Alicemare

To be honest, it’s a very boring game, and the playtime is actually less than an hour, or maybe up to 3 hours if you’re the type who suddenly starts daydreaming or scrolling through your phone for half an hour. But I took over 5 hours just to get the Tetris achievement. Yeah, I’m that bad at this, and it’s making me doubt my intellect. The only backstory I found interesting was the Teacher’s; the rest were all boring. However, since it’s very cheap, and I know how hard it is to survive in the gaming industry (especially for a very old RPG), I’ll still click "Recommend." But in this review, I’m telling you: DO NOT buy this game at full price. Only get it if it’s on sale (or in a bundle), and only if you really want to try it yourself. The only thing I enjoyed was the BGM. [h1]Extremely NOT RECOMMENDED[/h1]

wonderful little tragic gothic dark indie game <3 love the twisted fairytales inspiration

Honestly pretty good, I was aware of Alicemare already, but after replaying LiEat I wanted more Miwashiba games, and saw Alicemare was one, so I go to play it and it's pretty good, personally I do prefer LiEat, I think LiEat deserves more attention, but this is really good too, I do think the dialogue can drag on sometimes, but that's only a personal gripe and not an indication of the quality, it's a very story based game, with some puzzles thrown in, although some puzzles can be pretty irritating at least in my experience, I still enjoyed the game overall though I do have a couple issues though, I'm aware the novel exists but a game should stand on it's own imo, I feel like the design of the real world could be a bit more streamlined, you can't enter the bathrooms, but their existence makes you think there's some significance, so every time I was there I was checking them just in case, and that'd be fine on it's own since it's right outside your room, but then there's the locked door in the kitchen, the locked door outside Teacher's room, and room 101, and spoiler, they serve 0 purpose whatsoever Maybe they're meant to give you the sense that this place is bigger than it is, but I'd really rather not have these extra rooms for no functional purpose, and for the bathroom, well everybody has to go, you never actually go in this game though, so it could be removed completely and you'd be unlikely to notice, because it's just not important to the story for there to be a bathroom (I mean I don't remember there being any bathrooms in LiEat after all), but also even just having a little bathroom available, a single unisex one, or just having the boy's room be available and not the girl's, that'd be fine, and I do think if I was able to enter it at any time I wouldn't feel like there was anything to miss there But of course these issues are very minor and don't really interfere with your experience too much, I just felt that for a review it's best to look for the areas it can be improved or falls short, overall it's just a good story driven game, although it doesn't really hand out the story to you, so if having a slightly unclear story is something you don't like maybe avoid this, but I think it's fine and an effective way to keep the game in your mind afterwards I should also add, it's fairly short, with a guide you could absolutely 100% this game within probably a bit over 30 minutes, but without a guide for the main parts it'll probably be just a couple hours, I you will probably need a guide for some parts though, be it puzzles or figuring out certain endings also you get a free tetris minigame so there's that, but it could control better tbh, and you can't spin it until it's a certain amount down from the top which can make it feels slow or clunky

Quite a good game for its price point, the story lacked at some point but I enjoyed the references with the characters and stories. It took a bit to understand what was going on and I needed to use a guide for some of the puzzles because they were quite difficult

Idk if I was just slow but I didn't get what the story was on about until like the very end but overall, the game might be quite confusing from the riddles if you're not using a guide (so I highly suggest you to follow one). Has slight horror theme but I'm in love with the credit scene music IT WAS SO SOOTHING FOR SOME REASON LOL. I managed to complete the full achievements for the game in under 4 hours with me reading all the dialogues so it's a decent playtime for me >:D [b] GUYS IF YOU'RE STRUGGLING AT THE TETRIS MINIGAME YOU CAN PRESS ENTER TO ROTATE THE BLOCKS YOU'RE WELCOME!!! [/b]

It's good, for what its worth, buy this on sale.

I love this game so much I'm gonna start crying.

good
