I join with the other reviewers who have given this game high marks. In addition to the well-documented facts that the puzzles and hidden object scenes are challenging without being frustrating - and the excellent storyline - there is the element of time travel. Rooms that morph into their past appearance and the murder scenes, are a real plus to the entertainment factor. The supernatural atmosphere of the story is fun as well. Best of all, the ending is smooth and doesn't leave you hanging. This is an all-around great game.
I recommend this game!

This game has a Central American theme, which is a fairly rare setting as far as hidden object games go. The scenes are colorful, though the graphics are simplistic. However, the game's real claim to fame is the morphing effect when you transition between the present and the past in the various locations. Hints let you know when it is time to effect a transition in order to move the game forward. The storyline is entertaining and effective, as you attempt to save a famous investigative reporter from being sacrificed to an ancient god in order to restore it to power. The background music is kind of monotonous, but it does enhance the mood of the story. While a few of the puzzles are "hair-pullers", most of them are moderately challenging and can be completed with a little added effort. The hidden object scenes were generally easy with only a few objects requiring hints to find them. I enjoyed this game.
I recommend this game!

This is the third game in the "Awakening" series where Princess Sophia tries to find out where her people have gone. It is just as beautiful and entertaining as the other two games in the series - Moonfell Wood andThe Dreamless Castle. Terrific art work, submersive storyline, and interesting characters (I LOVE the little pocket dragon!). As in the other games, the puzzles range from very simple to fairly challenging (the "thread untangle" puzzles come to mind). All in all, a wonderful gaming experience.
I recommend this game!

This game has a good story line where the player tries to discover what happened to her father, who worked at a secret government installation. The storyline is smart and the puzzles are just right - no frustration. The ending makes sense and prepares the story for a sequel.
I recommend this game!

This was a very pleasant gaming experience. The story was entertaining, and had a "complete" exit (it didn't feel like a rushed job). The puzzles were not too difficult, yet were just challenging enough to be satisfying. I recommend this game. (I am not giving a game synopsis because there is a demo version available for download.)
I recommend this game!
