 Hello everybody, this is Nerdiversal, and okay, so listen, I am, and I know you've heard me rant about this game a lot of times on this channel, but I am playing Alice Madness Returns because I recently just watched the American McGee's Alice, and so I'm kind of going into this game with a different perspective, and I thought that would be interesting and fun to record specifically because I just really love playing this game, and I figured I'd play it for you guys. So also the reason that this is a continue game is because I accidentally started it, so let's hope it doesn't go back to that point, and alright, yeah, let's go. Keep in mind I will also try not to talk much during these cutscenes. Come now, Alice, it's only a dream. It's not a dream, it's a memory, and it makes me sick. Now, focus, wait, you're floating again. It's endless, a cipher, relax. Forget it, abandon that memory, it's unproductive, go to Wonderland. I'm trapped. Sergeant, this girl's bed is there, call for a doctor. She'll be alright. Discard that delusion, forget it, go to Wonderland. I'd rather not doctor, my Wonderland's shattered, it's dead to me. Your preference doesn't signify, girl, now Alice, where are you? I'm sailing with a friend, hmm, it's different somehow, things have changed. Change is good, it's the first link in the chain of forgetting. What's happened? I'm not mad. Rabbit. That's not right, what are you doing? Is something wrong? Something wrong? Don't struggle, Alice, let the new wonderland emerge. Corruption? It's killing me, Wonderland is destroyed. Forget it, miss, block that dream, waking of the sound. Better now, aren't we? My head's exploded and there's a steam hammer in my chest. Yes, well, the cost of forgetting is high. My memories make me vomit. Remember other things. I want to forget who would choose to be alone imprisoned by their broken memories. I'll set you free, Alice, memory is a curse more often than a blessing. So you've said many times and I will say again, the past must be paid for. Now, before our next session, collect those pills from our high street chemist. Very well, doctor. Now, Charlie, your power was hung for killing your ma who beat you. Let's forget that. It's so wild. The past is dead, Charlie. That starts off so wild. Just for clarification, that cutscene always gets me. I don't care how many times I've seen it. You're worse than you're. Eat it. Anyways. Only pinch me so. Thank you, Alice, for that lovely wisdom. So that cutscene right there where the rabbit's head comes off, I don't care how many times I've seen that. That is always wild to me and I can never comprehend that. I will not do that. No, thank you. Doctor, do you write? Still sick in the head? I'm past a cure. Heck yeah, your terminal. Oh, look, a baby doll. Okay, so, um, we're finally in gameplay now, but I haven't explored a lot of the Alice game itself, and everything I notice is kind of just, like, secondary. Some too. My past was consumed by fires. So I kind of want to do more exploring in this. If you guys don't like exploring, um, I'm sorry, it's like your face. Did I ask you? Guys, what's in here? Mr. Payne had no idea how home alone could be. If not for my drawings and the photographs, this could pass from my room at the asylum. No return address. I'm grateful for this memento, but I wish I could think this under. Oh, who sent her a picture of their family? Look at that. Alice is the little one. By the way, let's see what her drawings are. But this photograph of my family was delivered here by post, no message, no return address. I'm grateful for this memento, but I wish I could think this under, although there's a picture here. She's got some creepy, like, childlike drawings. Take some art classes, honey. You'll be all right. Earn your keep. Thank you. I do live in an orphanage where all of us children, tiny people, have jobs. We sure do. Your face killed your family. Is that a picture of, am I in there? Wow. The likeness captures the doctor's confidence. His dress is fastidious. Sorry. His bearing calm, just shy of classically handsome. He likely instructed the artist how to render his nose. He does have a pretty bad nose. All this bad boy area over here. So this is like, this is an orphanage, man. This is a sad orphanage where apparently they just leave doors open. Another day, a different dream perhaps. Hello, child. Oh, this dude's killing me back. I call work noble bastards. Can't come this way, love. Yeah, I can do that. No, he's so affected to build a flat on it. I do. Thank you for your lovely... Yup. Yup. Oh, I forgot to follow the cat. I think it's this way, if I remember correctly. So yeah, you're supposed to follow this white cat. Oh, yes, I would love to buy your stuff. Puss, puss, puss, puss, don't be afraid. There she goes, trotting along. Yes, I will follow her. Remember not to know you. Cat gone. What has that cat gone to? She's over here, honey. Look at that. What's over here? Yup. Elbow. Wow. Who doesn't like elephant's elbows? Even if I could just say that. This is honestly so cool, and I never really... Seems following fiery creatures into dark holes has become a habit. I hope it's not a vice. The music, or that fog. My stars and God, it's slumming again. Oh, you know it. Nurse Whitless. What luck. Twice in as many months. Out on your own. You look frazzoldere, not doing well. Not really. There is no better medicine than looking at birds. Serve consideration, don't I? Who found her new clothes? Who got her a place at Bombay's? Where'd she be without me? On the street, selling her back signed. Like some pigeons, though. She's doled out the old pound or two. But I know it's worth more than that. Kept her secret, haven't I? Hurt her say. All died on my account. I couldn't save you. I've told her my silence is for sale. Cheap. I'm a good soul, really. Not like her nanny that uppity whore. Or that lawyer fellow Radcliffe took her stupid rabbit. Need money. Wound her out, tell the corpus if she didn't make a donation to my upkeep. She yells and goes off her head. Guess she can't remember her name. What a hurt. Oh, honey, you're just exploiting that. I don't deserve nothing, you potato-nosed woman. I know it