Alice Trapped in Wonderland

Enjoyed the game. I've been playing several point 'n click games recently, for some reason, and this is probably the one from this dev that I liked the best. I got this a long time ago and never got around to it but now I wish I had done so sooner. Like the couple of other games I have from this dev, the map is only partly useful. It doesn't help much if you're trying to find the quickest way from point A to point B but it can help you remember in which scene you found something or where you need to got to finish something. Also, there is too much back and forth, like in their other games, but I didn't think it was as bad as in the other games of theirs that I've played. Puzzles were not too difficult, overall, but also mostly not stupidly easy, though there are usually one or two where it takes a little thought or time to know where to go or what to do. I checked out the hints after finishing because, when I went to write my review I saw some complaints about them. I agree, while not completely useless they seemed in many cases fairly useless--they could have been worded better to give a good hint without giving too much away. I also agree with some of the comments on the poor English--there are too many instances of that in the game. The combination of the map, hints and journal all inside the inventory chest is also more cumbersome than it should be.

I really enjoyed playing this game. I liked the music and graphics and there were no glitches that I found. When I first realized what the final puzzle, or ultimate puzzle was, I was surprised because I couldn’t think what else needed to be done, until I started finding more of the pieces. I was a little impatient and used the walk-through to help me get over a few hurdles, bit only read parts because I enjoyed figuring these puzzles out. This was fun for a person like me. Kudos to the developer. I want to see how much I can do on the next one before resorting to help.

This is a game that I feel was a waste of my $1.99. The graphics were pretty good but that’s about as good as it gets. They give you hints, which you pretty much have to use to know what to do, and even then you have to find a walk-through because the clues are vague or confusing. If you use clues and the walk-through, basically cheat, the whole game can be completed in 2-3 hours, and I did that, WHILE wrangling my toddler. Also if you miss a step or a clue, then the hints can be useless. There is tons of running around back and forth and if you miss a clue, you could miss “discovering” areas of the map and not be able to use the clue the game provides. The in game map is also an unorganized jumble of discovered places. Even with the walk-through I continuously got lost trying to find what I was looking for and wasting time running around. There was also minimal story line. I feel like since I paid for the game I should keep it, but since it is already beaten and would have been very frustrating without cheating, I don’t necessarily want to keep it. I am a HUGE Alice in Wonderland fan and was looking for a cool game. This game was NOT the cool game I was looking for, and I wish I could just get my money back. 😒😡😩
