Alice Escaped!
■ About
Alice Escaped is a 2D action and exploration game. Follow the advenctures of the two girls Usada and Kotora who wander into a strange world of grimoires, chasing after “Alice”.
What awaits them there are mysterious characters based off of Alice in Wonderland: the Cheshire Cat, the Mad Hatter, and Humpty Dumpty – but are they really the enemy? And why does the White Rabbit guiding them have a zipper on his back?
Finally, who is the enigmatic girl hiding Alice in the deepest part of the world? Just why do they find themselves trapped inside, and– Oh, you’ll need to find out the rest for yourself!
■ Battle Action
The key to this game is the stylish tag team battle system! Swing Usada’s giant hammer to pulverize your enemies with powerful melee attacks, or use Kotora’s submachine gun and bombs to take enemies out from a distance. Switch between the two to chain impressive combos!
Taking out enemies builts up your Chance Gauge, which can be used to perform supporting attacks and devastating ultimate attacks. (feature not included in the demo)
The intensity builds in boss fights: whittle down their shield gauge to break their shields, letting you unleash a flurry of attacks. But beware – they’ve got a variety of powerful attacks to hit you back!

■ Story
One summer’s day, Usada and Kotora go to the library to do their homework. Kotora seriously gets to her studies, but Usagi has her head up in the clouds. She wanders over to a bookshed deep inside, and brings back a big, thick book.
“I found this interesting looking book!”

“Look for Alice.”
As soon as they read the words, the two are enveloped in a blinding light.

Story Review
Plummeting down at sonic speeds towards the ground and saving myself from becoming a splattering heap of blood, my first moments of this new and strange world were quite horrifying. It was strange that despite my near death experience I couldn’t help but feel that these lands felt promising in being a tranquil place to live the rest of my life. Unsure of what was to become of me…
The world looked incredibly strange, full of triangle shaped forms, from the trees,caves and sculptures down to the animals themselves. Unsure of my surroundings I had to familiarize myself with what would be useful. Finding red triangles I noticed made me healthier while the blue triangles when gathered enough saved my life. Funny how these items were of similar shape and resemblance to my environment. Forming together a sort of harmony.

Bad animals - rabbit
Started as a rabbit. Explored my way through amazing voice effects and bouncy surfaces, experienced fear of the evil dog, till I finally found a way to exploit double jump skill into 10-times jump. I became a super-rabbit, flying through the world, figuring out the tragedic backstory of the world and about its recent events. I found end of the rainbow, fell through the world for a time that felt like eternity, screwed up the game saves, lost all progress.
Being a rabbit is badass.
