Plot/Game Description:
Anarchy Online takes place on the persistent online world of Rubi-Ka. The planet features a sci-fi setting with a fantasy flavor, featuring monsters and magic with scientifically credible explanations for their existence. While there are a few basic ground rules and contextual idiosyncrasies, Anarchy Online is designed to offer players as many choices as possible and allow them to build the society of the game world through their own decisions and interaction.

Characters can be viewed from a first or third-person perspective. In addition to standard literal conversations between avatars, characters can also emote through several displays of body language, ranging from a wave or a polite bow to purposeful flatulence or a mildly obscene hand gesture. Certain park areas in some of Rubi-Ka's cities are designated as exclusively for social interaction and weapons and fighting are prohibited in these places.

The game is designed to offer players a wide range of choices in character creation. Characters can be "regular" human beings or one of three genetically altered human "breeds," each with a specially designed physiology that makes them stronger, quicker, or better suited to control the nano machines that perform the technological "magic" in the game world. Once the character has been created and customized, it is time to decide on an alliance.

Plot/Game Description
The game takes place in the parallel universes of Arcadia: a world of magic, and Stark: a world of science and technology. The protagonist, April Ryan, is an 18-year-old art student living in Stark. She learns that the line between the two worlds is growing thin, causing chaos on both sides. April also learns that she is a Shifter, one who is capable of walking between these worlds, and she is then tasked with restoring the Balance between the dimensions before it is too late.

Plot/Game Description
In The Longest Journey, it was established that the Earth consists of two parallel worlds: technology-driven Stark, where the players are implied to reside, and magic-driven Arcadia. The transition between the worlds is only possible in dreams and through an extremely rare ability called "Shifting". For over twelve thousand years, the Balance between the Twin Worlds has been preserved by the almighty Guardians and the Sentinel Order. In 2209, April Ryan, a seemingly normal resident of Stark but also unwittingly a Shifter, learned from the Sentinels that the villainous Vanguard organization abducted the twelfth Guardian before the thirteenth could take over his duties for the next thousand years. This placed the Balance and the Twin Worlds' existence in peril; wherefore April went on a quest to find both Guardians and restore the Balance. En route, she was told that she herself is the thirteenth Guardian and a daughter of the ancient White Dragon. After a long and dangerous journey, she freed the old Guardian and brought him to his Realm, where they discovered that the next Guardian is not herself but Vanguard's second-in-command, Gordon Halloway, who had been pursuing her throughout the game. After Gordon assumed his rightful duties, April left for Arcadia.

In Dreamfall, many characters refer to the "Collapse", a catastrophic event that took place in Stark immediately after the events of TLJ. The Collapse is never described in-game, but according to supplemental material and the official website of the game, it saw many advanced technologies, such as faster-than-light interstellar travel, anti-gravity, and neural interfaces, stop working. The Collapse lasted for several days and was accompanied by traumatic supernatural occurrences, so that Zoë's father kept her indoors to protect her sanity. In the immediate aftermath, authorities of Stark establish a global police agency called EYE to deal with the rising crime rate and introduce the Wire, an information network connecting all electronic devices on the planet. The Collapse coincided with the rise of the theocratic and industrial Empire of Azadi (Persian: "freedom"‎) in Arcadia, who conquered the Arcadian Northlands, exiled the Sentinels from the region, and propagated their religion. This spawned a resistance movement, of which April is part in Dreamfall.
