Richard & Alice

Jul 4, 2014

Richard and Alice is an extremely unique, compelling game that lovers of narrative are sure to enjoy. While those who are looking for a more action-oriented title may leave disappointed, there is a great, original story waiting for those who invest the time into the game. Some obscure tasks and hard to find objects mar the experience a little, but cannot take away much from an otherwise great game.

The story is deep, thoughtful and not at all whitewashed – which is more than can be said for the snowy world in which it takes place. This review is based on a Desura download of Richard & Alice, provided by Owl Cave.

Thankfully Richard and Alice do manage to engage, the awkward stiltedness to their early conversations naturally easing into a more flowing rapport. Neither are as a delight to read as Alice’s son Barney, however, whose perfectly captured five-year-old’s speech patterns provide both humour and heartbreaking moments of poignancy. It’s a sad tale, then, a companion piece for To The Moon and its brand of barely interactive, tear-jerking drama.
