Game-ending glitch

One of the torches needed for the infinite hallway disappeared from my inventory.

This game was fine, but had a LOT of touchscreen sensitivity issues which are not great in a hidden object game. But then a necessary item disappeared from my inventory at nearly the end of the game! I don’t want to replay from the beginning. I’m so disappointed.

I looked around all of the screens to see if it was hidden somewhere else, and watched a video walkthrough as well. I definitely found all the torches as they’re not in the locations shown in the walkthrough anymore. And I built the one I needed to build. But one has vanished and that means I can’t complete a game I purchased. Not a great feeling. I loved True Fear, which was my first BigFish game, and this seriously makes me think twice before paying for another.

Had to write a review for this title!

Taking full advantage of Big Fish’s year-end sale, I’ve had the past few weeks to catch up on BF’s more recent titles available on the iPad. At this point, I’ve been a bit jaded playing these HOGs. But “the Other Side” has reinvigorated my thirst! Where BF titles stuck along the same mix of puzzles, storytelling & difficulty, TOS Perfected the formula. Slightly more difficult, the puzzles are well placed, both pace-wise & for the story itself. (ie. Puzzles weren’t just randomly tossed in.) Alawar always had better HOGs under the Big Fish banner, so I shouldn’t be surprised, but this is one HOG I have to recommend.
My sole complaint: video sequences end mid-sentence. It seems to occur a second or two (mid-sentence) earlier than it’s supposed to. Not sure if it’s a bug or some OS issue though.

Just started and enjoying the storyline

Original idea, nice graphics. Only negative so far is loading time between scenes.

Are you KIDDING ME!!!!!!!!!!!

I have played this bleeping game all the way to where I'm trying to get the 5 torches lit for the elders and what a waste! I got my torches lit but I needed a hint on what to do next and it told me a pick axe head was stuck in the wall. Yeah right, that would be the pick axe in my inventory that I just used!!!!
So disappointed 😔

Loved this game!

I didn't find one thing to complain about. This is by far one of my favorite HOPA games. Awesome game. I enjoyed it so much, thank you to the alaware team.

The Other Side - definitely a good side!

Original storyline, great artwork and a snarky Cheshire Cat as a companion. What's not to love? Boris is quite opinionated as is the diary and hint system. Gotta love this game!

so far so good

haven't gotten too far but like it so far! will update late so 4 stars for now!
