It Is Completed

I have finished "Alice: Madness Returns" on my Victor profile. As promised, the stats:

-->Took me about two and a half weeks to get through the game, playing for about 20-21 hours.
-->Ended the game on four roses of health thanks to inability to get away from those stupid graspy hands
-->Teapot Cannon remained favorite weapon throughout because of pure awesomeness
-->I did not die in any fight! :D In fact, I pretty much stopped needing the back-up of Hysteria after Chapter 2.
-->I achieved a 99% completion rate on this profile, getting:
94/94 Memories
58/59 Pig Snouts (somehow I missed one in the first chapter, have no idea where)
74/83 Bottles (scattered throughout the first four chapters, although I unlocked concept art for both Chapter 2 and 5)
16/16 Radula Rooms

So yeah, if I want to New Game + this profile, I have a few things to look for and unlock, at least. Next year, I just might do that, while simultaneously trying the game on Hard. Or possibly even Nightmare. With the fully-upgraded weapons and the roses to soak damage, I could just make it to the end. (Either that or throw on the Hattress dress, since I have a fair whack of unnecessary teeth. . .) It was fun replaying the game, though -- especially on a new profile. Good mix of getting to go through the game almost like it was the first time and having plenty of anti-frustration features to keep me from tearing my hair out.

And now -- well, "Card Castles In The Sky" needs a cover image, so I might just go work on that for a bit. Victoria mixed with some Cardbridge maybe?
