31 years after its initial release, FACE and Sankindo's take on Alice's wonderland journeys is finally available in English! Intro, ending, dialogues and end credits are fully translated; elsewhere, the title screen and several GFX have been localized as well. Fushigi no Yume no Alice is a colorful take on the classical Carrol take, but with several twists thrown in. There are stalwarts like the Rabbit, the Card Soldiers and the Queen, sure. On the other hand, Pinocchio is a jangly marionette who kidnapped Snow White, Joseph the Dog from "Heidi, Girl of the Alps" is a tuba-playing boss and the Big Bad Wolf spits out... chocolates? And while there's no tea, mirrors or rabbit holes, Alice can use Magic Books that let her cast useful spells such as seeing invisible power-ups, jump higher, or momentarily turn invincible. The soundtrack's quite catchy, too. Tbe eclectic mix of various fables, folk tales, and stories was what led us into translating the title as "The Fairytale Dreams of Alice", which feels more consistent with the game's content and what the developers were aiming for. Work on the project was fairly well-paced, with the usual obstacles and whatnot. MooZ’s help was fundamental in handling GFX reinsertion and some intro/ending timing issues. Also, while the available space meant my translation was cut down a good amount, it's perfectly readable and it’s fully translated to English, so here's hoping everyone enjoys it! Download the patch here.

By the way, everyone, we've built up a little Github for Alice's translation, chiefly addressing some technical stuff for those interested:

Awesome work! I've only played this game briefly, but I'll have to give it another go with this translation!
Thanks!
