I can’t tell false from true; real from unreal. And I want to. I must. Perhaps I am destined to be always on the keen edge of madness. One thing remains certain; I am unable to avoid the visions. I must confront them.
Alice Liddell

Alice: Madness Returns Storybook was a free-to-download application developed by Electronic Arts to promote Alice: Madness Returns. Presented as an interactive book, the app was released on May 22, 2011 for the iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch, as well as a browser port for Facebook, however, they were later removed.[1]

The iOS versions can still be retrieved in the Purchased list if they are backed up in iCloud or iTunes. Unfortunately, there are currently no mirrors for the Flash version.

It was only about 20 minutes long and there was minimal interactivity, so the player is not missing out on much if they simply watch the YouTube playthrough in external links.

Summary[]

The Storybook was a prequel to Madness Returns, covering the ten-year period that Alice Liddell was treated in Rutledge Asylum, finishing around the time of her release and move to Houndsditch Home for Wayward Youth. As well as covering the events that happened during American McGee's Alice in Wonderland, it also showed what happened to Alice in the asylum.

To progress through the story, the viewer must interact with the illustrations by pressing buttons, moving objects around the screen, or reading The Illustrated London News newspaper articles.

Alchemical discoveries[]

There were several astronomical symbols hidden throughout the Storybook. Locating the symbols and pressing them correctly will result in unlocking preview screenshots and concept art for Madness Returns. These images can then be saved onto the viewing device and be used as background wallpaper.
