She is a dreamer, able to inhabit a special place between worlds, and the game starts with her in this dream world. Europolis is supposed to be Prague in the future, although there are only a few vague nods towards that.
Zoe lives in a cyberpunk-ish near future Europolis, the center of some giant European state. In the game, you take control over 2 main characters – Zoe and Kian. It was also released in chapters, although I did not play it until all of the chapters had already been released. In typical Telltale fashion, the game is an adventure game where you do certain tasks and are presented with choices. Dreamfall Chapters is said to not require playing The Longest Journey, but I am not so sure about that. While the game’s writing is good, the fact that I hadn’t played the preceding games meant that I did not have a strong emotional connection, or understanding, of the characters. I probably should have played the games that preceded Dreamfall Chapters (The Longest Journey games) because then I might have know what was going on. The game was recommended by a friend of a friend, for its storytelling and writing.
