Collapse), and has recently dropped out of university. The beginning of the game finds her in a state of malaise, lacking motivation and questioning her purpose in life. The story opens with her ex-boyfriend, Reza, asking her for help.
* April Ryan (Rebel, Emissary, Chosen) is a Shifter, originally from Stark, who was pivotal in restoring the Balance ten years ago. After that success, though, she was left without a purpose, and chose to join the effort to liberate the Northlands from the occupation by the Azadi (Persian: freedom) Empire. She has turned her back on her former world of Stark and considers herself a citizen of Arcadia now.
* Kian Alvane (Soldier, Apostle, Assassin) is an Azadi soldier and skilled swordsman who resides in the holy city of Sadir. He has pledged his life to the Six and the Goddess. He is an Apostle, a special agent of the Six, much to the scorn of others in the hierarchy who look down on his common ancestry.
* Olivia DeMarco is Zoë’s best friend. She owns a small electronics and repair shop in Casablanca, and is an expert on the technology of the time period.
* Reza Temiz is a journalist who goes under the alias “Jericho”. He was once Zoë’s boyfriend, but now the two are just good friends.
* Damien Cavanaugh works for WATIcorp, a Japanese corporation. When he first appears in the game, he is involved in the development of WATIcorp’s top-secret “Project Alchera”.
* Benrime Salmin is the owner and proprietor of “The Journeyman Inn”, an inn located in the Arcadian city of Marcuria. She made her first appearance in The Longest Journey, where she became a friend and confidante to April Ryan. In Dreamfall, she is a rebel sympathizer and often aids April and the rest of resistance movement against the Azadi occupying force.
* Brian Westhouse is a traveler and scholar who resides in Arcadia. First appearing in The Longest Journey as a stubborn and frequently inebriated man who helped April Ryan along on her adventure, he revealed that he had also breached the divide from his native Stark to Arcadia in a crossing that took nearly three hundred years. He returns in Dreamfall as a more sober and eloquent man who accompanies Zoë Castillo to one of the few places in Arcadia he has never visited, and scenes in the game suggest that his transition between worlds may be of significant importance to the central plot.
* Roper F. Klacks is a magic shop keeper. He first appeared in The Longest Journey as an evil alchemist who lived inside an enchanted flying tower. He reappears in Dreamfall claiming to have been reformed of his evil tendencies, and crediting this to the actions of April Ryan in the first game.
* Crow is an Arcadian talking bird who is not actually a crow but resembles one visually. He has been April’s sidekick in The Longest Journey and resumes this role in Dreamfall though later, he decides to follow Zoë instead.
