About TAISHO x ALICE epilogue
TAISHO x ALICE epilogue is a fairytale visual novel that places you in the role of a heroine navigating a dark, memory‑less world. The story begins when a blond‑haired, blue‑eyed young man names you “Arisu” and challenges you to catch him, launching a chase through a rabbit‑hole setting.
The game is fully voiced in Japanese for every character except the player‑controlled heroine, and it can be played as a standalone title. A content warning notes mature themes such as mental illness, violence, blood, and mild sexual language, and the developers suggest playing episodes 1‑3 first for additional context.
01 / THE GUIDE
Story Premise
You awaken in utter darkness with no memory of your name, only to be approached by a blond‑haired, blue‑eyed man who calls you “Arisu.” His cryptic invitation—“You want to know who I am? Then let's see you try and CATCH ME IF YOU CAN!”—sets the chase in motion.
The chase leads you deeper into a rabbit‑hole world that blends classic fairytale motifs with a darker tone. As the heroine, you must navigate this environment while uncovering the truth behind the man’s intentions and the surrounding mystery.
- Pay close attention to the opening dialogue; it establishes the tone and hints at later narrative twists.
- Consider how the chase premise mirrors other fairytale retellings to spot thematic parallels.

Love Interest – Alice
The epilogue focuses on a single love interest named Alice, who serves as the central figure you aim to rehabilitate. Your decisions guide Alice toward a “happily ever after,” shaping his development throughout the narrative.
Alice’s role is distinct from traditional “Prince Charming” archetypes; the story frames him as a character whose personal growth depends on the heroine’s choices, emphasizing emotional resolution over classic rescue tropes.
- Observe how Alice’s dialogue changes after key decisions; it reflects his evolving state.
- Compare Alice’s arc to other visual‑novel love interests to understand the unique rehabilitation focus.

Choices and Endings
Throughout the visual novel, you encounter key decision points that require you to choose between options. Each choice influences the story’s direction and can lead to different endings, making player agency a core mechanic.
The branching structure means that the same scene may resolve differently depending on earlier selections. Multiple endings are possible, encouraging players to explore alternative paths to see how Alice’s fate changes.
- Read each choice carefully; subtle wording often signals its narrative impact.
- If you aim for a specific ending, note the choices that precede it for future reference.

Voice Cast
All characters except the player‑controlled heroine are fully voiced in Japanese. Notable cast members include Daisuke Hirakawa as Cinderella, Tomoaki Maeno as Red Riding Hood, and Yoshitugu Matsuoka as Alice, providing distinct vocal personalities for each role.
The absence of a voice for the heroine allows players to project their own interpretation onto the protagonist, while the fully voiced supporting cast adds depth to the narrative atmosphere.
- Listen for familiar voice actors to appreciate their performance range.
- Notice how the unvoiced heroine influences immersion compared to the voiced cast.

Standalone vs Series Recommendation
The epilogue can be played without prior experience, offering a self‑contained story. However, the developers recommend playing TAISHO x ALICE episodes 1‑3 first to gain fuller context for characters and plot references that appear in the epilogue.
Choosing to play the epilogue alone provides immediate access, while playing the earlier episodes may enrich understanding of backstory and character motivations, especially for returning fans.
- If you have limited time, treat the epilogue as a complete experience.
- If you enjoy deep lore, consider the earlier episodes to clarify ambiguous moments.
