The Awakening series is all about the adventures of Princess Sophia, after she awakes to find herself trapped in a mysterious castle. With the help of the friendly fairy, her adventure unfolds throughout the entire series.
Today, I am here to list all the Awakening Games in order, so you can play them chronologically too. We have the main series, consisting of six games, and a final release which is also a prequel to Princess Sophia’s story and can be played first or last – it doesn’t change things much, in my opinion.
There was also a free game released after the 5th title, which had no real connection to the main story, even though it featured characters and lore from it.
With these in mind, I’ve listed the complete Awakening games series below, in order. Let’s check out all the details about these games!

While it’s not part of the main story line, it’s a nice play for fans of the Awakening series (and you should play it, since it’s free).

Escape your village, investigate the truth, and journey to the ends of the kingdom and into its castles, meeting allies with unique abilities that can help you. Uncover the secrets behind the war or the kingdom of your birth will be destroyed!
NOTE: Although released last, this is a prequel and you can play it first, before all the others. However, if you do, you might feel the difference in terms of gameplay and visuals when you continue… so I recommend playing it last.
You can get the game on Steam or Amazon (bundled with The Redleaf Forest- affiliate link).
