 Hello everybody, welcome back to another Nerdiversal video during the month of Halloween. Yes, it's a whole month. Now, today, as you can see by the title, I'm going to be playing one of my favorite games and listen, listen, listen, it's... it's ass. It's a terrible game. It's a little bit clunky, but it holds a special place in my heart. And it's creepy, so I figure why not play it for the month of Halloween and actually get to the creepy parts? I've actually played this game, like, four times already, so it's gonna be my fifth time playing it this time. And every time I play a video game, I feel like I never know what's going on and it's always an unenjoyable experience to watch me try to figure it the fuck out and be so bad at games. I'm so good at this game now. I'm so good at this game. I should be after playing it four times, but I'm pretty good. I'm pretty good at this game. And listen, if you see me not be good at this game and die multiple times to an enemy, no, you didn't. So this is my creepy game of the month. And of course, I do videos on Halloween. Last year was a little clunky. I had a job at the government and I hated it and it made me suicidal. So I didn't really do a whole lot of video making back then. But right now I'm unemployed for the next two weeks until my job kicks in. So now is the time. I'm also so fucking hopped up on caffeine. It's unbelievable. I might have a heart palpitation in the middle of this stream. I'm actually gonna be playing this on an Xbox controller too, because this game is like really fucking buggy. And if you don't play with an Xbox remote, you literally cannot get past the dodging portion of this game. And it will not let you continue the rest of the game. So without further ado, let's get it going. I'm also going to shut my fucking mouth when the cut scenes come on. So if it's silent and it's just that, that's why. Come now, Anis. 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. Waitless. A cipher. Relax. Forget it. Abandon that memory. It's unproductive. Go to Wonderland. Guard that delusion. Forget it. Go to Wonderland. Shattered. It's dead to me. Your preference doesn't signify, girl. With a friend, different somehow. Things have changed. Change is good. It's the first link in the chain of forgetting. I'm not mad. Rabbit. That's not right. What's he doing? Is something wrong? Something wrong? Wrong! Don't struggle, Alice. Let the new wonder emerge. Waking up the sound. 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. What can I... 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... 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. Ugly-ass fucking kid. Your father was hung for killing your ma who beat you. Sorry, that's not funny. He's just so blunt with it. OK, so I'm going to try and spoil this game as little as possible. Fuck you, kids. OK, so first we got to go to the fucking high street chemist. I'm going the wrong way already. I said I was good at this game, but listen, I'm still stupid. The illustrated news feeds an insatiable appetite for domestic mayhem and industrial disaster. Fire at match factory. Six girls missing. Is there anything more predictable? The world's gone quite mad. So this takes place in like industrial England. No, I hate first-person mode. 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 thank the sender. I still have no idea who sent that to her either. Like, that's never explained, and I don't know if she has anybody nice enough in her life to actually do anything. And then here's all her fucking creepy drawings. I do have the art book too, so there's like extra details. I know that anything you see in here ends up translated into Wonderland, so that's cool. Hello, Puss. Puss, puss, puss, puss. Don't be afraid. All right, let's go. Seems following fiery creatures into dark holes has become a habit. I hope it's not a vice. Alice stands for all the weird girls around the world. Slummin' again, are we? Nice witless. What luck. Twice in as many months. Out on your own. You look frazzoldere. Not doing well? Not really. Come along home then and look at my pigeons. Pretty birds, like you. I don't think so. Our last visit cost me several pounds and got me nowhere. Fucking scammer, old lady. I know the car where you're named, your rabbit, got... Ooh, suspicious. Still amazed. No surprise. Her kin roasted like chestnuts right before her eyes. Ten years in Rutledge, asylum, wasted everyone's time. Dr. Bumby wouldn't do better. Still hauling out her questions. The fire, her memory. I deserve consideration, don't I? Her found her her new clothes. Who got her a place at Bumby's? Where'd she be without me? On the street, selling her backside. Oh, like some pigeons though. She's stalled out the old pound or two. I know it's worth more than that. Kept her secret, haven't I? Hurt her say. Oh, died on my account. I couldn't save you. I've told her my silence is for sale. She... I'm a good soul, really. Not like her nanny that. I'll put you whore. Well, that one fellow rabbit took a stupid rabbit. Need money. Wound her out, tell the corpus if she didn't make a donation to my apkee. She yells and goes off her head. Guess she can't remember her name. What I heard. So yeah, if you guys... I mean, if you guys didn't know already, her family died in a fire and that's kind of what this whole game is about. So the first Alice game is kind of just her working through the trauma, I believe, of her doing that and like her Wonderland's already fucked up right there. And then it kind of just happens again in this one, but like with a new enemy. This is why this game is getting played during Halloween month. Ultimate magical girl transformation. Oh shit. I still have my fucking dress from the... Okay, I'm gonna have to change that to default dress. For now, we're gonna play with this one because I don't think I can turn it off until the next one, so we're just gonna play with the siren dress. Lasted cat. Don't try to bully me. I'm very much on edge. 