It is possible to eavesdrop on certain conversations at a distance, although this is used rarely in the overall plot. The player can either interact directly with characters or listen in via a remote system. The interface system is simplistic with no HUD aside from buttons which trigger various interactions (below) when available. This advances the story, which is told through cutscenes rendered by the game engine and dialogue with non-player characters. Throughout the game, the player alternately controls four player characters (in chronological order: Brian Westhouse (only for the intro), Zoë, April, and Kian) from a third-person perspective to explore various locations, gather and combine items, and solve puzzles. The game features returning characters from its predecessor, such as Brian Westhouse and Gordon Halloway, but playing The Longest Journey is not a prerequisite to understanding its plot. Meanwhile in Arcadia, April battles the villainous Empire of Azadi while Kian, an elite Azadi soldier, is sent to assassinate her.
The main storyline follows Zoë, a Stark resident whose investigation of her ex-boyfriend's disappearance and other mysterious occurrences lead her to April. April was the protagonist of the first game, while the other two are new characters. The story focuses on three characters, Zoë Castillo, April Ryan, and Kian Alvane, who live in two parallel worlds: technologically advanced Stark and magical Arcadia. The game is the sequel to Funcom's The Longest Journey, released in 1999, and takes place ten years after the events of the first game.
On 1 March 2007, a sequel entitled Dreamfall Chapters was announced, and Funcom reportedly considered the idea of a massively multiplayer online game set in The Longest Journey universe.
