The weight of these new memories begins to tear apart what little sanity she's managed to build over the last decade of rehabilitation, and, as a result, she starts having hallucinations. Repressed memories begin to reveal themselves, and Alice realizes her family's deaths might not have been an accident at all. She now resides in Victorian London, but her parents' tragic deaths still haunt her mind. After ten years of falling deeper and deeper into madness, Alice was thrown back into a strange new Wonderland that's been warped by her growing insanity.Īlice: Madness Returns takes place eleven years after the events in the first game, and Alice has since been released from the asylum.

After losing her family in a fire, she slowly lost touch with reality and was eventually institutionalized in the Rutledge Asylum. A lot has happened since the first game blew our minds, so it's perfectly understandable if you don't quite remember every detail from this twisted and beautiful world of Cheshire Cats and Mad Hatters.

As its much-anticipated June release date draws ever closer, now is the perfect time to get caught up on everything you need to know about this maddening return down the rabbit hole. Very few sequels are over a decade in the making, but Alice: Madness Returns, the long-awaited sequel to the 2000 classic American McGee's Alice, is just that sort of title.
