Dream Chronicles
Imagine waking to find your husband missing and your daughter and the entire town under a sleeping spell. Your surroundings seem strangely surreal and otherworldly and there are puzzles and clues scattered throughout town like breadcrumbs. Find all the clues and you'll discover what happened to your family and friends, and you'll learn about your husband's mysterious past. But, if you are unsuccessful, this strange new world may remain as it is. Then again, what if it is all just a dream?
This was a really beautiful game, the graphics were excellent, and the storyline was cute and intricute. I enjoy reading and solving mind puzzles, so this game was excellent for me and my head. I enjoyed seeing all the beautiful puzzles, and how the game would give you a hint if you were stuck. I enjoyed it very much.

Absolutley Amazing!
This is an astounding game! The challenges really make you think, the graphics are to die for, and I would recommed it to everyone!
The only problem is that once you have finished it, you're dying for the sequel!

Cinders' review
I absolutely LOVED this game. It really makes you use your head to figure out how to get through the level into the next one. Unfortunately I ran out of time so was unable to finish game but I am really looking forward to seeing more games like this one.

Once all the lights have turned on take the key that appears on the screen, tap on the screen to go back to the room and then use that key to unlock the balcony door.

Chapter 9. This has been the most difficult room for me. It's like Simon Says. You first find the pictures. Then the crank, crowbar and key. After you find all 7 pictures...
Click on a picture, go to the piano and turn the crank to allow it to show you which keys you neeed to play back as in Simon Says. I have all note keys recorded except for one. I got it first try and didn't remember what I played.
Starting from Left going down diagonal to large bottom picture. Then top small one to right small square picture. (hope this made sense)
start out at one then go right to 3 then left to 1 then right to 4 (2nd )right4right3left1right3right2left1(3rd)right2,right2,right3

...you must start with the light on your left hand then go to the right then back to your left and from there onto your right , that is how you get the lights turned on for this level.
If you get stuck looking for an object, just wait a few seconds and you will see a light glimmer letting you know where an object is. There are no hints per say in this game so this will be the only way to find objects you can't see.
