Gameplay

1. Lulu Sidequest
   • Sidequest that involves American McGee's beloved dog, Lulu
   • In-Game Lulu Easter egg
2. Cheshire Cat
   • A helper and companion
3. White Rabbit
   • A helper and guide that naturally runs off ahead of the player, pulling the player into the environment and engaging in the story
4. Rabbit would be like the bear from Among the Sleep
5. There are several “fake” white rabbits Alice follows, leading her away from the real Rabbit/Goal.
6. Different art and music style for each stage
7. Alice collects an old time wooden cabinet tube radio which would have different stations of music playing different styles of music
   • Hatter's workshop plays heavy metal
8. Burnt objects from past life that can be used as a thrown-weapon
9. Unlockable concept art
10. Collecting skulls instead of teeth as currency to upgrade equipment
11. Alice to be put on trial for the death of her family, with references from the book about the stolen tarts
12. Have Alice sing nursery rhyme when she is idle
    • Can select which one is sung based on items found
13. A Non-Canon Stage filled with jokes and running gags from Patreon, livestreams and Discord
    • Font Lord, as the final boss of the stage maybe?
    • S.S. Greg's Junk, sailing down a river
14. World with procedurally generated exploration zones (Forests, mazes, ect) connect a fixed number of “puzzle rooms” or pre-defined set pieces. This would off Alice a chance to explore, discover, and fight in a larger sand box while also providing structure to the platform/puzzle and narrative element off the game.
15. Library inspired level (Massive stacks of books, floating books, pages as platforms, ect)
16. Inception within the library (Seeing recaps of yourself)
17. Skulls on Alice’s dresses could indicate there are enemies nearby (By glowing, screaming, catching fire, ect)
18. Stealth includes an indicator of enemy alertness (Green-Unnoticed, Red-Alert)
19. Consider putting health indicators on enemies, especially bosses.
20. Alice collects candy for power ups.
21. Caterpillar’s words are trapped in ice, free them to solve a puzzle.
22. Follow the color of the “floating” fish
23. .House of mirrors acts as the “central hub” of Wonderland, allowing Alice to travel from place to place
24. Hatter inspired funhouse area
25. A “tortured soul” character, reminiscent of the big daddies from Bioshock (Something innocent turned into a monster)
26. Chaos mode changes Wonderland i.e. opening hidden areas, making things accessible that weren't in normal mode
27. Rage or Hysteria given based on performance i.e., Rage-Good, Hysteria-Bad
    • Rage is charged as you fight
    • Hysteria builds as damage is taken, rage builds is damage is given
    • Rage modes take no damage from minor enemies, deal heavy damage, lasts a limited amount of time, must collect potion or shards to activate
    • Rage is an early power up that changes as you progress
28. Alice builds rages when the player has her do meaningless tasks or does a task incorrectly
    • Only gets angry once, to prevent spamming
29. Alice’s state of mind gives her power ups e.g., depression has a black hole power, anger like rage mode, ect
30. Use patches for power ups e.g., Cheshire patch grants invisibility dodge
    • Cheshire patch could grant Alice the “Cat scan” ability, Alice would have cat like vision and hidden objects would be revealed
31. Let players find weapons rather than “handing them” to them
32. “Giant” Alice makes a reappearance (Eat the cake again to stomp on enemies)
33. Alice “collects” emotions throughout the game
34. Power ups depend on the location/level e.g., Rage mode activated during the anger level
35. If Alice stares an an enemy too long their heads will explode
36. Alice can squish people’s heads from a distance with her fingers
37. Have elements in the game
    • Mercury as a poison element
    • Slingshot with elemental Marbles
    • Emotions as elements
38. Alice explores parts of her memories as a level.
39. Rocking horse works as a means of travel
40. Building blocks used for altering/upgrading weapons
    • Could also be used to create bridges or walls to avoid enemies
    • Limited number of blocks to avoid players skipping areas
    • Blocks collapse after a certain amount of time
41. Alice can find blank chalkboards to draw on which would materialize what she draws, this would consume the slate
    • Could be a use for the patches/symbols
42. Alice gathers pieces of materials that become her dresses
43. A pocket watch that can revert a small amount of time ex. Take too much damage, go back and try again
44. Alice has catchphrases ex. “Welcome to the club.”, “This death suits you.”
45. Alice zombie mode
46. Side quest in the Hatter's domain: collect pieces for a clock, two different outcomes
    1. Give Hatter the pieces and receive a chemical compound that can melt walls as a reward
    2. Keep the pieces and use them to upgrade Alice or her items.
47. Alice in a sky/cloud Area
48. Different modes beyond the usual “difficulty” modes
    • A “reverse” mode where you play the game backwards and the controls are backwards
    • An “inverted” mode where the game is played upside down
    • A “frenemy” mode where all your allies are now the enemies
49. Enemies get stronger the longer a battle takes, too long and the game will enter “insanity mode where enemies take no damage and everything is covered in blood
    • This could be a gladiator mini-game
50. Make Alice 3 more of a RPG, allowing Alice to choose different fighting classes ex. Stealth class, warrior class
    • Weapons work differently in each class
    • Characters interact with Alice differently based on each class
    • The end of the game has an achievement for each class
51. DLC where the White Rabbit is replaced by Lulu
52. Collectable power ups as stuff animals
    • Bear: Power
    • Rabbit: Speed
    • Hare: Super jump
    • Cat: Cat vision that finds hidden objects
    • Dormouse: Shrink and scamper
    • Lulu: Magnetic to all pick ups

