This video is criminally undervalued! The editing and writing were executed perfectly- the summary was succinct but still managed to capture the tone, humor, ridiculousness, abd brilliance, with perfectly curated and blended clips from this game. There are not enough videos these days with this kind of care and attention to detail. Thanks for making it- this game was such a big deal for me when it first released, and I wanted a recap before playing Dreamfall Chapters.
This game must have been so revolutionary back in its time. The story is phenomenal and thank you for the great recap! I’m considering getting Chapters since it’s part of the sale this week. Looking forward to it!
Thank you for putting this together for us all. I played Dreamfall many years ago, before Chapters was being developed. I had always intended to play The Longest Journey and [potentially Dreamfall again] move onto Chapters. Despite starting Journey it a couple times...I could never really get going with it. After so many years of Chapters and Longest Journey sitting in my library & putting off playing the latter, I decided to look for a summary and finally get going with Chapters. I'm going to watch your Dreamfall review for a 'reminder'...and go ahead and finally get started with Chapters. Anyway, I know you don't have 'huge' amount of views on your video, but I wanted to really THANK you for taking the time to do it for all of us. It's easy to see that it likely took a good amount of time to assemble. :)
It's been a long time since I last played the longest journey, and I just started playing chapters. Your summary was a great help for refreshing my memory.
I was gonna play Dreamfall chapters directly but was recommended to play the old games, as this is a very old game I cannot play so your video helped a lot.
Thanks so much for the video. I can’t imagine how much effort it took to make it. You did a great job showing important story moments with sound bites and music from the game. I have been trying to play it for years but kept getting stuck on the puzzles, so I decided just to look for a summary since I was mostly just in it for the story. This was perfect. Anyways, thanks!
Indeed, it took quite some time to get the story of the game straight and to arrange the clips and music such that it fits to my story telling. I'm glad that you liked it :-)
Thank you for the summary! Recently playing dreamfall: chapters for the second time with a friend and we really wanted to know what all the remarks to the old games were about
Thank you so much for this. Your summary is very clear and well laid out. I played the original but missed out on dreamfall longest journey and now I purchased dreamfall chapters for PS4 on sale so I needed to go back. You deserve more subscribers and views. Well done
Overall, the game was a success (but it took some time because they needed to find publishers all around the world). Considering the sales figures and the female protagonist, at that time, it must have been something of a big deal since it drew a lot of female audiences to play the game.
Vielen Dank. Sehr gut gemachtes Video. Jetzt bin ich bereit für die anderen beiden Teile. Dieses Spiel war mir doch ein bisschen arg fummelig. Hast mir ein Haufen Zeit erspart. Tausend Dank!
Apart from Chapters (which I haven't played yet) Dreamfall and Dreamfall The Longest Journey are one of my favorite games ever. A modern remake in terms of the graphics would be awesome :D
Thank you for this. Am planning to play Dreamfall again and then play Chapters. I have The Longest Journey sitting on Stream but I just can’t get into it so this is so useful.
Well, BioShock and The Longest Journey are very different concepts. Yes, there are underwater creatures in The Longest Journey, but they are not as advanced as in BioShock. So, maybe 2K Games got an inspiration from The Longest Journey, but they made a completely different Game with another amazing story. I might do another Game Summary of the BioShock Series, if enough people are interested.
Watching Sandman and it seems familiar, the talking crow, the parallel worlds and dreams, emo protagonist Oh wait.... The Longest Journey it is Searched about the connection, the creator of TLJ does indeed fan of Sandman and referenced it in an interview
what a complicated f-ing story. were the creaters ummmm tripping on acid or something? anyway thank you for this summary, can't believe only 5k people have seen this 🙏
I actually love this about the game. This crazy entangled and quite uncommon story... I feel like Dreamfall Chapters fell a bit short of that (even compared to Dreamfall: TLJ)
This game have some connect with Matrix movie? What do you think, is it a coincidence that they have a lot of identical text in them and the story is so similar too?
'TLJ' has it's flaws. Some of those are due to the limits of the technology restricting story telling. Some are due to the game being episodic. But there are story telling flaws. Cortez's sudden appearance when April is dodging the escaped mutant (which is itself a very random thing to happen) is one. How did he escape? At first I thought is was intended to be a deliberate attempt to place April in danger and have a false, or brainwashed, Cortez appear to manipulate her. The very obvious foreshadowing of who the new guardian would be is another. It's an impressive game that leaves a lasting impression, but it does stumble at times.

