American McGee is still plugging away to get a third Alice game off the ground. And while that still revolves around EA’s final say, the latest news from American’s Patreon has a little treat for fans in the form of the full narrative outline for Alice: Asylum.
“The narrative contained within is still very much a Work In Progress,” explains McGee, who immediately states that there are heavy spoilers in the document, so those curious about the pitch should proceed with caution.
Apart from some final editing, the idea for this outline is to drive the production of the game’s Design Bible. McGee cautions that the outline is not final, but rather the “minimum amount required to convey the main story.” After things have been finalized, then the work to flesh out dialogue, locations and scenarios begins.
In case you’re wondering, American has been at it with this third Alice game since 2017, and has been enlisting support from fans in order to build up a proposal to try and sway EA. It’s no guarantee, but we never thought we’d see another Dead Space game, did we?
