Concept is simple; catch the finish required in the quantities required and you win the round... sounds simple right? What if you threw in; fast swimming fish, an abundant amount of garbage refuse and a sprinkle of touch activated bombs? Still sound simple? Agreed, not so much now.
With bonus treasures at key points and somewhere between 22-23 upgrades (upgrades fall within 4 specific areas; boats, lures, fishing rods and knives) you get a lot more than just a simple fishing game with BFG's "FISHING".
Quality with regards to graphics are simple yet perfectly fine for the game; same can be said for the soundtrack.
Though not their best fishing game, still would recommend the splurge and purchase, especially since BFG does not release to many of these types of games.
So, take the leap and go and get your feet wet!!!!!
I recommend this game!
After Awakening in a mysterious castle it's up to you to collect clues and items needed to solve perplexing puzzles and escape!

The Bottom Line
With a great mixture of elements from two different genres, a strong variety of different puzzles and mini-games, and some of the most gorgeous production values around, Awakening: The Dreamless Castle is a superb example of a hidden object/adventure game. Though it may be short, clocking in at just under three hours (though you can play a few rounds of goblinjong after the main game is over), while it lasts the game is an incredibly engrossing, serene experience, and the perfect way to spend an afternoon or evening.
I recommend this game!

If you loved Gardenscapes, you'll love this one -- and maybe more! I do, as it adds to Austin's back-story and includes more animation. This time our favorite butler/house manager Austin goes home to help his parents spiff up their home. You get to meet them, two colorful characters, and to find old family photos in the HO scenes to add to your Photo Album -- Gardenscapes is basically one HO game after the next. Again, you hold sales, room by room, to earn money for the improvements, and the faster you find the items, the more money you get. By and large, items are well lit and clear, although at least a couple times I found more than one object with the same name and the game would only recognize one of them. Similarly, there was some carelessness in the drawing and animation -- when Austin sits down and crosses his leg, he has only one leg! And sometimes the dog (which you get to name) just runs through him.
The main problem is that the house doesn't look that bad at all, and developers desperately need to provide better choices in terms of furnishings and fix-ups. I'd also have appreciated a map or plan of the house.
Overall, Austin is such a charming character and says such funny things -- when he waters the garden, he says, "I'm the personification of the rain!" And he even dances a jig and plays pool for you when you get him a pool table! So this game gets a 5 for charm, story, and lively game play!
I recommend this game!
