When I first played Immortal Love Bitter Awakening, I think I was a bit stressed and couldn’t seem to appreciate or get into the game, which is surprising since I absolutely love 4Friends Games and believe that everything they do is top quality. So when I went back and replayed the game today, I found out how wrong I was the first time. Sometimes it is good to replay games that don’t “click” at ...Show more

When playing Bitter Awakening the storyline unfolds in various HOS as we learn what caused the feud between the clans that leads to Alison and Jacob being cursed by the amulet. The game has a lot of detail and some excellent HOS along with terrific puzzles. The puzzles were at times challenging but for the most part they were easy to solve. What I enjoyed the most were the beautiful list style HOS, but I still am not a fan of the storybook type of scenes that I find boring.

In the end I have to admit that Immortal Love Bitter Awakening is most likely one of the best games in the Immortal Love series. The game has kept me entertained for hours as I worked to break the curse that has kept Jacob and Alison apart. If you happen to love fantasy type games then I highly recommend that you try Bitter Awakening as it is a game that is sure to keep you entertained for hours. I am happy that I purchased the CE version of the game and gave the game a second look because it was worth it. Happy gaming! Show less

I recommend this game!

Love all the Immortal love games, I have them all, beautiful graphics, HOP scenes are delightfully beautiful clear and crisp, took me about 3 and a half hours to complete, great story line...only reason I did not give a 5 star is there was some lagging in between each scene which slows the game down...Ty Devs!!..I recommend this game

AN IMMORTAL FORBIDDEN LOVE

fromCan we get a game about Oberon the Dragon? Perhaps about his previous masters, he was such a cool "helper".

Completed Game just shy of 4 hours
(including CE Bonus Chapter and all mini-games)

An Immortal Love knows no boundaries, but Jacob and Alison have a forbidden kind of Immortal Love. Born into rival Clans, this young couple had no idea how deep the hatred ran, most clan members didn't know why they were rivals. No one believed that there was a time when the two Clans were at peace with one another, in fact, they even loved one another. Ahh, but that was long ago, and way before Jason and Alison were cursed, a Forbidden Love, an Immortal Love, a love that remains even though fate has dealt them the cruelest hand, ...and even stole their precious memories.

I'm a fan of most 4Friends games and although this storyline reminded me of one of my favorite older movies, Ladyhawke. I wasn't particularly fond of the mini-games, hidden object scenes or the "gadgets" I was even more disappointed that the Collector's Edition Opaque Sheep and Morphing Objects were so poorly hidden and way too obvious. Normally, I LOVE 4Friends games because of the challenge of their CE collectibles, but I was able to find both sheep and both morphs in each scene within mere seconds, the sheep were too large (and why sheep?) and the morphs too obvious (mostly because they were the only small item in the scene)

There are 2 Gadgets/Helpers since you are playing as both characters from different Clans. Alison is granted 3 Abilities by her Guardian Owl, Owl Defense, Owl Attack, and Owl Agility and Jason has a Guardian Bear that grants him 3 special Abilities, Bear Strength, Bear True Sight, and Bear Wisdom. You will only use these abilities one time per ability per guardian and there are no repetitive mini-games required to use them, but you aren't granted the ability until a Memory Star is collected by "remembering" something to trigger it. The biggest issue I had with this scenario was that the Bear Guardian seemed kind, and just, wanting and willing to solve the 2 clans differences. The Owl Guardian, on the other hand, seemed angry and revengeful, spiteful, and unwilling to see both sides of the coin, quite frankly, kind of an owlhole who wasn't about to bend or try to bury their differences, and this was a huge turn off for me. (and contradicting to the actual plot?) You would think both guardians would be wise and peaceful, especially an owl? There was a similar helper feature in the last Immortal Love, a dragon named Oberon, but Oberon was adorable, graphically appealing, and looked really cool wrapped around the character's wrist as a bracelet, these guardians look rather dull and evil with their blue glowing eyes.

