Alice Madness Returns - The Asylum Even More Disturbing Than Expected

After everything seen so far, I thought that Alice Madness Returns could not surprise more, and well as usual this game shows you that you are wrong, the interior of the tower of the queen has that peculiar style of bloody and slimy interior, it reminded me a lot to the anime attack on titan thinking that had been devoured by a Titan.

I think the screenshots of the site speak for themselves, all the walls with that aspect of exposed flesh and muscles, although the strangest thing was undoubtedly that inside there were still many mouths with teeth in several places, to advance I had to destroy white hearts that looked like eyes, although they were interesting, having large jaws with teeth in a threatening way as doors was something very disturbing.

At the end I got to the queen of hearts, its design at first seemed to me something simple, a young and thin girl with black hair and very pale face as if it were a dead, but seeing that she had swollen hands and no skin made me remember to follow in a very strange level, to make it weirder seems that the throne where she sits is made of her own flesh which comes out of her long dress, at the end we left this level when she captures Alice, with a lot of bloody tentacles ...

After this level the game showed me how it can always be even more disturbing and gloomy to now be in the asylum where they had Alice, now Alice happened to wear a lunatic costume, be completely tied with the straps of clothing, head completely shaved and to complement the style of horror movie, a view marked with large dark circles that even look like blood and eyes with the sight lost, a look without any trace of sanity or longing for life.

There is never an asylum that does not have an aura of terror and in this special adventure could not be the exception, the doors, walls and floor had a dark appearance and even blood stains were all over the place.

As I progressed there were scenes of how Alice remembered the things she suffered in the asylum and undoubtedly the one that disturbed me the most was one where Alice was sitting with her eyes disoriented as if she was not conscious while she had a device in her head that according to the dialogue was to make a hole in the skull, no doubt it reminded me of movies where they show the Lobotomy and how they left people with practically no mental capacity.

Something unexpected was a scene where looking through the window of a closed room I could see a patient with long hair and what looked like a crown on his head, on a vertical bed and with his arms outstretched, a clear reference to Christ crucified. Also scenes of people walking on the ceiling, but it was the most normal thing in the whole place.

After leaving the asylum and seeing the burning house where Alice's whole family died, we reached the next level, a world based on a giant dollhouse with quite disturbing and gloomy aspects, especially the inhabitants of this area that have an even bloodier appearance than those of the previous level, enemies living dolls, strange toys decorating the place, and all this with a large size indicating that Alice is a small doll. Everything is more and more disturbing, I can't imagine how will be the end of this strange adventure of Alice.
