Gameplay Mechanics and Player Agency
The protagonist is the most radical departure. This Alice does not grow or shrink with potions; she grows her callousness. She is not curious; she is observant. In one pivotal early chapter, when a guard attempts to assault her, she does not scream. She calculates the angle of his exposed jugular and kills him with a broken teacup shard. She then vomits for ten minutes. This cycle—brutal action followed by debilitating guilt—becomes her character arc. She is not becoming a hero; she is becoming a monster who knows she is a monster.
