Awakening: The Dreamless Castle Reviews

Goblinjong is much better than Tripeaks.

good art, like every scene was almost painted. intriguing story, fun puzzles, and soothing ever present mystery

It's... ok. I'd give it a maybe if that were an option. Pros: The art is beautiful The actual HO scenes are great, the items are hidden well It's the beginning of a great series Cons: The puzzles are very repetitive and super simple Outside of the puzzles and HO scenes, the hint button is useless - it doesn't give a hint, it merely points out interactable zones on your current map... which already sparkle so there's no point to the hint. When you finish a puzzle, it always plays the same sound cue, which dissonantly clashes with the music. No fast travel or map, and moving between zones has a relatively (to other HOGs) long animation. This makes getting around the map annoying. So I'd say play this one only if you're a hardcore HOG fan and want to experience the beginning of Sophia's story

Played this game when I was a kid, still fun to this day! Lots of nostalgia for this, probably gonna do a full replay of the series.

At times this game will black out alternately with flashes of intro, making it difficult to turn off and reload!

Ah, Awakening: The Dreamless Castle, a puzzle game so wondrous that I find mine heart eternally bound to its spell. In the days of my youth, this game didst capture my soul with its intricate puzzles and ethereal art, drawing me into a world beyond compare. Each click and twist of the game was like a dance, and every puzzle piece felt like a key unlocking a realm of beauty and mystery. The puzzles themselves, while demanding, were never insurmountable—nay, they challenged my wit and patience, but always with such grace that I couldst not resist. The very essence of this game, with its hauntingly lovely soundtrack and artful design, calls me even now, as if a distant dream that refuses to fade. Indeed, the allure of *Awakening: The Dreamless Castle* is not easily shaken from mine heart. It is nigh impossible to put down once begun, as if some unseen force drags me back to its enchanted halls with each passing year. The puzzles, each more beguiling than the last, doth ensnare the mind and spirit, urging one to continue solving, exploring, and uncovering the mysteries therein. One might say it is borderline addictive, a game that whispers to the soul with a quiet persistence, until all hours pass unnoticed, and one’s very being is consumed by the desire to unravel the next enigma. To cease would be as though forsaking a friend, for it hath woven itself into the fabric of my very existence. Such a puzzle game hath become a cherished companion, and I couldst not imagine life without it. It is a game that hath seen me through many a long, solitary hour, and I hold it dearer than gold or riches. Were I to find myself stranded upon some forsaken isle, 'twould be the first thing I would wish to have by my side. Truly, this puzzle game hath earned my undying love, and I shall play it for as long as the stars do shine in the heavens above. The Dreamless Castle and I, forever entwined, now and forevermore.
