First of all, you’ll take control of Kian who has been told that his execution has been stepped up and will now happen at dawn. Whether it’s manipulating light, time, or reading a dreamer’s mind, these initial puzzles are different but before long Zoë must return to the real world.

The first few interactions with troubled dreamers are interesting because they aren’t framed in the usual adventure game way of combining items with environmental objects. She must somehow return to the real world and stop the problem there. In the real world, there is now a device being sold called a Dream Machine that lets people share dreams with each other but causes those people to be stuck in Storytime and experience continual nightmares.

Meanwhile, Kian remains in the magical realm of Arcadia, imprisoned in a foreboding keep and awaiting his execution. It turns out Zoë is still in her coma with little chance of recovery, stranded in a world between reality and dream called Storytime.
