Order of missions - is it imposed?

You must complete the chapters in the order specified by the developers , i.e. the prologue (Prelude), and Chapters 1-5. As the chapter starts, a message appears on the screen telling you that it begins.

Nevertheless, you have some freedom when completing further steps inside a chapter - there is no strictly defined sequence of actions. You may have a few different mission objectives active and you can complete them in any order. However, you need to clear all objectives from Guybrush's journal in order to push the plot forward.
