Happy gaming!

Thanks Marian!

I thought the "Awakening" series was done. What a nice surprise. I've enjoyed all the "Awakening" games. So glad for today's sale.

I agree - I was very pleasantly surprised that there was another Awakening game. It looks good.

Thanks Marian!

Downloaded the trial, and guess what? I have no cursor. Do you know how hard it is to find the Quit button with no cursor?
Had this happen on another game a while back. Actually I think it was another in this series!

How strange. Have you tried all the usual things, like making sure your Adobe Flash is updated as well as your graphics drivers? Have you written to Big Fish Customer Support about this issue?

I haven't contacted them yet. I think all my drivers are current, and I checked the system requirements for this game, and they're pretty normal.
If I recall, when this happened to me before, they came out with a patch after a few days.

I did post something on their tech forum Let's see what happens.


BTW, searching the BigFish forums for "no cursor" generated over 21,000 results! Guess I'm not alone.

Thanks, Marian!

I bought this "prequel" because I also liked the other games in the Awakening series. It was disappointing for several reasons. First, it was very short, even by HOG standards (main game took just over three hours to finish!). I bought the CE version and I am starting the Bonus game this morning, but not expecting to be wowed at this point. Second, there were no significant puzzles to solve. The usual searches for the pieces you need to complete each scene were made WAY too easy and the occasional mini-games offered no challenge. Third, the scale of the game was significantly reduced from previous games in the Series.

Did the game designers of this series decide to "dumb down" their game, to make it appeal to a larger audience? These games already are easy, plus you can choose a level of difficulty when you start the game, from "Hold My Hand" all the way to "Let Me Figure it Out, Please." I played on the harder setting, and can't imagine there being anything at all to the game if you played on the easier ones. Oh, and you can SKIP any puzzle you like.

As I said, I was let down by the game. I won't be buying any further games in this series, if they arise, and possibly no further games from this company.

I'm sorry to hear that it was a disappointment for you, but we appreciate the information.

I bought this yesterday with the sale. I really liked all the Awakenings and I'm enjoying it.

Glad to hear it, Gail.

They do such a good job with the graphics and scenery, don't they? Loved their settings and backgrounds.
