| Deleted User | I don't have any idea what the game about but right now I'm reading the reviews and screenshots. Interesting game. in Moby Games it describes the game as Adult, Horror, Puzzle Sovling.
Wow, someone took an advantage to sell it for $500 bucks?Well, in GameFaqs, it does tell that it costs $80-$250. Expensive!!! Looks like a good game from the positive review I read in GameFaqs.

Status : Online | It is one of my very favorite games. Mysterious and very interactive. It has some very nice music as you enter each room, but only lasting a short time. Lots of unusual artwork and some intriguing puzzles involving getting to inaccessable places. The end game is a sharp change in tone from mystery to horror.

Can you quench your thirst by watching a painting of a glass of water?

when one is in the desert, that painting of a glass can make one salivate... but i'd ride a camel to get that game (sat on a horse once, scared me silly)

Beware of fata morganas!
You could try gametz, I believe there are one or two alices, but it will not be easy. Or you could get rich. Or someone might take pity on you and lend you their Alice. Or you could get lucky on eBay, it happens. Have a look at Item # 3018053546. Two months old. (No, I'm not the buyer.) Ebay has been very good to me, takes time, energy and patience though.

Don't fata morganas occur in the air over water? In thus case, I could drink...but with my luck it'd be salt water....ew.
That auction listing doesn't tell the buy it now price, i wonder what it sold for.. Not sure how i missed that one though, i've had a search going for months.
So...in lieu of getting rich....which I'm open to of course...I'll have to hope for the pity...<sniff>

Yes it does! The buy it now price was $7.99 and after two hours someone came along and snatched Alice up, that's why you didn't see it. Unless you also search completed items.

are you sure about this? the Buy it Now price is usually MORE than the starting bid which was $7.99! If someone got it for $8 freaking bucks....i'm sooooo jealous!

Status : Online | Wow Alice Interactive for a buy it now of $8? That was some lucky person. Hopefully it was someone who really wanted to play the game as opposed to someone who would turn right around and auction it off for a buy it now of $500.
I played this game, and was kept interested throughout. Certainly not the greatest game, definitely not the worst. The only disappointing thing for me was the game got garbled up at the end, so I'm not sure at all if I saw all the possible endings. Ended up trading it away so I'll never know for sure.
