story
5,739 mentions Positive Neutral NegativeThe story of "Alice: Madness Returns" is a dark and twisted reinterpretation of the classic "Alice in Wonderland," exploring themes of trauma, mental illness, and recovery as Alice Liddell navigates her fractured psyche. Players are drawn into a richly detailed world filled with grotesque imagery and compelling characters, with the narrative unfolding through collectibles and cutscenes that reveal Alice's tragic past and the corruption of Wonderland. While the story is praised for its depth and creativity, some players note that the gameplay can feel repetitive and the pacing uneven, yet the overall experience remains engaging and thought-provoking.
“The story is an incredibly unique telling of Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland.”
“The story, explored through a mix of the original 'Alice in Wonderland' that we know and love and violent twist on the characters was a delight to progress through.”
“The story is dark and intriguing, and it's easy to see how this is a cult classic.”
“The plot progresses at (mock) turtle's pace.”
“You want to progress with the story, but every NPC gives you some irrelevant and silly side quest that you have to complete before you can move on.”
“The story is dark and deals with a lot of mental abuse and traumatic experiences, the way that any Alice story should be in my opinion, and a dream for any gothic fans.”
