### 1/5 — Game-ending glitch

*2020-07-20, version 1.0*

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.

### 3/5 — Are you KIDDING ME!!!!!!!!!!!

*2017-09-16, version 1.0*

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 😔

### 4/5 — Just started and enjoying the storyline

*2017-12-23, version 1.0*

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

### 4/5 — so far so good

*2015-08-28, version 1.0*

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

### 5/5 — Had to write a review for this title!

*2020-01-01, version 1.0*

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.

### 5/5 — Loved this game!

*2016-12-20, version 1.0*

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.

### 5/5 — The Other Side - definitely a good side!

*2016-01-01, version 1.0*

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!
