But as a longtime fan of American McGee&#8217;s Alice (and someone who still hasn&#8217;t stopped mourning the franchise&#8217;s undeserved fate), one title from today&#8217;s Find Your Next Game showcase immediately caught my eye: Cutout, a 2D side-scrolling action game in which you play a paper doll with the power to snip off and steal the limbs of her enemies.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Cutout, players control Lena, a &#8220;child of the forest&#8221; who takes the form of a 2D paper doll. After discovering a pair of scissors&#8211;and tapping into her internal rage&#8211;Lena embarks on a quest through a grimdark fairytale world full of enemies whose limbs she can sever and attach to her own body, giving her unique powers. But there&#8217;s a catch: Enemies can also steal <em>Lena&#8217;s<\/em> limbs and use them against her in battle.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Cutout - Official Announcement Trailer\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/xlBKpbPOffM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition to stealing various limbs for advantage in combat, players will also be faced with choices that will shape what kind of person Lena becomes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Will you claim what they denied you, or heal what they destroyed?&#8221; an unseen narrator asks in the game&#8217;s trailer.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From the spooky-cute fairytale aesthetic to the surprisingly violent premise and even Lena&#8217;s striped stockings, Cutout is definitely giving off major Alice vibes (with a dash of Little Nightmares in there, too). We&#8217;ll likely never get another Alice game from American McGee (thanks, EA), but with Cutout on the way, fans of nightmarish fairytales finally have a spiritual successor to look forward to.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Developed by Italian studio 906 Games, Cutout does not yet have an official release date, but is listed as &#8220;coming soon&#8221; on Steam, where it&#8217;s currently available to wishlist.<\/p>\n<p><br \/>\n<center><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gamespot.com\/articles\/all-the-goth-girlies-who-loved-american-mcgees-alice-need-to-see-this-game\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article At Source <\/a><br \/>\n<center\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Now that Gamescom has kicked off, a seemingly endless barrage of new game trailers are hitting social media, and it&#8217;s easy for smaller projects to&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":79819,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[3562,295,258,1576,28978,2105,28979],"class_list":["post-79817","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-tech-gadgets-reviews","tag-alice","tag-american","tag-game","tag-girlies","tag-goth","tag-loved","tag-mcgees","wpcat-32-id"],"brizy_media":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/79817","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=79817"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/79817\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/79819"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=79817"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=79817"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=79817"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
