About Alice Nation
Alice Nation drops you into the Beyond, a fairy‑tale world assembled from cards. You guide Alice as she discovers new locations, meets eccentric residents, and searches for a path back to reality. The game lets you drag action and item cards onto characters and places, letting you explore, interact, and solve puzzles in many ways.
You can gather resources, craft items, and choose whether to greet, fight, or stealthily take objects from foes. Hidden clues appear through signal scans, and you can challenge NPCs to card games while piecing together the town’s unsettling story.
01 / THE GUIDE
Card Dragging Mechanics
The core interaction involves dragging action and item cards onto locations or characters. This lets you explore, interact, and solve puzzles by applying the appropriate card. When a card is placed, the game reacts based on the card type and the target, offering multiple possible outcomes for the same situation.
- Experiment with different card types on the same target to discover varied results.
- Observe how the game describes the outcome to learn which cards are most effective.

Exploration and Puzzle Solving
Exploration is driven by moving through the storybook world and using cards to unlock new areas. Puzzles often require you to combine resources or choose a specific approach, such as greeting, force, or stealth. If a path is blocked, trying a different method or using a crafted item can open a new route.
- Take note of blocked paths and consider alternative card actions.
- Look for environmental hints that suggest which approach might work.

Resource Gathering & Crafting
You can gather resources throughout the world and combine them to craft useful items. Crafted items can then be dragged onto characters or locations to achieve effects that raw resources cannot. Crafting expands the range of actions you can take, giving you more options for solving puzzles or confronting NPCs.
- Collect as many resources as possible before attempting complex puzzles.
- Compare crafted items with raw resources to see which offers more versatility.

NPC Interactions & Card Games
Residents of the Beyond have their own lives, loves, and rivalries. You can engage them through dialogue, combat, or by challenging them to a card game. These interactions often reveal story details or unlock new quests. Scanning signals can provide hidden clues that help you understand NPC motives and advance investigations.
- Try challenging NPCs to a card game to see what story details emerge.
- Use signal scans when you feel you are missing crucial information.

Saving, Cloud Sync, and Pace
The game allows you to save at any time and stores progress in the cloud, letting you continue later on the same device. It is designed to be played at your own pace without timed input, and a mouse‑only option is provided. Family Sharing is supported, so the game can be shared with other accounts in your family if permitted.
- Save frequently, especially before attempting a new card combination.
- Take advantage of the mouse‑only option if you prefer point‑and‑click control.
