Alice Through the Fey Realm

An Alice-inspired game that takes you into a Fey realm where you complete a series of tasks for the villagers in order to return home. The game was short and simple. It's a free game so there are some gameplay issues. If you're an Alice fan, I recommend it mostly for the Alice experience.

[h3]Kids game[/h3] Written by a bunch of talented uni students, this free game is a nod to Alice in Wonderland, if you are a Lewis Carol fan, then it might tickle your funny bone. It's otherwise a very simple and short point click puzzle game. The single unique thing it does have going is a dice game in the game which is pretty good, if not for that the entire story is quite short. [h3]Unremarkable, but Free[/h3] Better than most of the stuff you can get for free. If you like stuff for free, that is also chill gaming check out some of these. https://store.steampowered.com/curator/41773079-EmpathyGames/list/93017

Alice Through the Fey Realm Positives: + Nice graphics + Ok designed mini-town + Dice roll + Items + Its free + Its short Negatives: - A lot of back and forth - Quite small town - Not a lot to see or do - A lot of uninteresting conversations to read - Framerate issues on higher settings - Quirky controls - Text sounds and music that is annoying to listen to A mixed bag this game. I liked the graphics style and mini-games, unfortunately its got irritating sounds and uninteresting conversations. But if you like these sort of games, its okay for a playthrugh. Total Score: 5/10

A free game with a beautiful town to explore while doing simple fetch quests. The world itself was easily my favorite part of the experience. I also liked the dice rolling mechanic for outcomes. It added a little bit of unpredictability.

I tend to prefer a different style of game and art style. However, I can't help but recommend the game after a playthrough. The reasons will be elaborated further in my review. The Artstyle The art style is irresistibly cute and pleasing to the eye. At no point did I find the visuals too whimsical or bothersome in any way. Instead, they seamlessly complement the setting and story. The simplicity of the artwork brings a joyful charm that enhances the overall experience, making it a delightful visual treat. The Gameplay and Storytelling I was pleasantly surprised by how the game played out. You assume the role of Alice, trapped in the enchanting Fey realm. Rather than relying on traditional stats and attributes or progressing solely through dialogue choices, your actions are determined by rolling dice. As an avid fan of Dungeons & Dragons, this unique mechanic immediately piqued my interest. Throughout the game, you can acquire various items that impact your rolls, adding layers of strategy and excitement. The decision to incorporate a Yahtzee-style dice rolling mechanic turned out to be unexpectedly enjoyable. Despite my past trauma of playing Yahtzee with family during cold winters, I found myself having a lot of fun. The gameplay is refreshing and humorous, with failure not locking you out of progress. The story continues to unfold, revealing multiple avenues and outcomes to explore, making each playthrough unique and enjoyable. The Story The narrative is a creative twist on the classic Alice in Wonderland tale. The dialogue is clear and provides straightforward instructions on how to progress. On the rare occasion that I got lost due to clicking too quickly and skipping dialogue, I could easily get back on track by checking the quest log or speaking to characters again. This thoughtful design ensures that players of all levels can enjoy the story without frustration. Conclusion I wholeheartedly recommend this game. It is a charming, short student project that offers a unique blend of gameplay and storytelling. While the dice-based mechanics may not appeal to everyone, they add a refreshing twist that sets the game apart. Players who enjoy success may find the occasional failed roll and subsequent backtracking less appealing. However, the game's primary aim is to provide a cute and entertaining story with multiple paths to the conclusion. For example, I managed to botch the cake recipe but still found my way home through the consequences of my actions. If you enjoy story-driven games with varied progression paths and are looking to pass the time with something delightful and engaging, I highly recommend giving "Alice Through the Fey Realm" a try.

The game is cute,short and free. why not give it a chance. the dialog is well written with only a few grammar errors. i came across some glitches such as quests not updating and the "bag of beans" item not working. and you cannot reload after finishing the game to make a different choice. i wish the game had new game+ so you could keep the modifier items. nothing much to say here, its a relaxing point and click experience that's easy to play
