The Rivers of Alice

About

The Rivers of Alice is a puzzle-driven adventure game with hand-crafted visuals and a focus on exploration. Developed by Delirium Studios, it tasks players with navigating a surreal world inspired by Lewis Carroll’s classic tales. The gameplay revolves around solving environmental puzzles and collecting items to progress through shifting landscapes. Its art style leans heavily into watercolor aesthetics, giving each scene a dreamlike quality. The Wii U version released in 2015 offers a touch-based interface for interacting with objects, blending traditional adventure mechanics with the console’s unique controls. The game’s strongest points are its atmospheric design and cleverly layered puzzles. While it doesn’t achieve the same polish as bigger titles in the genre, its creative world-building has earned praise from niche communities. With a Metacritic score of 72, it’s a title that resonates more with fans of indie experimentation than mainstream players. The hand-drawn art remains its standout feature, offering a visual charm that feels distinct in the adventure game space.
