Richard & Alice

February 11, 2013 Owl Cave Mastertronic
Point-and-click Puzzle Adventure Indie
About

Richard & Alice is a riveting mystery story about family, desperation and the weather – all set to the beat of an indie adventure game.
Storyline

Richard and Alice are prisoners. Both their cells have a leather sofa and a state-of-the-art computer. But only Richard’s has a TV.
Outside, the snow falls. It has done for some time. Elsewhere, they say, parts of the world have been rendered an inhospitable desert, the earth parched and cracked. People live in the zones now. The lucky ones, anyway.

Richard and Alice have secrets.
