Long ago, a kingdom was cast into darkness. Its king and queen were cursed to a deep sleep. Their daughter, Princess Sophia, ascended the throne and brought hope to the kingdom. In her quest to awaken her parents from their slumber, Sophia learned of a powerful Enchantress who could undo the spell. Alas! On her way to the Enchantress' lair at Sunhook Spire, she was beset by treacherous mercenaries. Can the young Queen escape the mercenaries and get to Sunhook Spire safely? After a thousand years of separation, will Sophia finally meet her parents? Scale the heights of Sunhook Spire, rescue the Enchantress and uncover the tower's mysteries in this epic journey!

If you are a fan of the Awakening series your gonna like this game, if you haven't played any games in this series I still think your gonna like this game. Queen Sophia has returned to Sunhook Spire to rescue the Enchantress. She has tried desperately to find a way to reverse the curse that has made her parents fall into a spiritless sleep. The colors are beautiful and the graphics are clear and crisp with magical flair. Your friend the wise owl has returned to assist you with directions as well as hints and that cute baby dragon is your faithful companion. Throughout the game you will be able to add magical powers like wind to your dragon to make him more powerful. The HOS are interactive and I loved the one where you had to find items in a pond as a turtle swims around and when you click on the water itself it reacts just like real water! This game however is all about the puzzles, every scene has plenty of things to do and the puzzles are fun and unique. The first puzzle set the pace for this game and I was hooked, you must exchange different goblin statues that are holding tools to match the hints as shown above but that's all you get are vague hints. Another puzzle I enjoyed was the pattern disks where you had to figure out the pattern with limited clues and missing clues in order to finish the pattern. So whether you are a fan of the Awakening series or not, I still think you will enjoy this game. Show less
I recommend this game!

Sunhook Spire is the 5th installment of the Awakening series. Although it follows the story of Princess Sophia's quest to wake her parents from their cursed sleep, it is, like the others, a stand alone game.
In this installment, the dragon and the owl are back and are as lovable and helpful as ever.

5 chapters
3 levels of play; relaxed, normal and dreadmyre
variety of HOS; some of them quite different, ie colour coded objects.
beautiful music and artwork
journal
interactive map
optional tutorial
I played the middle level of the CE and the trial of the SE just to see what the differences were (no morphing objects, bonus chapter, SG or wallpapers etc) Perhaps I should have played the hardest level because I found the game quite easy.
I gave the game 5 stars, but 4.50 would be more acurate. I took points off because, even though I love these games, I am beginning to think the princess will never be reunited with her parents.
I bought the CE without even trying it, because I have played all the other installments and I am always so enthralled with the gorgeous artwork and music, plus this genre of game is my favourite.
As with any game, if you haven't played any of the preceding games, please try the trial and decide for yourself. Show less

STORY: Princess Sophia is now Queen of her kingdom and must go in search of the one person who can bring her parents out of their deep sleep. Well-developed storyline. Pocket dragon is back and this time he gets an additional power of wind. The hint system (the owl) is specific if you need help navigating the scenes.
OTHER STUFF: Your journal has information needed to solve some of the puzzles, as well as a map showing where actions are pending on Easy Mode. Music is non-intrusive. Graphics are magnificent; crisp and clear; the artistry is first-class using colors to create the various visually-appealing environments. Well conceived and executed details to make the atmospheres come to life. Superb!
GAMEPLAY: Mostly adventure, requiring finding objects in the HOS and solving fun and interesting puzzles. Good ratio of HOS and mini-games. The HOS are either list-based or pictures of different colors. For the pictures, you have to change the overall hue of the scene to one of the colors of the pictures before you can collect them. [Ex: you have red, blue, green and yellow objects. Change the hue of the scene to red to collect any red objects, then change the hue to blue to collect the blue objects, etc.] Puzzles are unique and challenging.
SUMMARY: An outstanding, beautifully conceived game with flawless play and enchanting environments to navigate. Show less

This is a do-not-miss visually spectacular and compelling game. I can't describe how beautiful the graphics are in this game. There is a pocket dragon and an owl to assist the player with lighting fires and giving hints. The H O scenes were not run of the mill, they were different, and a lot of fun, not the usual, let's get this scene over with type of H O. They were interesting, as were the mini games and puzzles. Some of them pretty challenging.
The storyline was great, a young queen searching for her parents encounters evil mercenaries on the way to find them and then must not only find and free her parents but must free herself first.
The voiceovers were done in perfect English, always a plus, and the background music was soothing.
An excellent, must-buy game.

I really enjoyed this game, most entertaining. The graphics were picturesque with lots of eye candy that made you smile at viewing each new area. But importantly, the game did not rely on this only to capture the gamer.
The storyline is good and the game never swayed from the purpose of the story. I like that! There are many unique mini games to enjoy, they made you think a lot. Fantastic voice overs and smooth cut scenes which blend without black screens in between (I hate when games do that). The HOS are well thought-out displays and are enough to add interest for HOS lovers without being overdone. The characters are stunning in their mannerisms and outfitted in detailed splendor that sometimes I actually paused just to look at them. I definitely recommend this game.

This game gets more and more inventive at each installment. The way they handle HOGs is probably the most unusual. Not only they are interactive, but also you have to switch back and forth between scenes.
The mingames are also inventive. The storyline continues Sophia's saga.
Since the story does not end yet, we may be looking at a new, more inventive game soon.
I recommend this game!

Another beautiful game from the Awakening games...truly amazing scenery along with music plus fantastic puzzles as always in these games..
As well it's good to see that the story still continues on which
makes you feel that your an actual part off Sophia's journey.
A very enjoyable game to play.
I highly recommend this game...Thanks Bigfish:)

There are some new and different things in this episode that I liked. One was the new HOS where you have to find different colored objects that are only visible when you change the color of the screen - red objects with red screen etc. Water scenes had reactions to clicking on the water or objects in the water. There were multiple matching pairs and pictoral matches to be done. There are a lot of minigames many with little direction and I found a few I skipped as I could not figure out what needed to be done.
There are a lot of puzzles to figure out to advance the game and move to the next chapter. most are fairly easy to figure out but if you get stuck just click on the goals tab and the owl will give you directions.
There is a map but I found it easier just to travel to locations on my own as the labels were written in some language and you had to hold the cursor over a location to see the translation. The pocket dragon is back and in this episode he can be changed to do different things like fire, cold, wind, etc.