looks like it hurts. Look at their pigeons. Oh, I love you. This is actually in the art book. That's super cool. I really like that. Left trigger is... Yes, it's left trigger. It won't do anything. But that's for, like, a view of the city. Rad. Okay. So let's keep going. What's on the side of this? Oh, you can't look. Nurse Witness, do you mean to help me? To send me back to the asylum? I won't say no. I have a thirst you could food or bath. I don't need it. Need a drink. More than I would say needs water. I'll actually keep playing this game for hours, but, you know... It is. That's one thing that this game has that the first game didn't is the very pretty and, like, intricate environment. Very upsetting journey. But I'm rid of press or whatever she's become. At least the place I've landed is somewhat familiar. About time, too, Alice. Blasted cat. Don't try to bully me. I'm very much on edge. Perfect. When you're not on edge, you're taking up too much space. You're no help at all. But you know I can be. I'll frighten myself. When necessary, thanks very much. I was hoping to escape from all that. Abandon that hope. A new law reigns in this wonderland, Alice. It's very rough justice all round. We're at whisk here. You be on your guard. Yep. See, like, the first game was... It had nice, like, environments, but they didn't get as crazy detailed as this one. Like, look at that, like, snails and Jackson stuff. Also this little man right here. Actually, I think that one's a female. Anyways. That's such a strange compliment, but I appreciate it. Thank you. That's over here. Also, the way they develop tears in this one is... Hello. The way they develop tears in this one is also prettier because her hair is not, like, half blown away and, like, terrifying, you know? What do I get if I go down here? Okay, so we can't go that way. I thought there was something there, though. That was down there. So see that thing right there? Half of her hair used to be blowing. Um, and it was, it was pretty, you know, 90s graphics, man. Doesn't get much better than that. Excuse me, child. Hello. Okay, seriously, who the hell are you? Why have I never seen you before? I play this game. I don't remember you. Bet! You know who else is reckless? Okay. That's right. I said it. You know I did. I think out my dreams. This is why you're dead, mother. Sorry, that was a taste like joke. I thought it was creepy, you know? But poisonous. Sounds terrifying. I'm terrible. I've been down this road before. Good things in small packages? Though lacking a bathing costume, a plunge in that pool... Can we get her dressed, Rudy? Okay, coped out, cat. God, I'm shrinking in this potion. Should I disappear? Almost. But the upside is that while smaller, you can see things that are nearly invisible to your bigger self. Ah! I get it. Quite. Forests for the trees. Just the other way round. Short-sighted is more than a match of perspective. She's very sweet. I never realized how sweet she is, but she's kind of nice. This is the Duchess me, girly. Look how small she's become. All curled up. She's barely there. Oh, I get it. That's a reference to being young. What that was, okay. A lot of paths I've never been down in this... general area here. I thought it would just power me up like that. Big ol' snail. Honey. Oh, a tree on his back. Oh, hey, that's in the art book. This one smells so annoying, doesn't it? Look at you, big men. I love you. Can I miss you? Okay, good to tell me to go this way. Things are still okay. Don't change these on me. The big slide in Hyde Park. A pal will take you soon, Alice. Because she's talking about the big slide. That's fine, we're doing good. I say that I feel like that's where I was just at, but there's actually a wall right there. Don't particularly like what. I liked how sweet it was at first. Well, that's nice. The purple blade is swift and keen and always ready for service. My absolute favorite weapon, a wall. Even though it's not even that long range or not that cool, still my favorite. I've not come back here looking for a fight. Really? That's a pity. One's certainly looking for you. Go Snicker Snack. It leaves them dead. As seen in a previous poem. Yeah, actually. I have seen that. See, so when I was younger, I actually... Oh, God, I love that so much. I missed the purple blade. It gets quicker. Oh, she's crying blood. Anyways, when I was younger... Hold on. Flight or fight implies a permanent choice. But flight often just means putting off the fight to another day. Choose your battles wisely, Alice. When I was younger, we did this poem at school where we talked about the Jabber Walk. And that's actually what I just picked this up from. This thing. Oh. Well, that can't be good. The thing that was just here right now with the skeleton. We did a poem based on that. I think I mentioned the purple blade, but that was in third grade, so I don't really remember. Let me come see this. She's very important because I like to help her. Oh, no, now I have health. That's not good. I need more fighting to come in soon. Can't be good. It's not bad, but when you have your... When you have your purple blade here, the thing will get down. The purple blade's not even that good. It doesn't slice this grass. Roast and fever will feed monstrosity. Might have just been the branches, though. Thank you for telling me after I've already fought them. The tower's purpose is simple and immutable. Human purpose is fickle because it is a slave to memory. Memories must be strictly managed and its unproductive ones must be eliminated. While jumping, press and hold space bar to initiate Alice's float. To further extend float, press and hold space bar again while jumping. Okay, so I'm actually using... I'm using an Xbox remote, so... Okay, so... Okay, good. I think I'm actually going to end this episode here, guys. You've seen how pretty it is. We haven't gotten to the bad parts yet, but you'll see that in the next video. It's like, right now it's so pretty, so peaceful. Maybe the music isn't yet, but... Oh, let me get that first, actually. But, um... Yeah, it's gonna... It's gonna get worse, and I'm not ready for that, but I hope you guys will come in for the next episode.
