Alicemare Reviews

It's good, for what its worth, buy this on sale.

Honestly pretty good, I was aware of Alicemare already, but after replaying LiEat I wanted more Miwashiba games, and saw Alicemare was one, so I go to play it and it's pretty good, personally I do prefer LiEat, I think LiEat deserves more attention, but this is really good too, I do think the dialogue can drag on sometimes, but that's only a personal gripe and not an indication of the quality, it's a very story based game, with some puzzles thrown in, although some puzzles can be pretty irritating at least in my experience, I still enjoyed the game overall though I do have a couple issues though, I'm aware the novel exists but a game should stand on it's own imo, I feel like the design of the real world could be a bit more streamlined, you can't enter the bathrooms, but their existence makes you think there's some significance, so every time I was there I was checking them just in case, and that'd be fine on it's own since it's right outside your room, but then there's the locked door in the kitchen, the locked door outside Teacher's room, and room 101, and spoiler, they serve 0 purpose whatsoever Maybe they're meant to give you the sense that this place is bigger than it is, but I'd really rather not have these extra rooms for no functional purpose, and for the bathroom, well everybody has to go, you never actually go in this game though, so it could be removed completely and you'd be unlikely to notice, because it's just not important to the story for there to be a bathroom (I mean I don't remember there being any bathrooms in LiEat after all), but also even just having a little bathroom available, a single unisex one, or just having the boy's room be available and not the girl's, that'd be fine, and I do think if I was able to enter it at any time I wouldn't feel like there was anything to miss there But of course these issues are very minor and don't really interfere with your experience too much, I just felt that for a review it's best to look for the areas it can be improved or falls short, overall it's just a good story driven game, although it doesn't really hand out the story to you, so if having a slightly unclear story is something you don't like maybe avoid this, but I think it's fine and an effective way to keep the game in your mind afterwards I should also add, it's fairly short, with a guide you could absolutely 100% this game within probably a bit over 30 minutes, but without a guide for the main parts it'll probably be just a couple hours, I you will probably need a guide for some parts though, be it puzzles or figuring out certain endings also you get a free tetris minigame so there's that, but it could control better tbh, and you can't spin it until it's a certain amount down from the top which can make it feels slow or clunky

wonderful little tragic gothic dark indie game <3 love the twisted fairytales inspiration

Adorable little game, childhood classic that i didn't realize was on steam and got hit with a wave of nostalgia C: It isn't perfect and has it's flaws but to me Alice Mare is perfect. I think it might be Miwashiba's first game? So again don't really care about the flaws. It's too cute and charming for me to ever criticize hehe.
