- Title   / Alice mare
- Version / 1.07
- Creator / △○□× (Miwashiba)
- Tool    / WOLF RPG Editor
- Genre   / Exploration Adventure

----------------------------------------------

This is a horror-esque exploration game with a storybook/fairytale motif.
There's really only, say, a teaspoon of horror. Those not good with horror should be more or less fine.
Don't worry, there are no chases or anything like that.

There are puzzles, and there aren't any battles.
There are game overs, and seven endings in total.
You can save and load anywhere in up to 20 slots.
It's not very difficult overall.

There are scenes of bloodshed and threatening elements.
Estimated playtime is about 2 to 3 hours.

◆ Note on Black Screens <
----------

After first talking with the White Rabbit, as well as upon entering one of the endings, you are met with a black screen.
It may appear that the game has frozen. However, this is intentional on my part.

After the Rabbit, head directly up.
In the other case, there's an obstacle in the middle, so go up a little, then either left or right, then up again to trigger the event.

I deeply apologize for the confusing presentation.
