So my brother and I have been trying a kind of meh game called “Lost Alice”. The premise is that your character falls into Wonderland. She’s lost all her memories and everyone recognizes her and refers to her as Alice. Except there’s a very strong implication that there’s a *pattern* of this happening, and something more ominous is going on, and everyone’s just required to act this out repeatedly for some reason. All the love interests (Knave of Hearts, Mad Hatter, Cheshire Cat) have assigned roles in relation to you that they have to break for the romance to advance.

Anyway, one of the running plot points in all the storylines is getting people to call you your character name instead of “Alice.”

So my brother named his character “Mecha-Alice”.

What results is absolutely the most entertaining form this game could ever possibly take, as your character repeatedly says things like:

“I don’t really feel like an Alice. I feel more like… Mecha-Alice.”
“For some reason I felt really happy hearing him call me Mecha-Alice.”
“You won’t defeat me! And my name is NOT Alice. I am… MECHA-ALICE.”

It’s fantastic.