Oh April. You deserved better
This should have way more views. Thanks for making it
Wow, I was there playing a 1999 game, thought no one heard of it, and here is a video story summary made 2 years ago
Thanks dude, I'm about to start dreamfall chapters and don't remember anything. Great videos!
It's been a long time since I last played the longest journey, and I just started playing chapters.
Your summary was a great help for refreshing my memory.
Perfect summary before I begin with Dreamfall: Chapters on PS4 😁 Now move on to Dreamfall: The Longest Journey :)
Also, the dialogue and characters are great in this game, with some pretty damn funny moments.
I was gonna play Dreamfall chapters directly but was recommended to play the old games, as this is a very old game I cannot play so your video helped a lot.
I can play it fine
It's on steam tho, but yeah I'm not gonna play it either

Wow, hands down the best recap of TLJ! Must've been so much work to put everything together, thank you!
Thank you for the summary! Recently playing dreamfall: chapters for the second time with a friend and we really wanted to know what all the remarks to the old games were about
what a great game. I remember being totally immersed in it.
great summary man, I am now playing dreamfall and this was a good reminder for me.
Thank you so much for this. Your summary is very clear and well laid out. I played the original but missed out on dreamfall longest journey and now I purchased dreamfall chapters for PS4 on sale so I needed to go back. You deserve more subscribers and views. Well done
The fact that this was made in 1999 amazes me! Was the game a big deal back then? I mean, this game had cutscenes.
Overall, the game was a success (but it took some time because they needed to find publishers all around the world). Considering the sales figures and the female protagonist, at that time, it must have been something of a big deal since it drew a lot of female audiences to play the game.
I started playing Dreamfall: The Longest Journey and this video is really handy. Thanks for such a nice summary.
Vielen Dank. Sehr gut gemachtes Video. Jetzt bin ich bereit für die anderen beiden Teile. Dieses Spiel war mir doch ein bisschen arg fummelig. Hast mir ein Haufen Zeit erspart. Tausend Dank!
Thank you sooo much , Your story recap makes playing Dreamfall Chapters much more enjoyable.
Thanks, I'm glad I could help to understand the quite intertwined story :-)
Apart from Chapters (which I haven't played yet) Dreamfall and Dreamfall The Longest Journey are one of my favorite games ever. A modern remake in terms of the graphics would be awesome :D
thank you for this. you deserve more views
Thank you for this. Am planning to play Dreamfall again and then play Chapters. I have The Longest Journey sitting on Stream but I just can’t get into it so this is so useful.
Thank you for making this. I was going to try to watch a 10 hour game movie but i just couldn't make it
17:00 with the question marks. i lol'ed
April Ryan: weird dream city. Andrew Ryan:underwater city
Coincidence? I think not.
Well, BioShock and The Longest Journey are very different concepts. Yes, there are underwater creatures in The Longest Journey, but they are not as advanced as in BioShock. So, maybe 2K Games got an inspiration from The Longest Journey, but they made a completely different Game with another amazing story.

@@flognitygaming yes
Watching Sandman and it seems familiar, the talking crow, the parallel worlds and dreams, emo protagonist
Oh wait.... The Longest Journey it is
Searched about the connection, the creator of TLJ does indeed fan of Sandman and referenced it in an interview
April isn't emo in the original game.
Thank you so much for this summary!
Thank you for this video
Thank you so much for this!!!
Super gemacht Flo
Thanks from 2023, where TLJ is unplayable on Win 11 :(
But at least now I know the start of the story.
Just brilliant, thank you much :D
I never finished the first one all the way, but did the second; watching your recaps before playing Chapters. Great job :)
Thanks, this was great!
A very long journey that's for sure
Quite a convoluted story!
I've been watching the full game itself, and I wouldn't say convoluted. It's certainly complex, but I think you can understand it.
Thank you so much for this video
what a complicated f-ing story. were the creaters ummmm tripping on acid or something? anyway thank you for this summary, can't believe only 5k people have seen this 🙏

Amazing videoooo
This game have some connect with Matrix movie? What do you think, is it a coincidence that they have a lot of identical text in them and the story is so similar too?
Honestly, after watching "Arcane", I think the world we see in that show could be the result of the two worlds from this game being merged once again.
Thank you for the recap, it's hard to watch a play through when it's 10 hours and low res
Yeah agree

CORTEZ WAS LATIN AMERICAN? LMAO he's french in the spanish dub 😂
Is it just me or is the audio and video out of sync
it seems to fix itself at 19:22 but before that no bueno
i cant able to play this game kinda stuck with modern game and grapics thats why
