A Reflection on the Nature of Shadows
Dear Insane Children, Over the course of pre-production on Alice: Asylum we’ve frequently made reference to Shadow Alice, the arch-nemesis of Child Alice and the force of darkness threatening to destroy Wonderland. And we’ve also seen a variety of interpretations of this aspect of Alice’s character. A few of those are shared below… This burnt-face…

Beethoven? Chopin? Melancholy?
Dear Insane Children, What is your favorite piece of dark or moody classical music? As I am writing the end of the Alice: Asylum narrative, I am listening to a mix of Chopin and Beethoven – Nocturne No. 20 and Moonlight Sonata specifically.

Dear Insane Children, Normally we’d have a Live Stream tomorrow at the usual time – we try to host them every other week. But I’d like to request that we skip this one. Why? Well, Yan is taking Lucky and Grandma on a short trip to nearby Suzhou. Martin is apartment hunting. And I am…

The Depths of Memory
Dear Insane Children, Joey has turned in another beautiful illustration from the world of Alice’s imagination.

And those memories are…

Fortress of The Mind
Dear Insane Children, Did you know that once a person convinces themselves of a thing, it is nearly impossible to change their mind on that thing… even if you present them with solid evidence to prove their position is wrong? This same mental block can be seen when people cling to toxic relationships, excuse bad…

The Final Hours
Dear Insane Children, Font lord here with a super last minute reminder that there is still time to change to the $75 tier before June hits because it was pointed out to us that this is actually a crazy good time to do your first ever $75 pledge. If you are charged in June for…

Memories of Insanity
Dear Insane Children, More amazing artwork from Adam Narozanski (follow him on Instagram) from the section where Alice is exploring scenes from the past (future?) in the Memory Mines. Alex jumped in on this one and suggested the blood splatter around the screws – since that was something we featured in Alice: Madness Returns. Seeing…
