A little FYI for you all. Right now on Steam, Alice: Madness Returns is the Daily Deal at 80% off. That brings the price of the game down to just $6 (USD).
It's a fun title but can be a little long in the tooth for some stages. That is to say, it's not a particularly short game and you may grow tired of some of the locations before you reach the end and move on to the next area. It's also a lot more of a morbid game than other entries in the Alice in Wonderland games out there.
But for $6, you really can't go wrong. Pick it up from Steam before the sale price is gone.
Eleven years ago a horrific fire took Alice’s family from her and left her mind horrifically scarred. Afterwards she was confined to Rutledge Asylum, where she struggled to confront her demons by 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.
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?
