So many mediocre games come and go, but this one is a gem. Many in this series have been very good, but this one is my favorite.
I enjoyed the plot, characters, art and music. I especially enjoyed the variety and quantity of the locations -- very long game. The other highlight for me is that the games were thinkers, but not too difficult or random in solution.
I enjoy the extras of the CE version e.g. finding collectibles, morphing objects in the HOs (which also were well done), and getting the achievements. The only achievement I missed was to attack the henchmen without mistakes.
This is definitely the best adventure game I've played in the past couple of years (and first review I've done in about that timespan).
Enjoy gamers!

I thoroughly enjoyed this game and purchased the CE on sale. After finishing the bonus game, I would say that you can wait for the SE - unless like me you were so drawn into the story and gameplay that it was worth buying for early game play. The main story is a decent length 5 hours or so and story resolves satisfactorily that extended story isn't required. There aren't any achievements, collectibles or morphing objects. The story, scenes, music, voice overs are really well done.
I recommend this game!

This game is worth having as a CE. Very much like Drawn with excellent visual quality and appeal. I found the music very enjoyable and suited to the scenes. I finished the main game and bonus and didn't manage to get half of the achievements (got all but 1 acorn) and plan to play again. Enjoy!
I recommend this game!

I was pleasantly surprised to see this sequel to the first Otherworld - and this installment has the same qualities that I found very enjoyable with beautiful artwork, a soothing musical score and a good fairytale story.
Definitely worth the CE for me. It took me over 4 hours to complete the the original game, and another 50 minutes to complete the bonus. You certainly don't need the bonus storyline, but since I enjoyed the first Otherworld I couldn't resist this CE. Enjoy!
I recommend this game!

I'm not sure what drew me into purchase this game, but it was a waste of a free punch card.
I don't recommend this game.

Developer doesn't disappoint - good quality graphics, story, voices, but IMHO not CE worthy without achievements/morphing objects/extra objects to find.
The residents of Bitterford, Maine have fallen prey to a terrible curse. It’s up to you to unravel the series of mysterious events that led to the town’s downfall and uncover the evil that was responsible.

Some good thoughts went into the development of this game, but not quite enough. Not visually interesting. The main acting of the psychic was too average - neither believable nor over-the-top enough (the Ghost Patrol pair on camera were just right though). The mechanics of the CE morphing objects was confusing since the puzzles to enact them weren't needed to complete the game. The inability to stop the credits was annoying. Well the bar is now set pretty low - the next MCF entry should be a slam dunk.
I don't recommend this game.

Purchased immediately after playing demo. My favorite game genre is large file adventure, and this is the best facsimile of that genre in casual gaming mode I've come across. I enjoy the Sherlock Holmes detective genre in particular and this game definitely feels very similar (without some of the gory and intense parts).
I'm very impressed with this game thus far, and had to stop for a quick rave review before proceeding. The game's afoot!

These types of games are fun (like Tiny Bang Story), but this one appears to be quite short. It took me only 30 minutes to complete the demo which got me through chapter 1 and there are only 5 chapters - so I would expect the game to take 2.5 hours. I'll wait for a game sale or Daily Deal.
I don't recommend this game.
