News: Alice - Madness Returns


American McGee's Alice was a trippy, freakish take on the well-loved classic, and if people thought Tim Burton's 2010 reboot was psychedelic, they've not played McGee's game. And now the sequel Madness Returns is on its way out in 2011 promising to be darker, more horrific, and sexier than ever.

Crazy people sure have all the fun. You can watch the teaser trailer, read the official press release and gander at some juicy shots when you jump down the rabbit hole.

Eleven years ago a horrific fire took Alice’s family from her and left her terribly burned—and her mind terribly scarred. Afterwards she was confined to Rutledge Asylum, struggling to come to terms with her demons by slipping into her fantasy world of Wonderland. Now, after ten years, she has finally secured her release--yet she still bears the heavy psychological burden of that tragic event.

In Alice: Madness Returns, Alice is released from the asylum to a London psychiatrist’s care. As nightmarish hallucinations continue to haunt her and invade her reality, she seeks to understand her torment in order to recover herself. Her mind in tatters, she is unable to resolve the fear and neuroses prompted by her strange memories, dreams, and visions. Her relocation to London seems only to add to their number and intensity.

Perhaps she’ll do better in Wonderland. She always has. She travels there, seeking what the “real” world can’t provide: security, knowledge, and the truth about the past. But in her absence, Wonderland too has suffered. Something has gone horribly wrong, and now a great evil is descending upon what once was her beautiful refuge.

Can Alice save Wonderland—and herself—from the madness that consumes them both?

Now for some concept art and screenshots:
