Trianthology: Sanmenkyou no Kuni no Alice

About

This visual novel from 07th Expansion follows a witch named Alice who jumps between three wildly different scenarios to cure her boredom. Each route, a rural girl’s coming-of-age tale, a high school romance, and a sci-fi mystery, plays out as a standalone story with its own cast and tone. Players loop through these worlds, uncovering fragmented clues about Alice’s origins and the reason these realities overlap. The structure leans heavily on repetition and gradual reveals, requiring multiple playthroughs to piece together the full narrative. The game’s reputation hinges on its polarizing blend of cryptic storytelling and atmospheric pacing. While some praise its layered mystery and haunting themes, others find the deliberate slowness and abstract dialogue frustrating. It released to mixed but curious reviews, with a 68 on Metacritic. Fans of 07th Expansion’s other work, like D4CK, might recognize the studio’s signature style here, though this project feels more experimental. The three routes vary in quality and engagement, but the promise of a cohesive ending after multiple cycles keeps many players invested.

Storyline

When three worlds become one, Alice will awaken. Once you have cycled through the three completely different worlds until the very end, you will find out "Alice's Truth."
