.THE DREAM CHAMBER

and the dynamic mood system

The Dream Chamber is a mental state of Charlie, a sort of non existent place in which he can exploits his kind of Eidetic Memory and explore during the sleep the locations he already visited. In this way he can !nd new clues and see everything from a different point of view, pushing on the investigation and guessing details that could have been slipped in the !rst place.

Charlie has a peculiar personality and his mood can change rapidly during the game. A minigame, based on the choice of the right sequence of sentences, is used sometimes to convince the opponent in helping Charlie out. Every battle modi!es the mood of Charlie and his feelings, having impact on the evolution of the story, the dialogues and the ending.
