Great and a must buy
I really enjoyed playing this game. Not too difficult and a good storyline. One of my favorites. You will enjoy playing this one.

This one is special - a real winner!
This review is based on advanced, the 2nd of 3 game modes.
I absolutely loved this game. The artwork for the story from the vary beginning was original, lovely, and outstanding.
The graphics were crisp and beautiful. As a pleasant change of pace, I found myself turning the music up as it melded very well with the context of each scene throughout the entire game.
This is one beautiful game with clever and cute mini-games, that trended toward the easy. The HOS were fun and varied. Some were "find related pairs", others, "find a certain # of something", and in one case, find the fragments that will combine into an object.
There is a map but it serves to guide the gamer to places open during each chapter, so it not frequently used. There is a journal that serves as a reference a couple of times.
There are 'artifacts' which are little fairies hidden within most scenes. I was able to find 55 of the 60 so that was a bummer.
This is a fairly long game, with about 6 chapters and bonus materials. I am a slow player and it took me a couple of days.
What I didn't like -
The game was buggy. It died more than once and had to be restarted.
A couple of times completion of a mini-game did not cause the game to continue. Instead, I would back out of the game (such as the runes in the church) and start from scratch, then things work work just fine.
During the mini-games, such as at one point, when putting together a stained glass window, the comments at the top of the screen were things like "that's not right! What am I thinking!", or "I should try something else", and on and on, even though I was doing the right things. If this happens to you, just continue and all will be fine.
A couple of the mini-games had a timing element to them and I just do not like being rushed. I play these games to relax so I could do without those puzzles.
Gorgeous Game! Highly Recommend.

A fairly interesting fairy tale
After a standard intro you are taken into a fantasy world inhabited by dryads, to save a little girl abducted by a horrible creature with sharp teeth, horns and no eyes called "The Shade".
As I started the trial version I thought the game would go off the beaten tracks and offer us something totally different. It does in a fashion but not entirely.
The first scenes, remarkable by the way they have been crafted are bucolic, similar to paintings; the highly detailed artwork is indeed a work of art and must have taken hours and hours of hard work.
This idyllic atmosphere doesn't last long, soon turning towards gloom; the marvellous sceneries of the beginning become darkish, confused and up to a point a bit disturbing. That reminded me of Isabella but the other way round and with the slight difference that Isabella did not convey any impression of uneasiness difficult to define.
Focusing on the game itself, and the artwork set aside, I did find some interesting features.
The cutscenes are good, the voice-overs perfect, the goals unambiguously given in the journal, the useful items easy to find, the tasks simple and not too irrelevant in relation with the story, and traveling reasonnable due to the important linearity.
More or less in line with the context too, are the HO Scenes, which for once, do not force us to find the odd rubber duck or the set of false teeth. However some of them are a bit tedious like having to move vines left and right to find 22 spiders that blend in perfectly with a background abundant in leaves and the like. But a few scenes are lovely and easy.
Misclicking too often causes the face of The Shade to invade the screen, something definitely not to my liking.
In addition there are 60 collectibles to gather. They, too, are invisible. I found only one during the demo, quite by chance actually, and made no effort to get the others. This kind of task doesn't exactly correspond to my idea of fun.
The game has a total of 40 puzzles/minigames; those I played had various levels of difficulty, but I didn't really get enthusiastic about any of them as they are variants of tangrams, jigsaw puzzles and rotating circles. They can be skipped, and they reset automatically if you exit before completion.
3 Modes; on Casual hints re-up fast and guide you effectively in determining what to do next; plus a soft music that's quite relaxing, and many achievements to be rewarded with.
The demo lets you play the first 2 Chapters but you need to be fast to complete them in that 1 hour. Which means a more than decent total playtime as you have 6 Chapters for the main game plus the Epilogue [bonus chapter] for the CE.
All in all, in spite of the 22 spiders, the mixture of loveliness and gloom and that awful Shade, I am convinced Otherworld is worth adding to one's collection, although I cannot tell if the storyline is solid no more than if the Epilogue justifies purchasing the CE. I am waiting for the SE.

Oh Happy Day!!!
Well I'm in quite a conundrum. I promised myself no more CE's, but Boomzap went and did it again From everyones comments about color I knew it had to be them. They use color like no one else, which is why they are by far, my favorite developer. I also think they have the BEST voice overs, and this one is no different. As everyone has said the puzzles are new and fun,and as usual, lots of them. Some on the easy side, some not so much. The graphics are exceptional, and the gameplay, well, as I said, fun, fun, fun!!! So I'm going to have to hurt my feelings and break a promise and buy it .The only reason I'm hesitant in the first place, is when it comes out as a SE, it will be a sad day, knowing I've already played it. Thank-you, thank-you, thank-you Boomzap, keep them coming !!

