Alice VR doesn’t have the most engaging puzzles, and its slow pace may be off-putting to some, but this VR ‘walking simulator’ through a sci-fi re-imagining of Wonderland is a beautiful, trippy and clever experience.

Overview
Alice VR is an adventure sci-fi game exploring the power of virtual reality. An unexpected malfunction forces your ship’s AI to wake you from the cryo sleep. You have to make an emergency landing on an alien planet and your goal there is simple: find or purchase fuel and escape. This straightforward task gets complicated when you realize that all of the planet’s citizens had disappeared in mysterious circumstances. The player has to deal with a series of puzzles, designed specifically for VR, and make decisions that will ultimately lead to the truth about the planet and its secrets. The future is in the player’s hands.

The fact that there are a number of quirks still to work out with this kind of title is not really a surprise. This is a new medium; the early adopters are jumping on a virtual reality journey that will take many years to realise its full potential. That said, developers have a responsibility to do everything they can to make the experience as smooth...
It’s not perfect, but this game fills a niche in the VR market with its entrancing environments and fun take on a compulsive literary tale. Alice VR is best experienced with a set of goggles, but it’s a great experience for anyone.
