It's an old school adventure game. It's not as good as the The Longest Journey (which is the first game of the series, Dreamfall is the second), but TLJ is just stupidly good. Dreamfall is good, but it's very much part 2 of 3, so some stuff won't mean as much if you haven't played TLJ. it doesn't feel as self-contained as TLJ, as it doesn't so much end as stop, and kind of leaves you hanging for part 3.
