To me there's no other game with a vibe like this one. The whole plot is just so well- written and surprising at the end. Game dev did a super good job to portray Alice's (in)sanity and her path to untangling it. Also the visuals are purely breathtaking. The scenery darkening bit by bit as you progress throughout the game, enjoyable soundtrack that matches it perfectly really bring this game to the next level. Fighting mechanisms are also good and suit the fragile character very well. I particularly enjoyed the chapter where Alice reaches the Red Queen's castle, and also the Japanese/Chinese one was beautiful. Although one may encontuer some minor bugs I really recommend playing this game at least once. I'm just sad that the author (American McGee) kind of abandoned this project and it's future part, but I understand him and his fight with this big corporation. If it would ever be possible for the third, never released part to see the daylight I would put all my money on it, because after playing this game and the first one I am definitely sure that it would be a masterpiece. This game will stay with me for as long as my memory isn't shattered just like Alice's. TL;DR THIS GAME IS AWSOME AND I WANT TO BUY IT LEGALLY THANK YOU
Another game on my bucket list. Never owned, never played.
GOG, please make it happen . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
i played this game on steam and loved it. its a shame we will never see a third installment. EA shows no interest in the franchise but still old the IP close to their chest. (it is literally that smiling friends sketch) and the developer has given up trying and just wants to move on. but i'm glad we still have these game.
love to see this game preserved because the art style is amazing, the characters are great and love the story
Whilst the first "Alice" game is the one that really holds nostalgia for me, after I first played it in 2010, I was amazed that a sequel was released the next year. Whilst I played a small part of it at a friend's house back in the day, I didn't have a PC powerful enough to run it. And, when I eventually did, it was long after I'd made a firm decision to only buy and play DRM-free games. So, I've been eagerly waiting for this sequel to appear here for literal years... Because, whilst I've got an old CD-ROM of the first game that runs on my PC, I don't really have any way to play the sequel which doesn't involve *ugh* "signing in" to multiple DRM-services...
We’re probably never gonna get the conclusion to the series, Alice Asylum because of EA lack on interest in the brand. But I would love to see Alice: Madness returns along with the original classic Alice game brought to GOG. More people need to play this game, and it should be preserved for future generations through the GOG program.
It would be nice to get this game DRM free on GOG, but you can often buy it for $1 on Steam. Now, if GOG did make an EA-free version of this, I would hope that they include the full functionality of the bonus content that includes the first Alice game as an unlockable without the user having to manually patch it to make it work.
If you manage to acquire it, it would be great to actually make it work - it's capped at 31fps on Steam and crashes on changing resolutions. You have a history of fixing performance, so that'd be nice.
One of the best games i have ever played
I can truly call it a "hidden gem"
Unfortunately i don't have it anymore and I'm looking to buy it and support the amazing developers
I love GOG store and I hope i can buy it here
Finished this game last year for the first time. The combat might get repetetive, but the vibe... oh man, the vibe. I knew i wanted to play this just because i really like the wonderland aesthetic. And i was for sure not dissapointed. Not even like 13-14 years later. Maybe some levels overstay their welcome a bit, but if you are looking for a simple adventure with a deeper narrative, try this one. I still think about this one a lot.
R.I.P. Alice Asylum, i didn't know how much i needed you.

FreelancerEight hundred years prior to the start of our story, bitter conflict divided all of mankind. A handful of colonists struck out on their own to begin anew - far away from the Earth and its turmoil. Several ships were launched with enough equipment and supplies to give the hundreds onboard a fighting chance - but since the area around far-off Sirius had never been surveyed, no one really knew what to expect. What they found was a new frontier of free-flowing natural resources, unexplored territories, great wonders and lurking dangers. Each ship, representing the clusters of people and their earthly place of origin, settled into different parts of the galaxy pre-selected by their ship-board computer to give them the best chance of survival.
Life was hard in the beginning, but over the 800 years the different colonies prospered and expanded their territories, claiming more and more systems for their own. Survival and propagation eventually led to growth and profit as each of the colonies developed specialties and fostered commerce. As the colonies grew and time passed their connections with their roots on Earth dwindled and they lost their memories of the conflicts of the past. Soon their attention was dominated by new, more immediate conflicts. Feelings of lost ancestral connection spurred anachronism in the look of the great cities, and created a somewhat distorted image of each colony's cultural heritage. In the ever-expanding outer edge of the territories, frontier lawlessness prevailed.
The Houses: Each shipboard colony that left Earth carried some memory of its origins in its name. The Liberty carried Americans, The Bretonia flew from The United Kingdom and surrounding territory, The Kusari from Asia, and the Rheinland launched with Germanic cargo.
As each ship settled and colonies began to expand, they knew little about each other and their advancing development. Finally, little by little, the individual colonies found each other and began to set up trade routes to link their systems for commerce and solidarity.
Today, with each colony firmly rooted in its respective corner of the galaxy, the colonies rely heavily on each other for trade and industry but also compete for resources and new territories in the Border Worlds. The colonies mandate member governments in "The New Alliance" within the Sirius sector. To control conflicts, each colony has forged alliances and treaties with others as they have grown. Competition remains fierce, however. Struggles rage for supremacy in business, commerce, resources, power and control. There can be tenuous peace between colonies' political agendas, but the grabs for holdings constantly unsettle the volatile frontier.Our Pick Top Trending Science fiction Sandbox

Black & White 2In the game, the player takes the role of a god called from the void (nothingness) to help those who invoked them. However, the player is not an omnipotent style god, but rather a god who rises and falls with his believers and the player must help develop their nature according to their good or evil desires. The player also has a creature, their physical representation in the world, which takes the form of an anthropomorphic ape, lion, wolf, turtle, cow, or tiger. Its physical manifestation can grow to an immense size, and adopt a good or evil persona separate of the player's. They develop their character as the player rewards or punishes their actions. In addition to the god simulation and city-building elements introduced in the original Black & White, Black & White 2 also features elements of real-time strategy gameplay, with the addition of controllable warfare and fighting units.Top Trending Action Fantasy Comedy Sandbox
