Recordkeeping: Tim Burton's Disney's Alice In Wonderland INCOMPLETE

[xyzzysqrl]

Well, this was exactly my jam. A handsome white rabbit with time-control powers? A frazzled frizzled March Hare with barely-contained telekinetic might? A whirlwind of a dormouse fighting with a pin-sword, in a frilly dress? A Mad Hatter who uses MC Escher-esqe "perspective" puzzles to rearrange the landscape?

All very hell yes. I was very much enjoying this!

And then I hit a bug. There's a bit where Alice eats a bit too large a slice of cake and grows huge. You have to get some Drink Me to restore her to normal size. Unfortunately, she drinks too much of it and ends up too small to open the door out of the area.

This is a bug. Video of the Wii version shows her at normal size, and the Steam forums confirm that this is a glitch solvable only with a save file from the internet. All the links to the save file are broken. I cannot complete this game.

I'll leave it installed in case someone else comes up with a solve, but uh... that's a perfectly Wonderlandian way to fail to finish isn't it?

That sounds far more honestly creative than the actual movie it was based on was. I can't imagine it had less unnessissary angst and drama-for-drama's-sake though, but I guess American McGee proved that can work in a video game, so whynot?

It really is. :D
