I also finished this game and enjoyed it.
Though I probably would never have finished it without the walkthrough.

The ending is more or less a matter of taste.  ;)

Spoiler
Actually, I would have liked a complete happy-ending...

But it fit well, so don't worry, it was still funny.  :D

Bye, Straston

I thought the game was excellent, but as for the ending:

Spoiler
Actually, I'm curious whether Alkis had decided on the ending before he started coding. It seems to me that the ending would have been a lot stronger if everything if the fantasy world in retrospect could be seen as symbolic representations of the player character's emotional struggle. It could have been quite interesting if the locations and characters in the "Other Worlds" referred back to actual places and people in her old life as well as at the asylum (Cabinet of Dr. Caligari style). Imagine a Usual Suspects/Through the Looking Glass kind of twist where everything we've experienced in the game was actually derived from pictures, book spines and decorative objects on the shelves that the catatonic girl is looking at all day

Just wanted to let everyone know that Other Worlds was reviewed in a PC Master magazine (Greece) and got an 85%.
Since the mag is still out, I don't think I'm allowed to post the entire text. It was a two pages review, under "Positive" it listed:

-Classic old school adventure game
-Very good and in some cases exceptionally witty humor
-Use of spells
-Characters

and under "Negative":

-Graphics
-The ending
-Difficulty in finding the Exits

oh how wonderful!ÂÃ, visible spoilers in the completed game announcements! good job! :=

It's fine to post visible spoilers in the Hints and Tips forum but posting them here is totally ignorant and unfair towards people who haven't played that particular puzzle yet. Use the [hide*] [/hide*] tags(put the spoiler inbetween those tags and don't write the *). This way you'll avoid making people hate you.

Angry? Meeee? Neeeeverrrr!ÂÃ,  ;D
Spoiler
this is a fake grin to hide that I am actually angry

Thou art right in thy wrath, but also a bit behind the times. :) A little while ago the "no hints here, use the hints and tips forum instead" rule started being enforced. This thread is much older, so what in fact does is show what things were like before then. So while your anger is justified, it's not much use here, see? ;)

the post I was replying to is from 8th jan 2006, so I guess I'm not that far behind the times(unless the rule you mentioned has been enforced on the 8th jan 2006 at 22:47  ::)).

You're totally right, my mistake. ;D

You could ask a moderator to spoiler it. Since the poster's a "guest" he/she won't be able to edit it him/herself.

You might be right, but still i dont find it such a serious mistake to make you so angry! Just for your info on Jan 8 i registered, so i think that i can excuse myself for making you angry, and thank you for your info about entering the spoilers bracket!
Spoiler
i suppose the xmas spirit must have left you untouched as to hate people so easily

woops, still need some practice there. and in my opinion saying "hey i'm a newbie!" is a pretty lame excuse for not reading the forum rules. also i didn't say I hate you. i was just reffering generally to other people who  m i g h t  react extremely hateful at someone else ruining a great game for them. i just said I was angry which is a difference - I'm sometimes angry at my sis which doesn't mean I hate her. about the thing being serious or not, that's totally subjective. if I don't get warned that I'm about to read a spoiler for a game I have yet to play, and actually read it, I find it quite upsetting, though you might not care at all and label it "eh, not serious". ignorance is bliss. as for the christmas spirit.... hey i didn't throw things at you and I gave you some useful advice for the future. that's something I do exclusively for christmas. but if that wasn't christmasy enough I'll be happy to add a hearty HO HO HO!!!  ;D

Anyway! Back to the topic, I'm stuck!

Spoiler
I've gotten the password, and I've noticed that the first letters of each new sentence spell out the hidden message " get the rope ". Now, how do I make Natalia realise that? Or am I suppose to just get the rope? If so, what rope? Is it referring to the nylon cord at the curtain?

that should be in "hints and tips" but ...
yes (to your last question) ... do you already have the knife?

Edit: (ontopic) Besides AGDIs KQ remakes, which introduced me to AGS, Other Worlds was the first AGS game I played and completely convinced me, that this is a community I have to stay in touch with, so as not to miss such good freeware games  :)
