"Alice in Wonderland" - is one of the most incredible and bizarre stories ever to tell the world under the guise of a fairy-tale. Now, co-author of the legendary Doom turned it all upside down. The game easily crossed the limits of permitted when dealing with a literary source, turning a classic story in a shell of black humor and grotesque. Alice grew up and got into a madhouse. Wonderland has undergone a lot of change: the Cheshire cat walks with an earring in his ear, adoring caterpillar mushrooms is suffering from drug addiction, the forests are full of monsters and ghosts darting about the palaces. Bloody kitchen knife and a true homing deck cards to help re-establish order Alice in dreamland.

From the very outset in the West - from the time of Homer himself in about 750 BCE - the epic has been the most highly regarded of literary genres. It is rivaled only by tragedy, which arose a bit more than two centuries later, as the most respected, the most influential, and, from a slightly different vantage point, the most prestigious mode of addressing the human condition in literary terms. The major epics are the big boys, the works that, from the very outset, everyone had heard of and everyone knew, at least by reputation. They are the works that had the most profound and most enduring cultural influence. And they are very much with us still, some more than others, but all - or all the most successful ones - are more or less firmly enshrined in cultural memory. They are still read. They are still taught. They still gain imitators and admirers. The stories they tell still shape our imagination and aspirations.
