From the Manufacturer
---------------------
Alice: Madness Returns is an Action-Adventure game that delves
deep into the dark and violent side of the imagination, creating
a nightmarish Wonderland where Alice must face the demons that
haunt her visions. Visit the grim reality of Victorian London and
then travel to the beautiful yet ghastly Wonderland to uncover
the root of Alice's madness and discover the truth behind a
deadly secret, kept hidden for years. Features include:
upgradable melee weapons and magic abilities, a shattered
gameword filled with altered versions of Lewis Carroll's famous
characters and intuitive and rewarding puzzle play.
Return to a Very Different Wonderland
-------------------------------------
Eleven years ago a horrific fire took Alice's family from her and
left her mind horrifically red. Afterwards she was confined
to Rutledge Asylum where she struggled to confront her demons by
slipping slipping further 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.
Join Alice once again in her search for truth hidden within
madness.

With her mind in tatters, she is unable to resolve the fear
prompted by her strange memories, dreams, and visions. 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?
Gameplay
--------
Alice: Madness Returns like the original 2000 game release for PC
that it is a sequel to, is a third-person, single player, action
game that incorporates platforming and combat gameplay. Playing
as Alice players retreat into Wonderland for comfort from the
real world, only to find it in even more shambles than before.
Yet this world that exists in Alice's head holds the secrets to
her repressed memories and the truth behind the murder of her
family. Players must fight their way across this world using a
mixture of melee weapons, magic and puzzle-solving and
platforming skills to defeat a variety of enemy types, each with
particular strengths and weakness. By besting each, players
collect in-game currency that can be used to upgrade weapons and
skills. In addition to combat players also must explore every
corner of this strange world to find clues, messages and potions
that help to literally unlock memories that will finally expose
the truth behind the madness.
