Dreamfall Chapters focuses on storytelling and pathing based on player choices. The player makes decisions that affect the fates of other characters. These choices affect the gameplay in later chapters. One of these choices affects Zoë's storyline already in the first chapter as she takes on different jobs and thus meets different characters. Unlike many other adventure games, it does not rely heavily on combining items in the inventory to solve puzzles, even though there is a small inventory system where items can be examined or used in the environment. Instead Zoë mostly needs to do errands such as bringing information or items to other characters. The game is however very dialogue-focused, and much of the information about the world is told through conversations. Characters can move around freely in the game world using direct control. The camera offers free rotation and zooming. Point-and-click is used to examine items or interact with the environment. The cursors often snaps slightly to certain elements while moving it around to help the player determine where interaction is possible. When multiple actions are available a wheel is shown where icons represent the different options. During conversations different options are shown as words. By hovering the cursor over them, Zoë provides a preview of what it represents.
