Alice...

Ok, I know I'm a week behind, but my husband and I played together and I need to talk about this "Alice" thing...

Yes, it was loud. (Since there is no audio for the words, I just turned everything down really far.)

Yes, it was noisy. (They used audio frequency feedback when things like a microphone or cell phone gets too close to an amp or computer)

Yes, the "game" portions were unreasonably difficult and seemingly useless, causing you to need Brad's help in order to complete them, even though you made the exact same moves and got a different outcome.

No, I didn't play all 5 episodes. Only 4 of them would load.

No, I don't think this stuff is appropriate for any child under the age of 12ish. There are too many misappropriated ideas shoved awkwardly into these "Episodes". All which encourage dangerous (and even potentially illegal) behavior. They also paint some groups of people in a bad light.

No, I would not recommend this to anyone I know, especially not a teacher.

No, the title doesn't make sense. If Alice is "Inanimate" then she better not move the entire time.

Other than teaching me about something to avoid, and to create discussion, I genuinely don't see the value of this poorly made "video game".  I could discuss the quality of the game itself all day, but I'll spare you all my continued ranting.

Overall, I'd really like to get those 2 hours of my life back.
