We would like to share some of the answers we've received through the survey and the comments from the developers.
How interesting is Alice Fiction?
Will you play after the official release?
Reviews
- I like the idea of a metaverse, and the battle system is unique. I can't wait for the official release.
- The bgm is nice and the theme song is good too. I'm in love with the whole aesthetic and the colorfulness as well!
- I understand why they insist on using a headphone when playing. The music, including the SE, fits the whole atmosphere and it's very good.
- The loading time was too long and it was stressful.
- There were a few parts in the game where the reactions were late.
Comments from the developers
More than 80% of the users who answered the survey said the game was "interesting/somewhat interesting".
Many users were especially satisfied with the style of the world and the exhilarating bgm.
However, we've received many feedbacks regarding the errors that affected the overall gameplay. We believe this is a big issue that needs to be resolved.
We were able to understand the issues that must be fixed before the official release. Again, we appreciate everyone who has participated in this closed beta test.We will do our very best to polish the game for the official release and ensure a satisfying experience for our users.
Please tell us how you feel about the main story.
Reviews
- I'm not a big fan of games with stories so I usually skip the story parts, but I was drawn to the aesthetic and decided to read it. I'm enjoying it, and haven't skipped it at all.
- I'm looking forward to where the story goes in the future.
- The story and the world of the game is really fun
- I would be happy if everything was fully voiced after chapter 4 too!
- It seemed like the game was going to let you relive the story, but being referred to as "brother" and "him" out of no where felt off, and it made it hard for me to get into the story.
Comments from the developers
Regarding the story, there more than 90% of the users answering it was "good/somewhat good".
With that being said, we've also received comments mentioning that it was difficult for them to be in the protagonist's shoes due to his gender being locked.
With this game being released globally, we understand that being able to freely express one's gender is very important, and we will be considering this.
Please tell us how you feel about the battle system.
Reviews

- The battle is really exhilarating and it's good.
- The battle itself is speedy and easy to play on both manual and auto.
- It was difficult to understand what to do with the characters and the panels.

According to the closed beta test survey, the large sword wielding Lancelot came in first place for the users' favorite character.

We have received many comments regarding the character upgrade system. We will make adjustments for this for the official release.
Long loading time
We have received many comments regarding the long loading time. We will make adjustments so that the experience will be stress-free for the official release.
Difficult to understand the attack type/character type in the character list
We will adjust this so that it will be easier for users to see the character type (attack/defend/interfere) and the attack type (Physical attack/special attack) within the character list.
Differentiate the display of a physical attack and a special attack
We will adjust the damage display so that users can tell the difference between the physical attacks and the special attacks.
Difficult to see which character goes to which panel
We will adjust this so that it will be easier for users to see which character goes to which panel during the battle.
Will there be male Folklores?
We have only introduced female Folklores within the closed beta test, but we are planning on releasing male Folklores as well in the official release.
