Alice

by Katherine Marcus, 2006


'Alice' is a non-linear interactive story based on Lewis Carroll's book Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. Several scenes have been chosen from the book the be adapted into an environment in which the user controls Alice's choices and actions. The aim is to engage the viewer more with the story.

I was attracted to make a project like this by realising the limitations of both film adaptations of Alice and many of the non-linear interactive stories already produced. I wanted to address the problems of both media and try to bring them together into a truly non-linear version of a book.

The purpose of the project is to show that a linear story can be successfully transformed into an interactive non-linear piece without sacrificing audience understanding, interest and engagement.