Story Expand

The beginning of the game all inhabitants of Wonderland will be in denial including Alice herself Cheshire Cat would develop his markings over time A cut scene of tea time with the Hatter The ruins exist but something happens towards the end of the game to “wipe the memory.” No ruin in the beginning, it grows as the game progresses The ruin causes corruption in Wonderland, mutating the fauna and flora. Alice must find all the sources and destroy them. Shadow Alice merges into the ruin “Shadow” Alices (Or Chaos modes) merge together to create the final Shadow Alice who is the antagonist of the game (Powers that you previously used in the game are now used against you) Wonderland characters change as the game progresses (Becoming darker and more twisted like we see in the previous games) Alice earns her classic blue dress at the end of the game Hatter’s domain can include riding a teacup in a tea river, using a spoon as a paddle Tea river-jump across sugar cubes before they dissolve The train is seen in Wonderland but it is the Mock Turtle’s train before Bumby’s corruption (It should look like a toy train) Asylum inmates have circus counterparts that are forced to perform along with Alice. All of the circus performers represent some sort of mistreatment from the asylum e.g., starvation, head screws, lobotomies, leeches Some of the circus performers could look like skeletons to represent their mistreatment/ starvation in the asylum. These enemies would be weak due to malnutrition. There are circus “orderlies” working under the Tweedles-they obey every command of the Tweedles. They are sadist and enjoy to carry out the Tweedle's heinous plans. There are also good behavioral inmates who obey commands to avoid their own punishment Good behavior inmates wear colorful clothes and “smiling” masks, they can be seen doing idle tasks such as juggling or spinning signs and speak about how great the circus is (In a forced tone) but when the masks come off they complain. Well behaved inmates are not actually insane, they faked insanity to avoid harsh punishments for their crimes Could be discussed in their dialogue The good behavior inmates don’t attack Alice unless she is spotted by the Tweedles and they command the attack. Jugglers will throw things that explode at Alice and sign spinners will engage in melee combat. Circus performers that represent inmates with addiction, seen with needles stuck in them. They can be seen twitching violently and speaking to themselves. They have both means of ranged and melee attack such as pulling syringes from their bodies and throwing them at Alice, causing hallucinations. Isolated inmates could be represented by animal humanoids that are crazed, they would growl and foam at the mouth. Lobotomized inmates could be represented by vegetable humanoids. Self mutilated enemy, maybe portrayed as a voodoo doll Circus enemies with electric attacks to symbolize electroshock therapy patients Alice is forced to perform in the circus by the Tweedles. The Tweedles mocking would gain intensity throughout the bit, rising to a crescendo, causing Alice to pass out. After Alice passes out there would be a cut scene of Alice brought before sanatorium doctors “performing” her displays of madness. Alice can be seen with holes in her head from trephination Alice has a painted on smile in the circus to symbolize she was forced to take medication Add Lovecraftian to the game like the queen’s tentacles in AMR Small Alice in a big environment. Alice had witnessed different crimes in London and it affects her in Wonderland. Alice believes she has made it out of Wonderland and returned to London only for everything to catch fire and she realizes she never left. (Maybe after the defeat of the Jabberwock/Fake goal) Alice's mental state deteriorates to the point of damaging her legs where she then goes through a painful transformation into having jellyfish tentacles Possibly a jellyfish dress Dormouse and March Hare argue while driving the teapot.

