Dream Chronicles is an adventure, hidden object and puzzle casual game series created by Miguel Tartaj for KatGames, owned and originally published by PlayFirst. It is also the name of the first game in the series.
The Dream Chronicles series was supposed to be divided into two trilogies, Faye's Journey and Lyra's Destiny, with three games each and two core stories. However, only the first intended five games were released eventually. First released as a digital download in June 2007, the original Dream Chronicles quickly became a casual game hit, peaking high on many major casual game charts, and proved to be one of the biggest and most innovative casual games of 2007. The original game went on to win a Zeeby Award's "People’s Choice Award for the Best Hidden Object & Adventure Game of 2007" in July 2008. It also marked the birth of the "Hidden Object & Adventure" genre in casual games, which is very popular and highly demanding then.Faye's Journey trilogy continued successfully with Dream Chronicles 2: The Eternal Maze and Dream Chronicles: The Chosen Child, which were released in February 2008 and April 2009 respectively, enjoying the same success on casual game charts, and earned many thumb-ups from game critics and casual gamers. The second Lyra's Destiny trilogy started with Dream Chronicles: The Book of Air released in June 2010, and ended abruptly with Dream Chronicles: The Book of Water released in April 2011; though they were both criticized for not matching the standards of the Faye's Journey trilogy.
