Graphical enhancements
Dreamfall HD Textures reworked (high res textures)
- Due to limitations in mod tooling, any texture mod currently available prevents mini-games from working, affecting intended gameplay.
- Currently available texture mods may not entirely preserve the original artistic intent of the game, it is therefore recommended to compare screenshots with the base game prior to choosing to proceed with them.