Dresses Expand

Chaos Dress Switch between Chaos and Order On/Off Mode for the dress Powers like the Shrinking ability in Alice: Madness Returns, which the world will change and reveal secrets and hidden passages Changes as Alice goes into battle Harvest Dress Drops of the black slime from the Harvest dress do damage to enemies but slowly heal Alice Blackening Dress Allows Alice to disappear into shadowed areas and Alice’s attack is boosted in moon areas Inferno dress Causes enemies to catch on fire Ash dress Trail of ashes follows Alice. Creates ashes, making Alice difficult to see Could cause enemies to choke, alerting nearby enemies Standing in place would create a cloud of ashes Pleading dress Turns enemies to allies, attacking other enemies for short periods of time Bargaining dress has similar abilities to Pleading only Alice must give something in exchange for help Denial Dress Dress becomes more tattered as the player progress in the game Denial dress puts enemies in denial, mistaking Alice for friend and letting her pass by unharmed (Could also cause friendlies to attack Alice) Red Dress Ballet tiptoe throughout level Pirouette when jumping Red dress acts as a matador cape, causing large enemies to charge at Alice, taking down smaller enemies in the process Circus dress Improves Alice’s acrobatic abilities King of Planets Has a black hole effect, causing damage to enemies as they are pulled closer Supernova spin attack, does massive damage to nearby enemies Confidence dress Allows Alice to intimidate enemies, stunning them Also allows Alice to perform more daring abilities (Jump farther and higher) Depression Dress Very dull in color and looks very heavy like it's weighing Alice down. Makes Alice slower but her attacks are more deadly Chains or straps so that Alice looks trapped in the dress Tears continuously flow from her eyes Too many enemies nearby causes Alice to scream “Leave me alone!” which will force enemies back Certain enemies are weaker against certain dresses i.e. Fire over earth, water over fire, ect Dark Alice(inner self) Hysteria-like power-up Not required to switch between dresses for a specific power Runes to upgrade dress Adding the opposing runes found in certain area to allow Alice to gain defensive bonuses Collection of items/objects to craft together and/or upgrade abilities Dresses having an effect on the game itself Mercury Dress would raise gamma and give Alice cracked, bleeding skin to represent symptoms of mercury poisoning Mercury dress leaks mercury from the dress, causing damage to enemies. Mercury dress should blend into the surroundings if standing still (This would cause damage to the player) Mercury dress reacts to the temperature of the environment Liquid, short, and flowing in hot areas. Rigid and longer in cool areas Flower Dress A Flora dress with vines to slap enemies Alice would blend in, in the garden, to avoid being attacked by the flowers Forgiveness dress Candy Dress Teacup Dress Rainbow Lolita style dress

Tarot Cards Expand

Give to NPC for buffs Slot into weapons Make Alice Asylum tarot cards into an Out of the woods expansion pack. Tarot cards unlock weapons for the second play through Tarot cards work as an upgrades you collect (Each card gives your weapons an ability) Tarot cards summon help Tarot cards can be used to help Alice progress i.e., make stairs/bridges from cards, grant access to certain areas Tarot cards wands, pentacles, swords and cups give you abilities e.g., swords would cause Vorpal blades to rain down, cups can be summoned to stop flowing water

Weapons Expand

Nutcracker is defeated as an enemy before becoming a weapon Nutcracker encourages Alice and warns her of impending danger Nutcracker should shout demands to Alice like a general since he is a “soldier” Nutcracker’s nuts explode like grenades, much like the teapot cannon from AMR Weapon that can shrink your enemies to “executioner stomp” them. Russian nesting dolls act as grenades, smaller dolls have a bigger explosion Russian nesting dolls suck in enemies before exploding Weapon that betrays you? (Need clarification) A “Wawa” doll that can be wound up to explode (Much like the clockwork rabbit from AMR) A chaos chain that pulls enemies to Alice Pick-up sticks as weapons Crossbow Ball in cup weapon Ball and cup used as a wrecking ball. A large metal ball Alice can whip around quickly to smash groups of enemies. Toy carousel weapon that dazed enemies (makes them dizzy) Rapid-fire card shooting cannon Jacks and marbles work as bombs Marbles could cause enemies to tumble or roll away Vorpal blade can get huge and slice through waves of enemies Enemies drop weapon enhancements ex. Dollipede drops arms that increase grip, raising attack Weapons could have “vacuum attachments” i.e. can switch the blade of the vorpal blade

Enemies Expand

Cranky the bear explodes in a suicide bomber manner Cranky pulls itself apart to become separate enemies Cranky releases a feral scream Alice must fight the other inmates in the circus Broken toys do not attack until they’ve crawled to another broken toy and merged Fight normal toys and the defeated enemies merge together to create another enemy Creatures that hide under the grass, must watch for mounds they're hidden under. Lion Unicorn chimera Shadow versions of Alice’s family Dollhouse with the heads of her family shooting fire The Itsy Bitsy suggestions: Shoots web to slow Alice down and charges quickly at her. Change the color of the slime Make the doll face melted Drips acid instead of goo Webbing burns Alice Make the doll heads more porcelain and less flesh colored like they were in AMR Monsters lurking in the depths of the underwater levels Rocking horse enemy with blades for rockers.
