Designed with the same dark style of the original, but now featuring entirely new visuals, story and game design, Alice: Madness Returns follows Alice on a journey through a wildly corrupted and shattered Wonderland to uncover the truth behind her haunted past and tortured psyche.Īlice: Madness Returns takes place 10 years after the conclusion of the original game, with Alice struggling to recover from the emotional trauma of losing her entire family in a fatal fire. This is the follow-up to designer American McGee's twisted take on the classic Lewis Carroll tale. I believe that the red queen was actually a representation of the unconscious part of Alice's ego, the other half of herself, the yang to her yin.The Wonderland that you knew from childhood has gone horribly wrong. My theory is that Alice actually battled part of her ego which had been taken over by her id, It's a fact that there are two halves to the ego, the conscious and unconscious parts, Alice herself represented the conscious part of the ego, but at the end of the game we come face to face with the red queen, AKA Alice herself, a visual representation of the Alice we have been playing.
That was the piece that completes the puzzle.Īctually I have a theory when it comes to the id, I believe that if she really battled the id and took back control of her unconscious she would have been completely cured, however, with a sequel coming we know that that is not the case. The manifestation itself.Alice's actions. I'd like to share this amazing animation that's centered around the Mad Hatter in McGee's Alice. After defeating the Red Queen, Alice has finally let go of the overbearing guilt and is able to walk out of the asylum, finally 'cured'. Various figures in the game (The Mad Hatter, Tweedle-Dee and Tweedle-Dum etc.) represent actual people within the asylum. Essentially, she must defeat the Red Queen who represents the guilt she bears in order to set herself free. Wonderland has grown darker and more sinister due to the effect of Alice's mental state. After attempting suicide and making little progress, an unknown figure gifts her old stuffed rabbit. Ten years later, she's been committed to Rutledge Asylum because of the guilt she's developed over her parent's death. Her parents tell her to save herself and she escapes. Alice wakes up and tries to help her parents that were trapped upstairs. While asleep, Dinah knocks over an oil lamp which leaks into the fireplace, catching fire. American McGee's Alice takes place after Through the Looking Glass.
