Description
Richard and Alice are prisoners. Both their cells have a leather sofa and a state-of-the-art computer. But only Richard’s has a TV.

Outside, the snow falls. It has done for some time. Elsewhere, they say, parts of the world have been rendered an inhospitable desert, the earth parched and cracked. People live in the zones now. The lucky ones, anyway.

Richard and Alice have secrets.

Created by Lewis Denby and Ashton Raze, whose games journalism credits include the likes of Eurogamer, Gamespot and the Telegraph, Richard & Alice is a riveting mystery story about family, desperation and the weather – all set to the beat of an indie adventure game.

  • Strong focus on storytelling, with believable characters whose pasts and personalities you can explore.
  • A unique and atmospheric world, shrouded in mysteries that are begging to be solved.
  • Created by writers whose games journalism work has appeared at Eurogamer, Gamespot, and the Telegraph.

Does not outstay its welcome.

"Richard & Alice" is a grim story that does not outstay its welcome. The game masterfully sets the expectations of things getting even worse, and, while being emotionally heavy, motivates the player to push onward. The game loop is typical for point and click adventures, and the puzzles are simple.

A lot of Story, no typical Point+Click

As a fan of adventure-classics (DOTT, Simon, Sam&Max, MonkeyIsland) I was a bit disappointed - I should be more focused on the description before buying further games > The story is sad and the game was not what I expected. * not many puzzles * much more dialogues - was interesting at first, but at the second half made me skip through * Some twists were predictable. * If you like that kind of story (sad, horror-elements, apocalypse) and gameplay, you will get a great game with a few different endings. * One playthrough is enough for me. (I'm a great fan of Disco Elysium, so maybe I'm biased - with storytelling and development of characters.)

Adventure done wrong

There is little to like in Richard & Alice. I felt like playing another adventure "game," and this one ended up representing everything I hate about the genre.The graphics and animation are terrible, the characters are expressionless (literally; you only get the one image of them. In a genre where everything relies on your connection with the characters, this is inexcusable), the "puzzles" are meaningless game length padding, and the story was uninteresting. There's also a glitch. My character was frozen at one point and I had to load an autosave. I'm torn on the adventure genre. I like my games to be games, but there are incredible adventure "games" out there (Phoenix Wright, To The Moon). This game is not worth paying for at all, and therefore I can't give it more than one star.

What is this? I don't even...

I guess I've seen enought better RPGs with RPG Maker than this and for free? I don't know. But the graphics are a bit nasty if you ask me. And 6 bucks is a bit much. Oh, well...
