Japanese-developed visual novel / point-and-click adventure game, released in 1991. The title and imagery is inspired by Alice in Wonderland. Designed and directed by Haruhiko Shono, it pioneered the use of pre-rendered 3D graphics in adventure games, two years before Myst.

While not quite as robust as later director games, this still is a quite beautiful effort and a pioneer in point & click games. The amount of artwork put into it is very impressive and the game definitely has a unique identity, but things like the lack of persistent music or the very early 1st person movement plus its overly abstract design with no way of saving or knowing how many cards you have collected detracts from the experience. If it had been made with all the improvements mid 90s brought, it could have been truly great.
Be warned that even with dosbox, is hard to emulate it, unless you figure out the exact right amount of cycles the game plays either too fast or too slow. I couldn't do the ending sequence because of that.
