This is a great game with a nice story! There are 3 game modes.
The graphics are gorgeous! The HOS are clear.
The mini-games are really astonishing, not the ones you usually get, and there are many of them!
You have a journal with a task list. You have also an interactive map, so you can jump to a location. Active ones are highlighted.
The dialogs are good, the atmosphere is great!
There is really nothing negative I can find!
Ok, it's not the longest game, for me about 3 hours, but there is so much to do and it never gets boring!

The story is cute. You will learn more by finding artifacts. There are 2 game modes.
- The graphics are not of the kind I prefer, but clear.
- The HOS sparkles even in the Expert mode. The objects are easy to find.
- Some of the mini-games are really interesting, not too challenging.
- You have a journal containing the clues you found and a list of your objectives.
- You have a map showing active locations but you can't jump, which is annoying since there is a lot of back and forth.
The length of the game is good; for me, a bit less than 3 hours.

The story is cute. There are 3 game modes.
The graphics are beautiful and clear.
The HOS are not too cluttered.
The mini-games are interesting; some are challenging.
There is a map, which you can use to jump to a location.
The hint system is good, telling you what to do next.
The game is rather short, for me a bit more than 2 hours.

The storyline is beautiful. There are 3 game modes.
The graphics are crisp. The HOS are clear. The mini-games are on the easy side.
You have a journal with the clues you found.
There is a map showing you active locations, but you can't use it to jump to them, so you have to walk a lot.
The game is not very long; without skipping, it took me a bit more than 2 hours.

The story is good. The graphics too. There are 3 game modes.
You have a journal and no map, but it works good without. The FROS are clear. The mini-games range from easy to challenging.
The game is very short; for me about 1 1/2 hours. But I would recommend it with a coupon or as a DD.

As told in other reviews, the ending is abrupt.... but I can live with it!
There are 3 game modes, but sparkles even in the Expert mode.
- The graphics are great, clear, even in the HOS.
- The mini-games are on the easy side but interesting.
- There is a good journal, but no map, even though there is a lot of to and fro.
The game length is ok, for me about 3 hours.

This game is one of my favourites.
- The story is great.
- There are 3 game modes.
- There is a really good map, allowing you to jump, so no need to walk. It shows active locations.
- The HOS are clear and not too cluttered.
- The mini-games are on the easy side, but interesting.
In Advanced mode, and without skipping, it took me about 2 hours to complete. But I still highly recommend it!

The "Awakening" games are for young and old. They are cute, easy and relaxing.
The journal contains the clues you found. There is no map but a lot of to and fro.
Ok, there is no real challenge, but it gave me 2 hours of enchanting time!

There is a lot to do in this asylum! There are 2 game modes. The HOS sparkle also in the Expert mode.
- The graphics are a bit dark, so some the objects in the HOS are hard to find.
- The mini-games are interesting, not the ones you usually get, but not too challenging.
- You have a journal, with the clues you find. Sadly there is no map, so you will spend most of the time walking... and walking... and there are many locations...
- The hint system is like: "Nothing to do here", so you will have to walk...
- You have a Strategy guide! Thank you for that! Really useful!
- There are 22 morphing objects to find.
The game is not very long, but there is a lot to do, a lot of walking, so it seems longer...
All in all, a good game in a creepy asylum! I don't give 5 stars because of the missing map.

This is not a typical HOG since the objects to find are in the location. There is only one game mode.
You have a list of objectives. There is a map; only if you find a number of crystals in a location will you be able to jump to it with the map.
The crystals allow you also to buy some objects in a shop.
The graphics are clear.
The mini-games are interesting and on the easy side.
If you don't know where to go next, then the hint system is useless... "Try a different location", yeah yeah, I know... Otherwise, it is ok.
The game is quite short; it took me a bit more than 1 1/2 hours to finish. Nevertheless, it's quite entertaining and relaxing.
