Alice is truly a refreshing sight, barefoot in her 'Siren' dress.
Alice: Madness Returns, the sequel to the classic American McGee's Alice reunites us with the heroine of Wonderland, albeit more than a decade later with Alice apparently barely hanging onto sanity. But heck, that only means she's more mature and beautiful than ever in her oddball way... but nicely now she can appeal to footfans by donning a couple of special dresses. The Siren dress is a wonderfully whimsical number composed of sea creatures and elements, made of course perfect by Alice's own slim ankles, smooth bare soles and pearly-tipped toes. For the more gothic and gore-inclined, there's the somewhat macabre Fleshmaiden dress, which is basically a hunk of bloody meat, teeth and sinew slathered dress-like on Alice's slender bod. I'm not really the sort to like bloodstained feet, but hey, some may.
The Siren is unlocked by finishing Chapter Two of the game, and supposedly can be used thereafter in any stage (and I presume will show up in the game's real-time cutscenes). Since there is a stage where Alice can become a giant and stomp on some miniature enemies- having her do so while barefoot would be a BIG treat for GTS fans!
As far as I can tell, the Fleshmaiden is DLC, but I'm not sure if it's paid or free. In any case, I think the sea-themed dress is the better outfit, with Alice's feet clean and blood-free. All the better to kiss and worship those petite toes and soles, I think.
Gory but strangely gorgeous, if you like your bare feet bloody.
While the game generally has nice views of Alice as she pads about battling twisted beings in Wonderland, I have to say I'm kinda disappointed that she apparently explodes into a cloud of butterflies or other wispy fragments when she dies, which robs us of a good KO animation. Still, I think Alice is quite fetching to watch, running barefoot in her cool dresses, so footfans liking this lovely lunatic (I have to say, the accent is irresistible) may want to check this newly-released game out. If and when I get my own copy of the game, I may post more vids of Alice in barefoot action. For now though, you can check out some nice FOOTage below. Enjoy!
Sea, sand and soles. Perfect!
