Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance daily demon vol. 58 – Alice
For the 58th Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance demon video, Atlus is highlighting Alice. Fans should recognize her as she’s been well represented in the series.
Learn more about Alice’s background below, courtesy of the Shin Megami Tensei Wiki:
Alice’s appearance is based off of the titular character of Alice in Wonderland, while her personality and demeanor derive from a European folk tale, used to scare children into behaving.
In Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland and its sequel, Alice is a young girl attempting to escape boredom. After chasing a talking rabbit down a rabbit hole, she ends up in a nonsensical fantasy world populated by anthropomorphic animals, personified playing cards, and the Hatter, who hosts a never-ending “mad tea-party.” The character Alice herself is said to be taken from Alice Pleasance Liddell, a little girl who was close to Carroll.
In the myth, Alice is a girl who died at a young age. After becoming a spirit, she gained extreme magical power that drove her insane. Alice would visit misbehaving children at night and “befriend” them by killing them in their sleep and taking them to the afterlife.
We have the new Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance video for Alice below.
Atlus is bringing Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance to Switch on June 14, 2024.
