Shortly after her second adventure, Through the Looking-Glass, Alice's house is burnt down by an accidental fire, killing her family and leaving her as the only survivor. As time progresses Alice loses touch with reality. She is institutionalized in Rutledge Asylum, where she is observed and treated by Dr. Heironymous Wilson. Alice's only possession in Rutledge is a stuffed rabbit. Ten years after Alice was committed to Rutledge, she finds herself sucked back into a Wonderland that has been twisted by her own broken mind. The White Rabbit summons Alice to aid a radically altered Wonderland, which became a twisted version of itself as it came under the horrible rule of the Queen of Hearts. The Cheshire Cat serves as Alice's companion throughout the game, frequently appearing to guide her with cryptic comments. Read less

Close to the end of the game. The walkthrough I use then says this about the level I’m on:

It's a short level… but the hardest in the game

FML and fuck this game.

I always liked the look and feel of this game, it had a really wonderful atmosphere. I never finished this game though, got stuck and frustrated with one of the boss battles somewhere in the middle of the game.

This is the best worst game ever.

The controls are shit, lots of bugs (some game breaking), you can save mid jump and load to Alice's death, the AI is slow and weird and the animations are awful. But the art is magnificent, seems taken out of an existentialist German film and the hole guilt tripped madness of Alice is …

This is the best worst game ever.

The controls are shit, lots of bugs (some game breaking), you can save mid jump and load to Alice's death, the AI is slow and weird and the animations are awful. But the art is magnificent, seems taken out of an existentialist German film and the hole guilt tripped madness of Alice is refreshing and entertaining.

I played and finished it on the Gamepass Series S version included in Madness Returns.

Sort of difficult controls. Not really intuitive (which path to go, what to do next) The story is a little less good than I remember, it is because the best story content is from "madness returns" Still fun to play.

I played the shit out of this game when I was a young goth kid that loved Alice in Wonderland. Something reminded me of it and decided to give it a go. Oh, boy, time has not been kind to it. I still like the art design and voice work, but the gameplay feels more than dated. The platforming is severely sub par and the spastic and stilted combat is not a good match with the rather hardy enemies.

Have been wanting to play this game since I saw a screenshot in a magazine 15 years ago. Nothing can live up to those expectations, but it was as pretty as I hoped it would be. Now to order Madness Returns.
