this looks really hard to make right, but incredible immersive if done so. I like original ideas

The game sounds really interesting, but I'm surprised an app wasn't built to be used with the game, for players to join a 'chat room.' Example, everyone opens the app, game master gets a random generated code for all to join, and then you can name your character. I feel this would be a lot simpler than everyone group chatting on other apps. Same with the voice recorder, should be built in the app.

I played this over this past weekend... it was amazing. If you like RPGs, this is a Must-play game. One of the coolest experiences I've ever had with a game.

This game looks really interesting! One thing I think should be highlighted, although seems very trivial, is that the game at its core is a RPG, not a detective/mystery solving game. Threads comes up from the cards, along with what the players come up with, are incidents that drive the narrative, not simply clues like from Cluedo for player to solve the case.

This has quite a lot more structure than I was expecting, but I suppose that's necessary to prevent idle gossip & jokes flying back & forth between the players when the pseudo-GM can't see. I like that it uses a soundtrack as a timer; that's a clever approach.

Clearly a hard setup, but a very interesting game! Thank you Becca!

Very intensive when played at a distance, works well.

Great summary. I decided to start 2021 with a RPG combo, and since I'm a huge fan of ViewScream I wanted to find something that was more or less "specular" to it, which I believe Alice is Missing is (with one game relying entirely on videochat and the other on text messages). So I bought it yesterday to try it tonight, without ever playing it or seeing it played before: videos such as yours are a huge help.

I backed it, it’s like a more intense version of Clue and I love it!

ooooh, this looks really great!

It's hard enough getting players off their phones now you need to use it to play?! xD I like how the GM gets to play though! Seems like a cool concept I might try with my fam! Thanks! :D

Players will not loose time looking at phone, if the game is in phone

Man I never know if the games are amazing, or Becca Scott is just working her magic. Either way I enjoy a good video though and more prepared for anyone who throws a random board game my way on game nights

I had hoped that this would be played exclusively through phones and not require the players be in the same location (like ViewScream is meant to be played through video chat), which would make it great for COVID lockdown.

It seems interesting. My biggest concern is the time limit, for slow typers like me it might be hard

I👏LOVE👏THIS👏GAME👏

Thank you

The NSA is wondering what the sweet fuck is going on.

My interest in this game shot up at 1:42. the power of gay is truly a sight to behold

I have a quick question about suspect and location cards. do we put both of the copies of each card into the draw pile? it makes it seem like it but that wouldn't make sense, thank you!

this sounds so interesting, i wish one of my friends backed this...

Our favorite video, we can't stop watching it

I really like how this game looks, but I don't know if we have the requiered assets in our team to play it. We have a laptop, but as we are punks (anarchists) we only have very basic mobile phones, and no one in the group has a smartphone (and given our life philosophy, we never will have one). I have a very basic cell phone from 2006 (still working perfectly), and my friends in my gaming group have also very similar phones. I still hope that we can get into this game with these assets.

"and that's the basics" ...I'll need to watch this a couple more times to get it right. Only cause its so intense of a setup

nice

I iust have a question, how do we use the searching cards?

My issue was not being prepared for how the game was supposed to end. It sort of just fizzled because my table and I were so used to concrete endings, not roleplay ones where each player had an equal share in the narrative.

Damn, this really sounds like an interesting game, but I know I can't find the group for it.

I backed this

What are the searching cards for? When do you draw, or use them?

can it be played more than once?? i am thinking about getting it for christmas and wanted to know if i can play with different groups of friends!

Change speed of video to 1.5 or 2. You're welcome

Oh, shit, it's the briarwoods!!

Use discord...

How can this be played at the table with cards and a soundtrack timer when everybody has to be alone and write on a smartphone??

At first I thought this was going to be based on Alice is Alive, from the Nightvale people.

Isn't it better to read out the available characters? Rather than let players choose with the cards face-up - as there are spoilers (i.e. secrets) on them.

Sounds cool but...is it just a LARP?

Does Becca have her own KZfaq channel, or is she just on here?

i'd love to see this actually played but you'd need a chat logger app to record a game properly i think

A table top game that requires everyone to keep their phone in their hand? Seems like a recipe for distraction. But if you are a fan of CLUE, might be fun.

Where is alice

I remember Alice is Dead from back in the day.

I'm completely lost.

Wait, so you never figure out who done it????

This video said a whole lot without saying much of anything, honestly. It's okay to go ahead and clearly spell some things out. What is the "objective" of the game? What is the conclusion? What do half of those "final questions" even mean? Was someone in the group the killer/kidnapper/whatever? What is the win/lose scenario? IS there a win/lose scenario? There's just SO MUCH that wasn't explained. Primarily WHAT is the actual OBJECTIVE? It's a cool idea, but this "explanation" video seems so hesitant to actually explain anything that it feels like maybe the game is incomplete or missing something vital and the creators just want us to buy it without knowing. I get the feeling that the game is kinda like Clue. But it feels as if Clue has been described as "It's a game where dice are rolled and tokens are moved around a gameboard with a VERY intriguing objective in mind. Involves characters and the use of tools and locations, as well as a certain form of deductive reasoning." Unless an "actual" how-to-play video is put out with a clearer description of how the game is played and what the objective is, I'm going to have to give this one a pass. Because as it stands, it feels as if there may be some holes and incomplete rules that make it hard to fulfill an expectation, and thus the designers are afraid to set any. Instead leaving it to us to "imagine" the game as perhaps something that it isn't.

I have to run this game for a class I'm in. Jesus Christ is this complicated. I can more easily explained the Chronicles of Darkness Attribute + Ability system than this.

What happened to game the game??

interested in this game, but this reviewer was kinda overly intense or something. just turned off by her

Nice! How can I contact you Becca?

Hardly a RPG, sounds much more like a board game to be honest

ALICE IS GAY??

Pronouns? Where was that on the character cards?

This is not a game. This is a jumping off point to create a story. Your actions in this game have ZERO INFLUENCE on anything that happens. It is NOT a game. It is a writing prompt.

Thats a boardgame. Hardly a RPG at all.

People who wear glasses should really just wear them instead of leaning forward during KZfaq videos and talking slowly haha.

Worst game I ever played

too woke for me

Pronouns? Fuckk no, thanks for making this an easy pass for me

Can’t wait to let people know my pronouns. I’m sure it’s a huge part of the game 👍

This game sounds really complex, really repetitive and really woke. I'll pass.
