Description
With regards to the story,
American McGee's Alice is a direct sequel to Lewis Carroll's famous book
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. The story begins with Alice's parents dying in a house fire, and Alice taking the blame for it. After repeated attempts at suicide, she gets locked up inside a mental institution and is slowly wasting away there before she is summoned to Wonderland again by the White Rabbit. But this time it's a Wonderland gone seriously bad and gory. The only chance for Alice to restore her piece of mind and find out more about the death of her parents is to fight through Wonderland and free it from the evil powers.
The game is an interactive horror game, but unlike games such as
Out Of This World, and
Resident Evil, you interact with the madness as Alice tries to escape the demented surroundings of her own fantasy world that she's been thrust into. Concerning the gameplay, a classic 3D action adventure with a female heroine is offered, much like
Tomb Raider. Alice fights, jumps and runs her mostly linear way through environments that can best be described as surreal.

According to an interview with American McGee, Alice sold over 1 million copies on the PC platform alone, contrary to reports saying it sold poorly. A PS2 version was also in development but was canceled causing Rouge Entertainment to shut down, a decision which infuriated American McGee.
