"Awakening: The Dreamless Castle is a fairy tale game, starring Princess Sophia. Like Sleeping Beauty, she was put into an enchanted, hundred-year sleep. Unlike Sleeping Beauty, Sophia’s prince was a lazy bum who never bothered to rescue her. So she just sleeps for a hundred years, wakes up locked in a castle, and has to figure out how to escape," writes Michael Gray.
About writes: "From the opening scene, it's pretty clear that Awakening: The Dreamless Castle is doing its best to evoke classic fairytales: and it succeeds. Though the tale it tells is fairly cliche, it's done well enough to keep you engaged, and it serves as great window dressing for the actual game. And with a gorgeous, story book style presentation and some solid puzzles, there's more than enough here to keep hidden object fans happy."
Who doesn't love a good 'damsel-in-distress-in-a-castle' story? Awakening: The Dreamless Castle borrows its storyline from a variety of classic fairytales such as Sleeping Beauty, Snow White (dwarves are replaced with goblins), and Rapunzel. So, if you enjoy exploring medieval castles, solving perplexing puzzles, perusing richly drawn scenes and reading a classic fairytale story, this is a game you'll want to check out.
