If many of you only thought Alice: Madness Returns was only limited to the consoles, well you will be surprised by this information. The game will be an Ebook app coming soon so you don’t only get to play the game, but read the interesting story on your ebook readers. The American McGee story will be hitting the app stores soon and the ebook will bridge the gap between the first game and the sequel. I like this idea, it will give gamers and basically anyone interested in American McGee’s story for Alice a more in-depth look to her story. The information is coming from PadWorx and EA so please enjoy the extended information:
Designed to bridge the gap between games American McGee’s Alice and Alice: Madness Returns, the storybook app introduces readers to the world of Alice as imagined by acclaimed game designer American McGee, recapping the events, characters, and environments from the first game while setting the stage for the visionary world of Alice: Madness Returns.
“It was an amazing experience for us to work with EA and American McGee’s company Spicy Horse on such an intensely realized project,” said Jeffery Alan Schechter, Creative Director and President of PadWorx Digital Media, Inc. “American McGee’s Alice is a legendary title in the game industry, and just being mentioned in the same breath is a real honor.”
“We needed a partner who could bring the incredible story and styling of Alice: Madness Returns to life, we wanted to set the bar for what a free interactive storybook experience could be, and we needed it done fast,” said Ben Swanson, Online Marketing Manager at EA. “PadWorx stepped up and not only delivered a beautifully intense book in record time – just six weeks – they also simultaneously developed the book for iOS, Android, and even a Flash version that’s playable from inside our Facebook page. These guys are rock stars!”
PadWorx Digital Media, Inc., a leading developer of interactive, immersive eBooks for tablet devices, worked closely with game developer Spicy Horse to create what has been described as the most intense reading experience ever on a mobile device. Rated 17+ by iTunes, the Alice: Madness Returns Storybook is a free download and is both a prequel and a companion to the upcoming EA game Alice: Madness Returns.
