The game is set in a mystical world of realistic fantasy where mortal and fairy realms collide, and picks up where Dream Chronicles 2: The Eternal Maze ended. The Chosen Child tells the story of a mortal woman named Faye waking up from a powerful fairy's dream spell with no recollection of her past or her true identity, except for what she can piece together from her frequent dreams, that she has a husband and a daughter who have both been taken by the Fairy Queen of Dreams. Guided by her Fairy husband, who communicates with her through a crystal ball, Faye sets out to save her child once more.[6]
The Chosen Child was first presented limitedly as a beta version in February 2009. It was officially released worldwide as a digital download two months later on April 16. Similar to its predecessors, The Chosen Child immediately became another Dream Chronicles hit, reaching number-one of eleven casual game charts and peaking inside top ten on many other charts.[1] The game was critically well received by casual game critics, describing it as "another visually stunning Myst-like adventure that transports players into a fantasy world of fairies".[6] In June 2010, The Chosen Child was nominated for two awards, "Top Hidden Object Game" and "Best Story", in the second annual GameHouse Great Game Awards.[7] The Chosen Child was preceded by Dream Chronicles 2: The Eternal Maze (2008) and followed by Dream Chronicles: The Book of Air (2010).
A high-definition version of this game was available via App Store for iPad device in August 2012.[5]