A MUST HAVE!!
My husband and I play together which makes it fun for our relationship...
We have not even finished this game and we LOVE it!!! It is not the typical "Hidden Object" game~
Love doing the "challenges" want to hit "skip", but my husband always says no!!!!, lol
So far this has been one of the most fun games WE have played, and we have played over 50 games!!

Review of Otherworld: Spring of Shadows CE
*This review is based upon completion of the entire game and the bonus content*
My first overall "hurray" for this game is that I was well into the game, and I mean WELL into the game, before I ever got to a true hidden object puzzle. This game is clearly more of an adventure game than a HOG, so for adventurers like myself - YIPPEE!
I am a very critical gamer, but I really would struggle to find weaknesses in this game. There is one, but I'll get to that in a moment.
Strong graphics, strong storyline, strong voice-overs, strong UI, this game just really hits on all cylinders. The mini-puzzles are fun, but they tickled the line of being not challenging enough.
My only complaint is the achievements. Of course, any true gamer wants to nail ALL achievements in a game, and the ones that this developer has set out simply make achieving all of them out of reach. Maybe that's the point. However, with two of the achievements being "Finish the game in one sitting" and "Finish the game in under six hours," many of us are really sunk before we ever start.
The part that really annoyed me was having to find 60 angels while playing the game. At first, it was fun; I always enjoy finding a little something extra in a scene. But, after only a short while into the game, the game play no longer was fun because I became so distracted by finding those darn angels. They had nothing to do with the game, and they really took focus away from the game and took a LOT of fun out of it.
By the end of the game, I was really hating on the finding the collectables.
But, despite those couple of things above, this game was really great. It was just a classy game. No misspellings, good game flow, fun mini-games. I was sad when it was over. Well done!
All in all, this was a fun game that I would recommend.
SPOILER ALERT: READ AT YOUR OWN PERIL!
A gentle, but important warning to my BFG gaming friends:
In this game, you come upon an area where the bad guy has previously killed children and dogs. I was taken aback by that, especially since their petrified bodies were shown.

slow and tedious
I found this game slow and tedious, with little challenge to it. I knew what to do with everything...I guess I like to cuss and swear a bit trying to figure things out.
I felt that there wasn't enough going on in each scene (only one or two things to look at before you have to move on, or back).
The graphics were lovely in a very artistic way, but I would prefer them on my wall rather than in a game - The sketchiness of them gives me eye strain.
The music was nice and the concept/story was rather clever I thought. I was disappointed that I came across no HO scenes, just a LOT of puzzles.
I played through chapter one and then quit because I was getting very irritated by then. I do believe though, people who don't have a lot of experience, and/or those who like a slow, meandering pace in a game will like this one...it's just not for me.

Otherworld indeed...
What can I say ?
What an awesome game !
Great story, beautiful graphics, and set in a fantasy world filled with magical creatures, both good and evil, to boot.
The puzzles weren't really challenging to me, but hey, most of us play to relax and quite often late at night too.
I liked the wide variety of puzzles and hidden object challenges, and I loved how you can earn 'rewards' for completing certain objectives.
The only thing I could find wrong with this game was that the final chapter felt a bit rushed and the epilogue a bit short, but that's it.
Playing this game was a joy, and I will definitely re-play it again in the near future.
It's a game that will never get boring ! :)

Expert Challenge a Real Challenge
I love games where I can choose the level to play. This time I chose Expert - no hints, no skips of mini games, no sparkles and so on. The game lived up to the claims that it was a good challenge. I bought the Collectors edition and had to resort to the walkthrough three times - so the game was overall intuitive.
It was a good length. The mini games were relatively easy as were the HOGs but the storyline and the collection of objects to get from one scene to the next was complex and interesting.
I also like games where there are achievements or secondary challenges to keep an eye out for. I thought I was doing well collecting the fairies and found I had missed nine.
The game has many different chapters to keep up the interest, the music is non-intrusive and I loved the complexity of the graphics.
Overall, I think this game would be fun for people at all levels.

About time!
Loved this game and everything about it, at long last a game that can involve me without me even knowing it or getting bored with the neverending HOS! mini games not too hard, which makes a change on some, I love adventure games but normally when they are with HOS that seems all you have sometimes, but this totally different! bought CE and Very pleased, from the graphics to the puzzles to everything.
IF there was a downside its the womans accent but I just laughed at it and carried on, certainly nothing to be worried about.
Nice and LONG game for a change too many seem to quick these days.
I WOULD DEFINITELY recommend this game as a must for adventure fans who are not into too many HOS.
LOVE IT.