There are 12 Hidden Object Scenes (some are HOP's that include puzzles) +6 in the CE Bonus Chapter (some of the mini-games are cross-overs that could be a HOP but are listed as a mini-game) Nearly all of them are Interactive Listed Item Finds, and most Scenes are Repeated once. Several scenes had fragments hidden under each item that would complete a box image of some sort which would open to reveal the last item. There are also a couple of Silhouetted Shape Finds, and the only one I was impressed by, was a Progressive~Interactive Silhouetted Shape scene towards the end where you had to find images that matched the silhouetted shapes hidden throughout several books. That same scene was repeated and this time you had to click on pages in a layout of open books to create & align images. There are no alternative puzzles available.

There are actually only 18 Mini-Games +5 in the CE Bonus Chapter because some of the Mini-Games are really a type of Hidden Object Scene (finding & replacing items) but 4Friends lists them as Mini-Game, NOT Hidden Object Scenes. I wasn't thrilled with most of the mini-games because they are the same games offered by 4Friends, some of which I believe was just offered in their last recent release of a different series. They are far too simple and can easily be solved on the first attempt. I don't mind easy games if they are fun, but they should also throw in a few more complex mini-games, now and then. Below are a few of my favorite games offered:

1~Select from 3 different patterns to move chips into their corresponding slots.
2~Slide tiles to highlighted positions on a cross until the tiles complete the images on the edges of the cross. ღ
3~Remove all Owl Chips by jumping them with 2 available Bear Chips. (would have been awesome with a little more challenge) ღ
4~Combine ingredients using the pictured equations until you have created the 3 correct ingredients necessary to make medicine required. ღ
5~Place character pictures according to the descriptions (this person loves that person, this person hates this person)
6~Slide puzzle tiles using existing tiles and bumpers to create an image in the center. ღღ
7~Arrange tiles from smallest to largest according to the clues on 3 different stacks.

The Collector's Edition Bonus Chapter winds the clock back just a tiny bit to learn about another couple whose life and love became shattered by the Amulet of Oblivian. Like Jason and Alison, Douglas and Ayla had a love for one another that was forbidden by their respective clans. Their bond helps them escape the clutches of Vivan as well as what lies ahead waiting to rear its ugly head. The is an average Length Bonus Chapter that takes place over 9 Scene Locations and has 6 Hidden Object Scenes and 5 Mini-Scenes. After completing the Bonus Chapter you will unlock the final 3 replayable mini-games and hidden object scenes. You won't use the Owl & Bear special Abilities but you will continue the Qpaque Sheep Collection (18) and Morphing Object Collection (18) with 2 of each per scene, a feature I do enjoy when the collectibles continue to the very end.

The Collector's Edition version has 19 Scene Locations +9 Bonus Chapter Scene Locations. 8 Wallpapers (all w/characters noooo) 29 Concept Art Pictures, 4Screensavers, 6 Music Soundtracks, 38 Movie Video Cutscenes, 25 Achievements To Earn, 13 Replayable Hidden Object Scenes, 14 Replayable Mini-Games, 56 Opaque Sheep (2 in each scene) 56 Morphing Objects (2 in each scene) 5 Collectible Sheep (to unlock by collecting 5-10-25-45-56 opaque sheep) 5 Main Chapters +Bonus Chapter and a Built-in Strategy Guide

Excellent gameplay, good storyline, I liked the games and puzzles, but this was 6 very, very short chapters. Seems like I barely got started and then I was done. I had a sneaking suspicion that would happen when the chapters started flying by, but still, that was a disappointment.

I will recommend it, for story and game play, but please, don't pay full price for this!

This is an ok game but it is pretty short and had absolutely no challenge to it. At all. That's probably why it was so short.

The story was a good one but like so many games these days, the story just ends. And I do mean it just ends to where you end up looking at the screen saying "really, that's the end?". This was the SE so maybe the CE expands on the ending in the bonus chapter.

I recommend this game!

I like most of the other Immortal Love games so, in spite of the meh rating I thought I'd try this one.The graphics were primitive but the color scheme was soothing to the eyes instead of bright and glaring. Puzzles started out very simple but got better as the game went along. I found the characters hard to keep track of but it didn't detract from the overall story. The game was ridiculously ...Show more
