About TAISHO x ALICE episode 1

✦ AI summary

TAISHO x ALICE episode 1 is a fully Japanese-voiced visual novel where you play a heroine with amnesia navigating a gender-swapped fairytale world, making choices that determine your romantic fate with one of two princes across branching stories. The game's standout twist is that YOU'RE the one saving your Prince Charming by guiding him toward his happy ending rather than the other way around.

DUALICE(TAISHO x ALICE episodeI) is a fairytale visual novel in which YOU must save your Prince Charming!
The game is fully voiced in Japanese (excluding the main character).

As you progress through the story, you will be asked to make choices at key points that will lead you to different endings. You will take on the role of the fairytale heroine in order to rehabilitate your chosen love interest and guide him to his "happily ever after"!

At the end of the prologue, you will choose your prince and enter the Looking-Glass World. Each love interest has his own standalone story set in an alternate universe where the relationships between the characters will vary.

*Episode 1 features two love interests: Cinderella and Red Riding Hood.

\
Once upon a time, in a topsy-turvy world...

In the beginning, you find yourself lost within a world of utter darkness. Your memories are gone; even your name is a mystery.
But just when the bitter loneliness threatens to break your spirit, you meet Alice—a blond-haired, blue-eyed young man who promptly christens you "Arisu."
Like you, Alice cannot remember anything beyond his own name. Ignoring his protests, you drag him along with you through the darkness... until you happen upon a massive mirror made of crystal.
You stumble through the glass and into the Looking-Glass World, an antiquated fairytale dreamscape that feels oddly familiar...
There, amid a colorful cast of gender-swapped fairytale characters, you take on the role of the heroine and join them in their twisted tales.

How will the story end? It's up to you!
ONCE UPON A TIME, your parents arrange a marriage between you and a man named Cinderella.
But there's no way you're marrying a guy you've never met! So you sneak over to his cafe to spy on him... only for him and his brothers to mistake you for a beggar and give you a job you didn't even know you wanted!
From now on, you'll live under the same roof as your potential future husband, all while he has no idea of your true identity. Will his love blossom before the clock strikes twelve?ONCE UPON A TIME, you receive a threatening letter in the mail from someone identified only as "The Wolf." Thankfully, Officer Red Riding Hood has come to your rescue! Except... he wants to keep you under 24-hour surveillance?!
It's just the two of you, all alone in your mansion. But how can you romance Officer Handsome when he keeps you at arm's length?
And who is "The Wolf," anyway? You'll need to work together to solve the case—and perhaps you'll melt his frosty exterior along the way!

✦ AI summary

Players praise the game's sharp writing, excellent voice acting, and quality translation that delivers genuine humor throughout. The story features clever plot twists, strong romantic tension, and unique takes on fairytale characters with good character development. However, some find the early pacing slow and the premise occasionally contrived, and a few note the game contains content that may feel misogynistic or require an open-minded approach to appreciate fully.

this is probably the only otome where the heroine outfreaks the love interest lmao

The way the story is written didn't click with me. Cinderella's route was okay because at least the narrative hadn't turned repetitive yet, even if the route itself was unnecessarily long. Red Hiding Hood's is just annoying from start to finish. I think if I had started with it I would have dropped the series right there, which would've at least earned me a refund. I would only recommend it to people who have a high tolerance for insufferable, toxicly positive protagonists.

[h3] Pros [/h3] ♡ [b] Interesting plottwists, character parallels, and good execution of concept. [/b] The writing wasn’t mindblowingly excellent, but it was good/acceptable. I like how the writers tried different approaches to each of the LI’s original fairytales. There’s also MANY parallels you can feel between the two LI’s even though they never interact. I think what the writers did best was definitely romantic tension. ♡ [b] Extremely funny (IMO). [/b] This game has a lot of humor which I wasn’t expecting, definitely more packed with it than other otomes I’ve played. And the smooth translations was the cherry on top! Seriously, lots of Japanese games can have somewhat awkward humor due to bad translations, but here it’s perfect. ♡ [b] Unique and interesting MC. [/b] Instead of being a blank slate, you can see the heroine has so much personality and even feel her compatibility with both LI’s. She’s optimistic, funny, smart, charming.. yet has her cons such as being too spontaneous and stubborn. It’s also very refreshing to see a MC who really plays a more active role in the routes. ♡ [b] Excellent voice acting and almost fully VA’d. [/b] The only character who doesn’t have …

At first I thought the Main Character was boring and the typical self-insert/blank slate, but she's actually kind of fun! She's pushy and forward and that might be annoying for some people but some of her lines are really entertaining. There's a line where she thinks [spoiler]"I must've sounded like a total creep. You know what I mean, right? 'C'mon, baby, just the tip!'"[/spoiler] Girl why would you even think that?! The stories were great too. I like Red Riding Hood but Cinderella's story felt more interesting. I like Alice too! He and the heroine, Arisu, are my faves.
