About This Game The Bottom of the Well A visual novel where Alice steps into a different kind of wonderland. In The Bottom of the Well, you play as Alice who has just had an unsettingly life-like dream about the end of the world. She retells her experience to her friend in a huge, branching narrative. Although a single play-through might take as little as 20 minutes, experiencing all the possible paths Alice can take through the ruins of her city will take you many hours. The game is intended to be replayed several times with different permutations of Alice: try playing as a survival-minded lone-wolf, or a social butterfly, or why not attempt the difficult but rewarding romantic route? The stats you select for your Alice in the beginning of the game influences everything from small comments to major choices. This is an updated, reworked and improved version of my entry to the WAG (Write A Game) Challenge arranged by IGDA's Game Writing SIG, where it placed first in the amateur category. The jury had this to say: - WINNER: THE BOTTOM OF THE WELL The Bottom of The Well delivers an entertaining, branched story with interesting options. Alice's dream is genuinely terrifying. The conversations feel natural and appropriate. Players can randomize their character stats, but still negotiate the game with deliberate and meaningful choices. The final game stats give The Bottom of the Well immense replay value. One judge played the game several times to find the "best" ending! 7aa9394dea Title: The Bottom of the WellGenre: Free to Play, RPGDeveloper:Red Nettle StudioPublisher:Red Nettle StudioRelease Date: 25 Jan, 2016 The Bottom Of The Well Download Setup Compressed The Bottom of the Well, despite being short, turned out to be a surprisingly engaging and challenging little VN. For a free game, this is absolutely worth your while.. I enjoyed it enough at first but there is too much repetiton and it's a touch unrealistic for my tastes (though I have no problem with super-natural elements). It was a good idea with great atmosphere but the game portion needs some improvement. I was going to give the game a positive review because it is free (and that counts for something, even though I have played similar free apocaylse virtual novels that I enjoyed more) but I am now running into a lot of bugs and my crowbar has been removed as an option.Speaking of crowbars... I don't get what the big deal was. I wouldn't call them a "specialy" tool: we always had one growing up and at the current moment I have two or three different types. But the game treated owning one as a huge deal... But it's just like owning a hammer - at least, where I live in the USA, it is.. It's free, easy (?) to play and oddly compelling. There's no flashy graphics, no complicated key combinations, the action is delivered as a narrative, only you decide from a list of options what our heroine (Alice) does next. Unfortunatly the choices I've made so far have resulted in her death, some more gruesome than others, but....It's free, did I mention that? Get it, try it, you have nothing to lose, except Alice's life.. It's free, easy (?) to play and oddly compelling.
