Alice Madness Returns Plot

A selection of some of the game projects that I've worked on.


MONUMENT VALLEY

Monument Valley is an illusory adventure of architecture and forgiveness, for iOS and Android devices. It won an Apple Design Award and two Unity Awards.

  • In Alice: Madness Returns, she has left the asylum but now living in a London orphanage under the care of psychiatrist Dr. However, lingering suspicions about the fire send her on another trip into Wonderland to uncover the truth, and darker secrets around her.
  • Jun 16, 2011  Alice: Madness Returns - The Infernal Train, final boss and ending - Duration: 20:17. Halflight 42,192 views.
  • Alice: Madness Returns™ Spicy Horse Standard Edition As children we were told the story of Alice, a girl who went on an amazing adventure with mischievous cats, fancy tea parties, and an extremely irritable Queen. This isn’t a fairytale.
  • Alice: Madness Returns is a gothic horror adventure game, a sequel to the acclaimed American McGee's Alice.I spent three years as Art Director at Spicy Horse in Shanghai, leading a team of talented artists in creating the characters, environments, special effects and other visual assets for the game.
  • Nov 12, 2013  American McGee's oriigional Alice really had a plot with Alice having to face her own guilt over the loss of her parents and the fact she was the only survivor. I have played the origional game with the help of the guidebook. I hope that madness returns will also publish a guidebook.

If someone played Asylum before Madness Returns, then he would appear more noble and inconspicuous, and would retroactively make the plot twists in Madness Returns more shocking. Some concept art, however, depicts him around the same age in Madness Returns, when he should look appear a decade younger. However, if Bumby visited Alice in Rutledge. Jun 14, 2011 I've heard a common complaint against Alice adaptations is getting the person too comfortable with the surroundings. Here, it gets stranger and stranger the more you play it, while never really losing us in stuff like the plot or whatever else needed to be focused on, it's easily the best thing in the game and it's worth looking at just for it.

I was the lead designer and one of the artists on this project, made at ustwo.

Alice: Madness Returns for PC, PS3 and X360 is a sequel to a TPP action game from released in 2000. The first installment was created by Rogue Entertainment (also known for such games as Strife and Quake II: Ground Zero) – a company that has ben closed since. The second part of Alice’s adventures was developed by Spicy Horse, a studio founded by American McGee. The developer is mostly known for American McGee’s Grimm. This game is a reinterpretation of Lewis Caroll’s novel about Alice – a young girl who explores a bizarre, fantasy world full of anthropomorphic creatures. However, American McGee’s version presents the adventure in a much darker way. The game sports unusual audiovisuals and great level design.

Plot

For ten years Alice has been dealing with catatonic schizophrenia caused by the tragic death of her parents. Now, the girl has a chance of getting back to normal life. Unfortunately, the move to London does not bring the expected relief, since the lack of any logical explanation for her parents’ demise leaves Alice restless. It seems that the best way out of this is to use the help of a hypnotist. However, a hypnosis session ends up with Alice returning to Wonderland, which, by the way, has deteriorated since the girl’s last visit.

Mechanics

Alice: Madness Returns for PC, PS3 and X360 is a third-person action game. Most of the time you explore various locations and fight all kinds of enemies. Alice can make use of many types of weapons, such as a kitchen knife or deadly cards, just to name a few. In her journey characters known from the original story of Alice accompany her.

Gameplay can be divided into platform and fighting sequences. The game also offers simple logic puzzles, which were also present in the first game (you must, for example, find the proper one out of countless doors). Some well-known locations have returned as well: the castle of the Queen of Hearts, Vale of Tears, or Fortress of Doors. Besides, at almost any moment, Alice can stop the amazing adventure and return to the real world – i.e. to a psychiatrist’s office, somewhere in the 19th-century London. Doing that gives you a chance to save the game and restore lost health. The psychiatrist’s office also serves the role of a lobby, from where Alice starts every journey into Wonderland. Interestingly, the players are free to choose their next destination, as the main story is non-linear.

Technical aspects

The game looks very nice and features an interesting art style and compelling sound design. Alice: Madness Returns for PC, PS3 and X360 features locations known from the original story, however, they were recreated in a much darker, distorted way.
