Eleven years ago a horrific fire took Alice’s family from her and left her terribly burned—and her mind terribly scarred. Afterwards she was confined to Rutledge Asylum, struggling to come to terms with her demons by slipping into her fantasy world of Wonderland. Now, after ten years, she has finally secured her release--yet she still bears the heavy psychological burden of that tragic event.
In Alice: Madness Returns, Alice is released from the asylum to a London psychiatrist’s care. As nightmarish hallucinations continue to haunt her and invade her reality, she seeks to understand her torment in order to recover herself. Her mind in tatters, she is unable to resolve the fear and neuroses prompted by her strange memories, dreams, and visions. Her relocation to London seems only to add to their number and intensity.
Perhaps she’ll do better in Wonderland. She always has. She travels there, seeking what the “real” world can’t provide: security, knowledge, and the truth about the past. But in her absence, Wonderland too has suffered. Something has gone horribly wrong, and now a great evil is descending upon what once was her beautiful refuge.
Can Alice save Wonderland—and herself—from the madness that consumes them both?

Got this on day one and absolutely loved it. One of the better games this gen. I was especially surprised by how lengthy this was. Glad to see it at least got well over half a million copies sold. Message | Report |

Surprisingly good and also lengthy at about 20 hours. A great blend of combat and platforming with a variety of gameplay elements and puzzle solving set in a fantasy world that reminds me of tim burton's a nightmare before christmas. Far better than most reviews suggest i'd give it 8.7/10. Message | Report |

Not terrible, considering the studio is very small and dev cost was very low. Message | Report |
