Alt+Escape: Alice Is Dead, Episode 1
- Thread starter John Funk
- Start date
I first played this when browsing Newgrounds a few weeks ago, then again on Kongregate just to get the achievement for completing it (since I'm a major achievement whore). Yahtzee's Chzo Mythos and the demo of the first Broken Sword are what jointly, over several years, got me into point and click adventure games in the first place (to the point where I seek them out now on the internet, and am desperately trying to find a cheap affordable copy of each and every BS game for the PC, if that's possible). But yeah, I played Alice Is Dead, though I have to say the main appeal came from the fact that I've developed a slight obsession with the Alice In Wonderland story (perpetuated by a university theatre company, American McGee, and Tim Burton). But it was definitely a good game. Simple, yet easy to play and the interface was pretty easy to understand and get to grips with. Overall it's a fun little timewaster with an interesting cliffhanger that makes you eager for the next installment. On the whole, I definitely enjoyed it and can't wait to play the next episode 
Just finished it, was a little frustrating at times but not a bad little killer of time. Didn't have to check the walkthrough once, I'm proud of myself I usually have to with these kind of games.
Just managed to finish it. I think that's the first point and click adventure I've ever completed
A bit shorter than the others I tried, though...
that game is slightly twisted. well, maybe more than slightly.

I Remember playing this one back on newgrounds a few months ago!
its a bit short and some of the things are really hard to spot, but other than that its a really well done game.
wonder when the 2nd part will be released !

Well, it looks interesting... but way too complicated. Or maybe I'm getting dumber. It's... hard to tell.
I'll wait until the other episodes are live, but I think a five-minute timewaster is wearing the whole 'episode' thing a tad thin.

I'm pretty sure all BS (har har) games are available at GoG [http://www.gog.com/en/frontpage/] for like ten bucks each.Trivun said:
Well I enjoyed it and had fun. I was stuck at one point fairly early (didn't thought it was possibly to use items on each other but then it played out rather well).
Will the other parts be available for free or will they start to charge something?

I'm somewhat baffled by people who find this complicated...there are only so many things you can do, after all. But I, too, didn't read the instructions properly and so didn't notice that you could combine items.
I thought the sense of humor was absolutely brilliant. Can't wait to play the next chapter.

This game was awesome. Normally I need a walkthrough for these types of games, but once I realised you could take a bone, it all just kind of fit together.
I quite enjoyed this game, and loved the song coming from the box, lol. Looking forward to Episode 2
Ha! I actually played this game long before reading this article and I enjoyed it, wish it was longer though. I loved the song playing in the background.
I primarily remember it being short, and having very annoying music. The writing that was revealed with the monocle was a bit creepy, though.
