Nice game
My first hidden object game on here. Some levels were pretty challenging, others really easy. Found the storyline a bit short though. Still a nice game.

Glad I didn't pass this one up!
I fell in love with this game during the trial. But, I only purchase games that are listed as 5+ hrs long. All the reviews were saying 3-4hrs or so. Finally decided to go for it anyway and I'm so glad I did. Storyline is great. (Yeah, you're still on a mission to rescue someone) Graphics were good. I normally play with sound muted as I like to multi-task so I can't rate that.
My playing method is to take my time and immerse myself in the story... if possible. This one was easy to get lost in! My final time was about 6.5hrs. All in all, it was a perfect game for me.

Super adventure game
wow... Otherworld SOS was fantastic. For lovers of eerie fantasy games this is for you. Thank you big fish for recently offering this on the daily deal. I played this for 2 days and enjoyed the puzzle very much. The detective also has a british accent which was different. Wonderful game!!!

Try this one but beware you might get addicted
Hummm..what caught my interest is the almost 5 star rating PLUS being a Daily Deal. I found myself caught up and didn't even know how quickly time flies while playing this one. Have to stop myself from wanting to continue in the same sitting.
Beautiful artwork too. Love it!!

THIS IS A MUST FOR A PLEASURABLE DAY OF PLAY
The puzzles are thinkable but capable. The HOS are quite nice. The story is one that you do wait and read. The girl is so cute. I went in the Expert, which they even have one that is harder.
Enjoy, and thank you Big Fish

Pleasantly Different
Can't say enough. This was totally enjoyable. Just a whole lot of fun and not bogged down with a gazillion HOGs. Interesting characters and plot. Nice graphics and a game I think anyone would enjoy.
I did not purchase the CE game, but this game alone was quite lengthy and you move into several worlds with lots to do in each, so I was not disappointed.
Granted there is one ridiculously difficult puzzle, but it comes toward the end. And the only other problem I ran into, was the glass cutting.
To save anyone from all the hassle (and I don't think this qualifies as a spoiler alert, but don't read on if you're a purist) you don't need to trace with the glass cutter, it's a mere click.

Awesome
The story was interesting, the visuals were pretty, the music was a little repetitive, the mini games were just challenging enough, and the value is good for the amount of time it takes from start to finish.

Excellent SE
This game was very enjoyable. Intriguing story/plot.
Pros:
Great length. Took me nearly 5 hours on the medium setting, which is really really good for this type of game (the average one takes me 3-4).
Widescreen :)
Achievements and collectable fairies......don't see this often in a SE.
I actually enjoyed the HoS (I prefer puzzles over HOS), and they varied. Some standard list with some interaction, others were matching a pair of like items, and others were pictures of items you had to find. The HoS were quite spread and I in no way felt overwhelmed by them.
You got to keep the very handy knife and water pitcher the entire game!!!!! I know, this is a minor thing, but it's a pet peeve of mine of these game...."why, oh why, did i get rid of that oh so handy knive/crowbar/screwdriver I had earlier."
Cons:
The map was only minimally interactive and i rarely needed to use it. But this doesn't bother me all that much, having played many games without maps at all. However, this did make for quite a bit of walking back and forth.
The puzzles were fairly easy. There were a few that I couldn't quite understand the instructions at first, but once I got it...it was like "duh"
Bottom line....excellent game....basically all the benefits of a CE for the price of a SE. I'm really becoming a fan of these devo's.

The Great Fairy Hunt
This game turned out to be a very pleasant surprise. I am not usually into the mythical fairy/elf type themes. I bought this game as an extra after purchasing another game.
Glad I added to my cart.
I played the game in the intermediate mode. Beautiful, arty scene pictures. Fun looking for fairies and I love the colourful, sparkly effects throughout. Different take on the usual HO game - lots of different puzzles. Loved the outfit I made for the Hobgoblin- geez, I must be into my second childhood - or I never left it in the first place - lol. I think kids would really like this one.