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. It always is. This game is so fucking pretty. I just want to take a moment to just like look at it. Wow. Aren't you stunning? So I actually just watched the Alice in Wonderland, the Tim Burton one. And I feel like Tim Burton was essentially just trying to do what this game did. Like this game did the whole like dark goth Alice so perfectly and I think Tim Burton was going for that and kind of missed the mark a little bit. But what I did notice when I was watching the Alice in Wonderland from Tim Burton and the old cartoon is just how much this game actually takes from the original source material. Which is like it's so far removed it almost doesn't feel like the original source material. There she is. Get back here. But yeah, this is actually like the first form of Alice media that I've ever consumed. So then when I consumed all the other forms of Alice media I was like this kind of goes crazy. I'm literally wearing my bathing costume right now on accident though. I'm surprised I kept the dresses from my other save file. You can see things that are nearly invisible to your bigger self. So true. I don't know what the fuck they're saying half the time in this game. They speak in British riddles and I don't really know what any of it means. Aw. Was that him knowing me before I got bigger? Because he my doctor before I went crazy and like my family died. It's my first two teeth everybody! Woo! See that little timer used to scare me because I knew enemies were coming but like I'm so goaded at this game. Oh I got a house. Where are you? Where are you? There we go. I never realized until I played this game a couple times but all of those all of those sayings right there usually come around the time that you're about to do something. So like she just talked about the slide and now I'm on a slide. Listen. Again, I never said I was smart. I just said I was good at the game. Also these are like my favorite levels. I don't know. Slides in video games just make my brain go burr. Aw. Yeah. Alright. There it goes. See like here's one of the parts that is kind of going to tie into like the original Alice is when you kill the Jabberwocky and the first game I believe too. Really? That's a pity. One's certainly looking for you. That's foreshadowing and I never realized and I believe even the first game is when you actually fight the Jabberwocky and also that looks fucking crazy. Man that's so true. No what do you do baby? Are you little baby this angry? Aw. Come here bitch. I'm too good. I'm too good. I'm too gooded. Not that that's the easiest enemy in the game like no that's not that's not the case at all. Oh what the fuck? You can hear the kids fucking running around this level already. Those are going to come into play a lot more importantly later which is when the game gets like really creepy. The last level of this game is so fucking creepy. I actually like it gives me the heebie-jeebies. The biggest boss in here I think it's the colossal ruin. Yeah still scares the shit out of me even to this day. Also since I'm kind of just playing through the story of this I'm probably not going to try and get as many of the collectibles as I am on my other save file so if you want that I would recommend watching an IGN tutorial which is where I kind of had to look like find the very secretive ones. I'm actually going to try and get through this first part as quick as possible just because it's not very Halloweeny you know it's very pretty right here and there's like creepy music but I don't know also maybe it's because I've played this game so much that it's like the scare factor has kind of lost itself on me from when I was like 12. Do not get me wrong though again I still very much love this game and it has a very special place in my heart. American McGee new game challenge. Yes well you taught me manners and I've lost my taste for mad women strictly a poor thine diet for me. Everything's better with bacon don't you agree of course you do. Now there are big snouts scattered about I heard a few behind the house go fetch them for me but take care of the pests that block your way pepper them up if they do they need spice and you're just the dear girl to season them for me you'll find that grinder serviceable why not season your own pickpots. Matter of priorities my alabaster skin needs protection for disgusting creatures running amok amidst the environs but one gets peckish look all you have to do is listen for the oink then shoot the snout you may like the results I certainly will. So yeah in the first