first rate and outstanding and amazing storytelling and dialog . what i dislike . 1. there be some plot inconsistency a for me and mostly about language they speak between race . ( well it forgivable in the world of magic . and what a wonderful world . ) 2. april be sometimes stupid and i do not really like her as much a zoe from sequel . 3. resolution be obsolete ( 640x480 . ) even for 2000 . 4. people you talk to be usually too forgetful . one example . just half a minute ago the receptionist say i should disappear cause i be not allow in here and now he really believe april a pizza girl and let me in . strange . then what i like . well i like everything else . this be really a different story . no stupid narnias . i have find some reference to world war ii here . dialog be superb . voice be perfect . design be all well do . sound be involve . gameplay be non active and but thanks to the story very interesting . i could run journey all day long . we have the great ability of skip time here . if you do not want to waste your precious time or fall asleep upon watch your april get from one side of screen to another you just press escape several time and she get where she go in a few ( real time ) second . this be one of my favorite fantasy world and story represent ragnar tornquist world be inferior only to j. r. r. tolkien . and surely one of my favorite adventure game behind grim fandango ( of course ) and ( i really love tlj sequel ) dreamfall represent the long journey .
