Hardcore GamerMarcus EstradaJun 20144/5The strongest aspect of Richard & Alice is how it manages to tell an engaging story in a fairly compact amount of time. Although players start out as total strangers to the duo, they find themselves quickly interested by their plight.

GameGrinBrandon RichardsJul 20148.5/10Richard and Alice is an extremely unique, compelling game that lovers of narrative are sure to enjoy. While those who are looking for a more action-oriented title may leave disappointed, there is a great, original story waiting for those who invest the time into the game. Some obscure tasks and hard to find objects mar the experience a little, but cannot take away much from an otherwise great game.
