Finally got the game to work on Windows 11, so let's have a thread about it.

>2011 remaster (used to be available as a pre-order bonus for Alice 2, so if you missed out you can find it on the usual website)
>VorpalFix off of github, drag and drop where the exe file is
>Open up VorpalFix dot ini and change the settings as you desire
>Boot the game and go into the main menu options, you can change even more settings in the new VorpalFix submenu

Works great as far as I can tell, though my mouse remains way too sensitive because it's a modern gamer mouse with 10,000DPI and 1000Hz polling.

The gamplay is
But the atmosphere and especially the music is fantastic. If you're not into the whole late 90s/early 00s goth thing you won't like it

A child rape victim as the main character is a bit on the tasteless side for me
>>
>>11448532
Isn't that only in the non-retro sequel? I haven't played the original in a long time but I don't remember this being mentioned in it
>>
>>11448532
I can't speak for myself but I imagine it's better for victims of child tape to be represented as protagonists instead of than keeping them invisible
>>
Really takes me back to reading PC mags on the bus to 6th grade. Seeing Alice ads right next to Deus Ex ads. I thought the art in Alice looked so cool (I like edgy junk) then forgot about it for years. It doesn't look like a good game from google images, there's a lot of promotional art and not many of gameplay shots.
>>
>>11448502
I really liked the gameplay honestly. Sure it's clunky but it's got some stellar level design. I particularly like how they integrated the "mindfuck" segments into actual gameplay, rather than have them just be trippy visual effects, something the sequel never managed to do.
>>
>>11448532
There is none of that in the original game. Alice lost her family in a house fire she was the only survivor, that is the source of her mental anguish.
>>
>>
I can't even tell if this plays better with a controller or kbm
>>
>>11448120
i liked it and the artstyle when it released
didnt have a way to play it properly until 2009 or so

its worth checking out for the visuals
but falls short w\ the "gameplay"
if you are a shitter at vidya, skip

watch a playthrough or most of one though
american mcgee was the tits
>>
>>11449741
It uses so few inputs you can in fact play it just fine on controller, but on hard you'll need to land knife headshots a lot early on.
>>
VorpalFix is really amazing btw, some dedicated modder fixed virtually all of the issues with the game.
Get the game here:
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=645862676
Get the mod here:
https://github.com/Wemino/VorpalFix
Also, he's still releasing updates, if you have some autistic issue with the game, report it on github and he'll likely fix it. He's a coding wizard.

>>11448532
It was her sister, hence the fire. Although, this was all explained only in the sequel. Alice herself being gradually mindbroken into child prostitution was very tasteless though, yes.

>>11449741
It's a third person shooter on the Quake 3 engine, what do you think? There wasn't even controller support until the remaster and the console ports.
>>
>>11450108
Forgot to mention, the Steam guide tells you how to integrate this remaster into Alice Madness Returns, but you don't have to do it, just extract it literally anywhere and apply the mod. It's the full game.
>>
>>11450092
>>11449741
i played it to completion on PS3 since it was included with the sequel and it was fine,the trick to land jump more easily is to use the aim so that it shows two feets on the ground and when you jump without inputting direction Alice will land where the aim is at the ground.

Honestly it's as much to listening to a music video by TOOBOE.
The lyrics and visuals makes you turn but you just set it on repeat. It feels indulgent and grim, but makes the material enjoyable either way.

I got my copy to work on a Silicon Mac. The game has to be one of the most soulful games ever made, even though its made in the Quake III engine.
>>
>>11448120
That's pretty cool. I had been posting links for fixed up versions for a while. This seems a lot better for the remaster though.

>Fix the random sound selection function. (e.g., Cheshire Cat summon, Vorpal Blade hit sounds and much more)
I had noticed odd and different sound effects sometimes in the remaster which made me not like it, I wonder if this fixes what I had noticed.

>my mouse remains way too sensitive
VorpalFix restores console so you should be able to set sensitivity as low as you want. You should be able to do less than 1 through console to fine tune it that way.

>seta cg_camerascale "1"
>cg_camerascale "1"
I don't see VorpalFix mentioning it but you probably want to use console or set it in the autoexec.cfg to run these commands otherwise there's a bit of smoothing/delay to mouse movement.

One of my cousins (female) played the shit out of this game back in the 00's.

Whatever they were going for with Alice, which never interested me, they got something right.

How the remasters?
>>
>>11458097
It's the same game with a bit of polish, really. They added a day/night cycle that makes the latter game way too dark without a torch (which, admittedly, is very cool to look at it) which is prohibitively annoying and I personally think some of the new models look WORSE (Zephon's minions look like they're wearing jeans). If you have access to the tarted up PC ports you're gaining NOTHING except achievements.

Wanted to buy the games on steam but decided no due to EA launcher. There was a thread on /v/ that I can no longer find with some other ways to play. Anyone got the links?

>Wanted to buy the games
McGee has given us his blessing to pirate the games since he makes no money from them.
>>
>>11448131
It's an insipid game. It has too much story and lore for a platformer, too little story and lore for an adventure game, too little specialization for an RPG, too little variety in gameplay for an action platformer, etc. The games are brainless jank.

>>11462808

There is no EA launcher in Alice Madness Returns.
