The Rivers of Alice: Extended Version

About

The Rivers of Alice: Extended Version is a point-and-click adventure with hand-drawn visuals and a slow-burning narrative. You guide Alice through surreal dreamscapes she visits during sleep, solving puzzles to uncover fragments of her past and confront personal anxieties. The gameplay mixes inventory-based challenges with dialogue choices that subtly influence the story’s tone. Each world reflects a different aspect of her inner turmoil, blending mystery with quiet emotional beats. The extended version adds new scenes and character interactions, expanding on the original’s atmospheric strengths. Players praise the art style, vivid, whimsical, and slightly unsettling, which feels like a living sketchbook. While puzzle solutions sometimes rely on lateral thinking, the story’s emotional core lingers longer than most games in the genre. A small but dedicated community keeps discussion threads active years after release. Available on PC, Mac, and Wii U, it’s a short journey best experienced without time pressure.
