Dreamland Extended Edition Walkthrough


Dreamland Extended Edition - Video Walkthrough, Hints, Tips, Puzzle Solutions

Introduction





Have you ever visited an empty, forgotten amusement park?  If you have, you know how spooky and terrifying it can be.  If you haven't, why don't you experience it by playing "Dreamland"?

In 'Dreamland', you will roam around an abandoned Stephen King-esque amusement park where you encounter a dwarf and a vampire.  Of course you get to visit typical attractions such as merry-go-round, roller-coaster, shooting gallery, house of horrors, puppet theatre, circus tent... you even get to build a robot on the moon!

You play as a sister who is trying to save her little brother from the curse of the evil dwarf who runs an amusement park called 'Dreamland'.  He challenges you with various riddles, observing every step you make.  When you make a significant discovery, he often pops up in front of you to express his annoyance or simply to scare you. Overall, he is very enigmatic and his existence is very disturbing, just like the dwarf from Twin Peaks.

'Dreamland' is a Hidden Object game, but time to time, you can also have a little fun by playing Match-3.  Your journey centers around the Central Square, where you have to play the Wheel of Fortune (Match 3) to obtain tickets to rides and attractions.  So if you're a fan of Match-3, it's a nice treat.  Also the difficulty level of Match-3 becomes more challenging as you progress, so it never becomes mundane.

So this game is full of fun, but the greatest part is the Shooting Gallery.  Even after you finish the business there, you will have an unlimited access throughout the game!  You'll get a trophy if you score 1500 points, but it's not an easy task unless you practice a lot.  Whether you are aiming for the trophy or not, it's fun to refine your shooting skill, especially when you want to have a break from serious tasks.

Other extra hidden objects are Starfish and Marbles.  There are 20 Starfish and 17 Marbles hidden in various locations, and you'll get trophies by finding them all.  I've shown all the locations in this walkthrough. You don't need to find them to complete the game, but if you're perfectionist like me, obviously you wouldn't want to miss them!

The park is massive and there are so many areas to revisit, but thankfully navigating the game is very easy.  Using the map, you can jump to various areas you've already unlocked, so there is no tedious backtracking.  Also you can toggle up the task list and click on one of the tasks to jump to the relevant area, and I found it very handy when you want to complete particular tasks.

In the Extended Edition, you get to visit the secret attic above the Shooting Gallery and the cemetery which are not accessible in the normal edition.  They are shown in Part 8 & 9 of my walkthrough.

I hope you'll enjoy my walkthrough!
