Through the introduction of a new nexus feature, players are now able to travel back and forth to various parts of the dream world as part of an ongoing quest which reveals critical clues and challenges.

The Dream Chronicles series traces the story of Faye whose overarching mission is to find her husband and child after they mysteriously disappear. Set in an ethereal dream world, Faye has trouble recalling the circumstances of their disappearance - a mystery which is gradually unraveled though a series of player quests and hidden object puzzles.

"Dream Chronicles: The Chosen Child brings the Dream Chronicles series to a new level," said Miguel Tartaj, lead game designer, KatGames. "With a backdrop of amazingly intricate artwork and advanced technical detail as well as the new multi area puzzles allowing for more player mobility, established fans and new players will be challenged and delighted."

The dream jewels which have played an important part of the series now also have a more critical role as they are required to enable the player to progress from one area to another. Adding to the fairy tale theme of the game, a newly featured crystal ball also acts as an additional aid as players make their way through the dream realm.

Dream Chronicles: The Chosen Child is developed by KatGames and published by PlayFirst. Dream Chronicles, the first game in the series will be available for the first time on iPhone this April.
