Even though the first two games are often-forgotten indie titles, the next game has a lot going for it. McGee is keeping patrons updated with a slew of designs, which gives the game a distinctly BioShock feel, In fact, there's a lot that ties the warped Wonderland and grim underwater dystopia of Rapture.Ī post shared by American McGee horror games are everywhere right now, and with the likes of Resident Evil 7 and The Last of Us Part II breathing life into this once sidelined genre of gaming, Alice: Asylum could be one to watch. Asylum is set before the events of the original game and will presumably focus on Alice dealing with the death of her parents.
In 2015, a petition called "Let American McGee make a new Alice game" gained over 26,000 signatures.Īs Asylum is a crowdfunded affair, it means it's described as "the world's first ever crowd-designed triple-A game", meaning it's quite the feat. but something I wasn't able to fully execute on because various portions of the IP were being controlled by different parties". This was always my desire - going back to the "invention" of the franchise.
The idea is that self-publishing would open the door to a whole host of merchandise and books (and a potential movie) without having to go through the legal hoops of EA.ĭiscussing the game on his Patreon, McGee explained, "A large component of my pitch to EA revolves around the idea that the Alice license should result in the creation of tons of physical goods - collector game boxes, toys, jewelry, clothing, etc. With McGee keen to revisit Wonderland, Alice: Asylum is hopefully just around the corner. The road to Asylum has been a long one, with McGee deciding to self-publish rather than go through Electronic Arts.