game you fight her so now she's cool and she's giving us our first projectile weapon let's go I hate these fucking flies me and my homies hate these fucking flies man ah fuck I forgot the fucking pepper grinder doesn't go that far when you're in the beginning of the game see the thing is is I kind of lack coordination in real life and so also end in video games so I kind of actually prefer not to use projectiles I did get kind of good at using this one it's still not the best I heard some fucking squishies over here some squelching there you are I remember when I actually learned to use projectiles in video games though that shit was like eye opening I was like oh my god I don't even need to stand next to them to kill them it's kind of crazy main priority collecting teeth I need to upgrade my weapons all of the time man I love the creative direction of this game and I feel like the Alice in Wonderland premise gives you a lot to work with in terms of creativity and things that just like make no sense which is kind of why I love this game it just it has a good base and then does really well with that base consistently I will go there right now I just see teeth behind me thanks so much I will say though as beautiful as this game is it's a little bit tedious with it's level design like the same things just kind of happen over and over and over again also the closer holes in this game are kind of fucking awful you will dodge in a completely different direction although that could just be the fact that I'm like this is the game I'm best at and still I'm not very good at it still more enemies I believe there is an entrance way over here no there's not I think there is some kind of keyhole over here though over there give me that fucking bottle I wonder if there's mods for this game I've actually never checked you'd think I get tired of playing the same game over and over again I kind of don't it's my comfort game I keep getting the controls mixed up because I'm so used to playing Animal Crossing on the switch I mean they don't act the same I'm just used to I mean Animal Crossing is not Alice Mattis Returns but I am used to switch controls oh alright well the game is officially gone to hell how the fuck do I get up there I for gore oh ok there we go why why why I have triple jump game makes me want to KMS oh god we're gonna get that memory though oh I'm fucking an idiot oh my god alright ok yeah 3 points for intelligence level by that I mean negative 3 puntos negativos the fucking kid again oh I hate how ugly she sounds now in this part of it like she's starting to get creepier alright easy money read this as if your life depended on it because it does gather these pearly wights to prevent your premature arrival before the pearly gates my friends can use the choppers and you'll improve your weapons capacity yes finally yeah fuck yeah let's upgrade that guy I almost like when I played the last time I wanted to save enough money so that I could just upgrade all of my shit at the same time which is actually kind of fun just watching the cards just keep going going holy hell the trains fucked up I don't remember if I fight the colossal ruin in this part I think I do that's not scary at all what the fuck is stepping on me hello little gremlin men alright come on let's go too easy ah fuck they're not even dead sometimes you can be right next to an enemy and it doesn't even hit them girl I've been I've been dodging come on come on ah get fucked dumb idiot ah get fucked see they just don't even know that I'm the protagonist of this story they also don't know that I set my game to easy mode so and there goes the kid I actually didn't even realize until now that I had been following her this whole time I don't know who any of those people are I don't know who Mr. Cook, Mr. Dickens are if any of you know Alice Lore can you tell me in the comments below if that's like part of Alice or if any of this game I'm missing that I don't know about is part of Alice like the original lore this isn't my favorite thing to just sit and look at for a second wow Jesus this has got to be one of the most hauntingly beautiful part of the games like it's just in the middle of fucking space just floating like oh my god okay let's go imagine you're just in wonderland and you hear that horrifying fucking noise and you're like oh somebody needs the cable car like it just sounds like Armageddon every single time somebody needs to take a cable car I'm bad and good making friends Alice you're as randomly lethal and entirely confused as you ever were I've managed without you so far but return to whatever hovels home to you are called if I need you predictably rash it's not a question of if Alice it's way now hold on and as they say so typical oh yes there we go the actual costume dress I suppose I must be grateful nothing's broken okay so this level itself is kind of long so I'm going to break it up into two parts from veil of tears to hatter's domain so I'm going to end the video right here but I do plan on playing more of this throughout the month of halloween hopefully a little bit faster if I can get it out but I hope you guys like this video and I hope you guys come back for more halloween spooky scary themed content alright I will see you guys later love you guys bye
