Apparently, the 'journey' in Dreamfall: The Longest Journey really is long, because they couldn't fit it all into the game. The ending is a cliffhanger, a la Empire Strikes Back (actually, for a couple reasons, very a la). The difference is that I had more interaction with The Empire Strikes Back. Seriously, you just say "go" and the game shows the next cutscene. It's like old FMV games without the FMV.
Pretty good movie, though.
