Europolis

Hi guys, 

So I promised in this post to write about Europolis. For those of you who missed it, I asked Ragnar on twitter if there was any chance we might see Europolis in Dreamfall Chapters and he responded with: "Yep!", which totally made my day. 

So what is Europolis? Europolis is the capital of the unified countries of Europe. The name was taken from Europa (Greek) meaning: broad-faced and Polis (Greek) meaning: City. April's beloved  friend and famous holosculptor Emma de Vrijer lives there. Ragnar described the place as: "[a] poverty-stricken and thoroughly corrupted wasteland (that makes) Venice look like a paradise." Europolis was intended to be a location in Dreamfall, but was later cut alongside other things, for example: Ben and Abanxus.

The place is mentioned a few times in Dreamfall for example Wonkers' newsfeed features a story of the celebrity Gagan Garlanka visiting the "swanky" Eurpolis nightclub Bitte with the Chinese model Vivian Zhu. Reza also mentions Europolis in the message Wonkers plays for him reminding Zoë of when they spend a drunken night in Europolis after which he had to drag her (Zoë) to a sleazy hotel on Jarl Street where she bought him the entique lighter that she later finds in the Victory Hotel.

Fatima, one of the women in the Casablanca Souk, mentions that her Daughter Hana moved back to Casablanca from Europolis last Spring. She says: "It's not a good place to live. So much violence and pollution." The last time Europolis is mentioned is when Olivia uses a Bingo!-Europolis carrier signal to conceal her final message to Zoë when Zoë is in Wati-city.

I think that Europolis would make a great a very interesting new location in Dreamfall Chapters and I love how the name (Europolis) and even hearing that Europe (still) exists makes Stark feels more like our own world that we work and live in. Also: Ragnar did mention that a device similar to the Dreamer was being developed so... what if "Everything is True"? So what role will Europolis play in the story? We'll have to wait to find out. My guess: our new female herione will live there; I have been wrong before though...

Anyway I am really looking forward to going to Europolis in the near future and I will keep you guys updated as new information appears.
