For nearly a decade, gamers have clamored for a third installment in the series that began with American McGee’s Alice (2000) and continued with Alice: Madness Returns (2011). The proposed sequel, Alice: Asylum , was meant to complete a dark trilogy, diving deeper into the psyche of a war-torn Wonderland. But in 2023, the dream was officially denied by Electronic Arts (EA), leaving the story unfinished.

American McGee’s Alice: Asylum was the proposed third chapter in the cult-classic psychological horror series. While the game was never officially developed, the "Alice: Asylum Narrative Outline" (the 400+ page PDF) serves as the definitive roadmap for the story that almost was.

She revisits the night of the house fire, peeling back layers of repressed memory.
