It's been more than a decade since Alice: The Madness Returns, the latest installment of the Alice franchise was published, and its creator American McGee is doing his best to revive the series.
The history of the dark action-platformer series is nothing short of bizarre, even in an industry full of canceled projects that later get resurrected and then canceled again for no reason.
With two successful installments under his belt in 2000 and 2011, nobody doubts McGee's passion for the project. But, the funding and support have been the main obstacles, especially after 2016 when Spicy Horse, the studio responsible for the first two iterations of the game, shut down.
American McGree is hoping to change this after releasing the first draft of a successfully crowdfunded script two years ago. With 3,192 paying Patreon members backing him up at the time of writing, the project is starting to gain traction. He's now released a 414-page design bible that should be the basis for the new project, announced a new partnered studio, and a simple request to Electronic Arts - let him make the threequel.
