Other Worlds is a traditional game which took me 3.5 years to complete. It is a 3rd person, point & click adventure that looks and plays like the late 80s Sierra / LucasArts productions. My intention was to create the best amateur freeware game ever in terms of gameplay.
Features:
-More than 150 locations to explore
-More than 40 characters to interact with
-Dozens of inventory items
-The infamous A.L.K.I.S. interface (A.L.K.I.S. stands for Advanced Language Kit and Interface System)
-An intriguing, humorous story full of surprises and plot twists
-A large number of challenging puzzles

It is a fantasy story of a young woman going on a quest to find her missing friend, and discovering a lot more.

If you overlook the graphics, this is probably one of the best games I have played on AGS. The characters are interesting and unique, the storyline makes you want to keep playing and is full of twists and unpredictability (I loved the ending). There were lots of puzzles (this is a LONG game - another reason to play it, in my opinion) and most were challenging without bringing you to the point of tearing out your hair. Also, the plot made you want to complete the puzzles to find out what happens next. So . . . kudos to Alkis! This is an amazing game.
The bad character sprites make for an awful contrast with the backgrounds. Some puzzles come down to pixel hunting. The characters and dialogues come across as unnatural. At one point I thought that the game was going somewhere, and then the storyline was bluntly interrupted with a 'joke' on behalf of the Myst-games. Then I got pulled into another world with plain boring characters, and then I gave up on it. I spent several hours on the game hoping to get to see why so many people seem to like/love it, but to me, it never got to be more than a waste of time.
Terrible game!!! Photo backgrounds and drawn characters - bad combination! :(
Don't know why I haven't left a review yet - played this gem a few years ago and it is still one of my all-time favorite adventure games. The characters, puzzles, and the wonderful story make it a must-play for AGSers in my opinion. With a lot of games I just mindless play through and forget about them the next day, but I really was drawn into this game, and still think about it once in a while. Thank you Alkis! <3
I love this storyline.
