What players think
The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
While Alicemare excels at creating mood and narrative intrigue, it does have limitations.
Rather than leaning on jump scares or traditional horror tropes, it builds unease through mood, character interactions, and an undercurrent of darkness beneath seemingly whimsical scenarios.
Visually, the game embraces a retro pixel-art style, which complements its fairy tale themes.
Sound design further enhances the atmosphere, with gentle yet haunting music tracks and well-placed sound effects that contribute to the dreamlike tension.
I enjoyed the oldschool, 2D game design and the colour-choices as well as the character design and the riddles and puzzles in this game.
