Overview
Description

In Always Sometimes Monsters you live 30 days of a desperate cross‑country journey, racing from the East Coast to the West Coast before your true love walks down the aisle with someone else. Every decision you make reshapes relationships, opportunities, and the very world around you, forcing you to confront what you’re willing to sacrifice for a second chance at happiness. The game blends role‑playing, simulation and adventure in a gritty indie drama, delivering a single‑player experience that challenges your ethical compass with no clear right or wrong paths. Your pockets are empty, your life is in shambles, and the clock is ticking—how far will you go to become the monster you fear?

Dreamfall Chapters is a mature, emotional, and dark adventure game set in parallel worlds that explore the balance between magic and science, chaos and order. Players follow broken heroes across a cyberpunk future and a magical fantasy realm as they attempt to save the very nature of dreams from the Undreaming. Developed by Red Thread Games, this title serves as a continuation of The Longest Journey saga, offering both a brand new storyline for newcomers and a long-awaited conclusion for returning fans of the franchise. Experience a choice-driven narrative where every action shapes the course of history across worlds.
